If you play video games<\/a>, you\u2019ve probably imagined creating your own video game<\/a> from scratch \u2013 including the storyline, characters<\/a>, leveling systems and the rest of your game\u2019s mechanics and universe. There\u2019s also a good chance you\u2019ve dreamed of one day working for one of the top gaming companies in the world, whether to add your own iconic twist to upcoming fan favorites or to join a team of cutting-edge video game developers.<\/p>\n

Both of these goals are great, but let\u2019s first take a look at the hard truth of the matter. Becoming a professional coder<\/a> or game designer<\/a> takes a certain set of skills. You either acquire these skills by learning them on your own, or you obtain them through a college education, which may feel like a fairly steep gradient if you\u2019re not really sure yet if the profession is right for you.<\/p>\n

\"re5hw\"<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s assume by reading this article that you\u2019re ready for either of these choices. Really, making your own video game can be a lot of fun, even if you don\u2019t plan on joining Rockstar Games or Infinity Ward. And if you do end up deciding to join the video game big leagues, then you\u2019ll certainly need to start somewhere, which is why we\u2019re going to show you 3 of the best FREE<\/em><\/strong> tools you can find on the web to get things going.<\/p>\n

\"Sploder\"<\/p>\n

Sploder<\/h2>\n

No matter what video game genre<\/a> you\u2019re interested in, Sploder<\/a> has a designing platform for that. From Retro Arcade<\/a> and Platformers<\/a> to Physics Puzzles<\/a>, Shooters<\/a> and 3D Adventure<\/a> games, Sploder gives you all the tools you need to build an online video game<\/a> of your choosing.<\/p>\n

The benefit? You won\u2019t need to know any programming languages. You also won\u2019t have to spend hours learning how to use complex software to make a finalized and playable<\/em> video game to share among your friends and other Sploder members. All you need to begin is a Sploder account and a creative imagination \u2013 everything else is at your disposal.<\/p>\n

\"Unreal<\/p>\n

Unreal Engine 4<\/h2>\n

Searching for something a little more complex but ultimately much more rewarding? Then Unreal Engine 4<\/a> will undoubtedly take your video game creation skills to the next level \u2013 and potentially put you on the map as a bona fide video game designer.<\/p>\n

Games such as Fable Legends, Tekken 7, ARK: Survival Evolved and Gears of War 4 were put together using Unreal Engine 4 software, so you know it\u2019s one of the most elite game development tools in the industry. And the best part is it\u2019s FREE<\/strong> to use just by signing up for a download of the software. The only caveat to this is if you end up creating something that makes money, Unreal pockets 5% of the revenue once your game generates more than $3,000 in sales.<\/p>\n

\"Unity<\/p>\n

Unity 3D<\/h2>\n

When it was launched in 2005, Unity 3D<\/a> probably didn\u2019t foresee the gaming community turning them into one of the most sought after multiplatform development companies in the country, since they really didn\u2019t explode in popularity until 2012 with the launch of version 3.5. Yet, Unity 3D’s reputation is largely bolstered by their intuitive interface that suits both beginners and advanced designers alike, as well as their catering to nearly every platform available<\/a> in the gaming sphere.<\/p>\n

Beginners will particularly enjoy the asset store<\/a>, where you can browse through thousands of free and purchasable assets that include extensions, plug-ins, environments and plenty more to make your game designing much, much easier. Advanced game designers, on the other hand, have the ability to implement their own customizations using JavaScript, C# or Boo, that all promise \u201csuper fast compilation times\u201d and hours of gratifying game design geekery.<\/p>\n

While the Personal Edition<\/a> is free to download, there\u2019s also a Professional Edition and Enterprise Solutions Edition<\/a> which offers a tailored setup for company-wide development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
