Welcome to a beginner's guide to creating a complete 2D video game, my name is Pete Jepson and I look forward to showing you how easy it is to make video games.
In this series you will be creating a complete 2D video game using the Stencyl game engine. You will make 6 levels, an end of level boss fight, a main menu, a level select screen and levelaccomplishments.
This course is aimed at beginners who have no experience of game design or coding.
All you need is a computer (PC, Mac or Linux) and an Internet connection. All the software we are using is free. (Note: this software doesn't run on Chromebook unfortunately)
I have been teaching game design for over four years and I will be taking you from beginner to game designer in easy to follow steps with interesting assignments throughout.
You will learn the basics of game logic using visual drag and drop coding, learning things like attributes, events, conditional statements, custom functions and creating a graphical user interface.
By the end of this series you will have the experience and knowledge to design your own games. You will also have a finished 2D video game which is yours to use for free and you can add extra levels and other items to it. You will also have the basic knowledge of coding, allowing you to move onto more challenging game engines such as Unity or Unreal.
