Make Games was founded in 2025 by a single game developer who wanted to share their knowledge and experience with aspiring creators. They noticed that while there were many resources available for learning game development, they were often scattered, inconsistent, or assumed prior knowledge that beginners didn't have.
Our goal is to create a centralized hub where anyone could learn game development through structured, beginner-friendly tutorials and curated resources. We believe that game creation is not just a technical skill but a form of creative expression that should be accessible to everyone.
While our site began with few resources and tutorials, we will continue to expand our library of tutorials and resources to cover more topics and technologies.
