Abstract

“How can I make video games?” This is a question I asked many times to a lot of people (and mostly to Google) when I was a kid. The desire to create games is something that nearly every true gamer happens to have at a certain point. It’s something that is common between all media consumers, from books to movies to video games: we try to create the things that make us feel good. We dedicate a lot of time to video games, and they give us strong emotions and wonderful stories in return. Sometimes they help us in hard times – like if a piece of software can understand us better than a person – and sometimes they just entertain us when we are bored or we need some instant fun. We give them time, and they give us emotions and wellness in return.
