Everyone Makes Games

Video games can be playful, weird, exciting, curious, magical, and even downright scary. We enjoy playing games because they act like windows into other worlds, worlds that move and change as we play with them, worlds whose rules are different than our own. (Sometimes these rules seem to make more sense than ours.) Games can be places we visit for a short time or places we get lost in for long stretches at a time. Through games, we can try on other personas and explore different perspectives.

Whatever games might mean to you, you should know that you can make your own games. And its a lot easier than you think! The Make Your Own Video Games series shows you how to make fun, interactive games from scratch using a few tools.

What Youll Need

To create the games in this series, youll need the following:

  • Access to a computer
  • An internet connection

Thats it! In this book, well work with a free online tool called Twine, which is designed for writing branching stories similar to a Choose Your Own Adventure book. But youll learn to make your Twine games do things a Choose Your Own Adventure book simply couldnt do!

Before you learn how to download Twine and begin making your games, lets first explore some history behind the games you enjoy today.

A Brief History of Games

Games have been around forever, or at least since the start of civilization. In fact, our oldest ancestors made their own games from sheeps bones (the very first dice!). They used seeds and some holes in the dirt to make the game we now call Mancala. Tic-tac-toe was first played more than 3,000 years ago in Egypt!

Games existed long before activities such as writing, painting, and 3D movies. It seems like people were born to play. Whenever a group of people agrees to play by a certain set of rules, a new game is born. As these games pass on to new players, the new group puts its own unique spin on it. For example, a tag player might wonder, Wouldnt tag be more exciting if you could rescue people whove been tagged? And just like that, a new rule is born: games grow and change over time like weird plants.

Games that are designed by a group of people instead of just one person are called folk games. No one person invented tag. More likely, tag had a million different authors who each added their own little touches. This is why so many different versions of tag, like flashlight tag, freeze tag, and kick the can, exist today. All it took was someone to come up with another, more fun way to play the game, and the rest was history.

The mobile games on your phones are designer games, which were made by a single person or a team of people. They arent folk games, but theyre still the result of people playing games and trying to come up with different ways to improve a game or create new games using their imagination.

While playing a game, have you ever thought, This game would be so much cooler if it just had this? If so, you have the makings of a great game designer.
