Game Development

Game development is the process of developing a video game. The effort is undertaken by a developer, ranging from a single person to an international team dispersed across the globe.

Ways to make a game

1. Code a game from scratch using raw codding eg C++, JAVA, python etc…
2. Use a Game Engine

💡 Pro tip: please use a Game Engine if your goal is to make a game. don’t re-invent the wheel

Whats a Game Engine?

Game engines are tools available for game designers to code and plan out a game quickly and easily without building one from the ground up.

Top Game Engines

1. Unity
2. Unreal Engine
3. Godot
4. GameMaker Studio etc…

💡 My personal favourite is Unity, feel free to explore the others too..
