Easy to follow Video Course

Suitable for Children or Adults

GamemakerResourcesLearn how to create your own computer games from scratch with no previous knowledge of games design. This course will lead you from being an absolute beginner to being a games designer using  Gamemaker Studio software from YoYo Games.

I have never done anything like this before

The course assumes no knowledge of games design experience and it is assumed that you are a complete beginner to Gamemaker games design. By following the videos you will easily create games even if this is all completely new to you.

But I am not artistic

No problem, we supply the graphics needed for the course and show you how to easily create your own should you want to, using the built in graphics editor. We also show you where to source free graphics online to make your games look more professional.

Do I need to be good at maths or using a computer programming language?

No. The course starts your game writing off with simple drag and drop actions, its so easy that a young child can do it. Later on you will gradually learn to write some code but its no more that a few lines and anything complicated is kept to a minimum.

I am too young/old
The course is suitable for all ages from 8 (with parental supervision) to 108

Course Format:

The lessons are delivered by high quality streaming video, showing clearly each stage of the games making process. This allows you to follow the instruction, pause the video, rewind or replay at any time.

Videos are switchable between windowed and full screen video for maximum clarity.

The course is designed so that you gain underpinning skills as you progress, this ensures a great learning experience and skills you can easily recall for your own projects

Online instructor help is available at various times should it be needed
