Make a Game Yourself

Your adventure starts in the most ordinary home. Populated by your parents, siblings, and you, the household runs on a monotone daily routine of work, play, and rest. Its residents live in harmony–for the most part. You’ve never really reached an agreement with your folks on the topic of video games. In your world where the gaming market is only interested in zombie shooting and adult-themed violence, the idea that a video game can be fun for everyone sounds ridiculous. Your parents don’t want their children anywhere near such atrocities. One day, they decide that they’ve had enough. Your beloved Xbox, forcefully dragged away from the warmth of your living room, lays helplessly on your front lawn. The blood-stained blades of the gas-powered chainsaw in your father’s hands ruthlessly approach the precious device of your pride and joy.

The agony from deep within your soul bursts out a desperate plea. There has to be something you can do to stop this madness. You declare that, from this point on, you will speak with action rather than words. You will prove to your family that video games can be appropriate and engaging entertainment for anyone in the family. But such a game is nowhere to be found–demand for such games died out centuries ago, and so did the companies that used to make them. Looks like you’ll have to find your way through this ancient art and make a family-friendly video game yourself to save your love from cruel murder. 

You'll first need to choose what type of game you want to make. What will it be?
