MyGameBuilder.com is a website that lets kids (or even adults) make and share their own games.
You can work alone, or in a team. You can do silly one screen games, or epic 100 map RPGs. You can do games with stick figures, or you can make a masterpieces.
Uniquely, the website lets you make games – draw the graphics, make the maps, decide the storyline etc.. all using tools just in the browser, and for free!
On http://mygamebuilder.com, you can easily…
– Draw your game graphics as ’tiles’.
– Connect these tiles to behavioral rules to make ‘actors’. You can just use the existing templates, or modify their behavior
– Place these actors on 2D maps to make games
– Connect maps to make more complex games
– Publish games, allow your friends to play them, share high scores and rate each others’ games
Why MyGameBuilder It Might Be A Killer
Many kids love games and dream of being able to make their own games – but it can be a daunting prospect because the tools are complex or expensive or there’s no-one around who can help. MyGameBuilder overcomes all these problems!
The great thing about game development is that it is multi-disciplinary activity.. art, structured thinking, narrative, organizational skills, creativity and music all play a role in making a great game. We’ve found in our trials that kids invariably find an area that they are confident in and keep improving their skills from that base. Even better, they then bring inmore of their friends to share their games and to teach them how to make their own.
