This series will guide you step by step, from choosing tools to sharing your game with the world. For now, let’s spark your creativity with an easy first task.
Quick Task: Dream Up Your Game Idea
Grab a notebook or open a note on your phone. Spend 10 minutes writing one sentence about a game idea. Ask yourself: What’s a story or activity I love? Could it be a game? For example, if you love hiking, maybe it’s a game where players explore a magical forest. Don’t stress about details—just jot down one idea. This is your first step to becoming a game creator!
