Want to Create your Own Game?


Have you ever wanted to make your own game? Well now it’s possible with an easy to learn program. The program is called Construct 2 by Scirra. Scirra offers a free version of this program that anyone can download. It uses HTML 5, and allows for the creation of 2D games without having to use code. Construct 2 also comes with an easy tutorial to help anyone set up their own shooter gamer. Here is the tutorial link https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/37/beginners-guide-to-construct-2/page-5.



This tutorial walks through (on a step by step basis) how to create a ghost shooter video game. There is also a link where one can play the game the tutorial will help one create https://www.scirra.com/demos/ghosttutorial/. This is a very simple game that is used to explain how the program works. The program features an easy to use interface while the tutorial provides all the animations one needs to make the game.
  
Construct 2 also has many more capabilities to produce more advanced games, even in the free version. There are other versions available for purchase, but the basic version does allow the creation of more difficult games. I recommend going through the tutorial and experimenting with different features. I hope to make my own customized game using construct 2, and report back to my viewers about other features Construct 2 offers in the near future.

Creating Facebook Game's Introduction

I'm Jacob, and I am a Management Information Systems major interested in video game design. The purpose of this blog is to explore the world of gaming.  My goal is to inform my readers on programs they can use to create their own games that are compatible with Facebook.  I also want my viewers to be informed about the major game design programs that top companies are using.   I will also research programming techniques and ways of creating games. I will also provide tools and tips so my readers will be able to download these programs for themselves. I would also like to create my own game using a very basic game designer.  This can give my viewers a tutorial of how to do the same.  It is my goal to update this blog once a week with new findings of interesting and helpful content.  I am also on Twitter and LinkedIn, so feel free to add me and ask questions me any questions you may have.  Also, feel free to comment on my blog and let me know if there is any topic you would like me to further evaluate.  Overall, I hope you enjoy my blog and that it will give you an insight on a direction to take so you can create your own game.
