How do you make a video game?

[Anonymous]

Can you explain in detail how to make/create a video game?

You need a game engine, which is the foundation your game works on. You can either program one yourself (really complicated) or use an existing one like, Unreal, Unity, Gamemaker, Godot, RPG Maker, ...

In this gameengine you write code which handles events like button input, gravity, movement speed, load and save, highscore, lives...

Than you can assign assets 3D models or 2D Sprites to these events like the playable charakter, enemies, hud, powerups, which the player can see.

With these assets you build levels, menus, rooms...

And than connect all these together.

You learn to code, C#, C++, Python, you learn how to use various engines. Learn Java, Lua and others. Learn to story board the game out.
pick a decent repository, find someone to do QA, find someone to game test (a bunch of stuff), or go to University and do a Games degree.
