All my life I've loved video games. All my life I've enjoyed them somewhat passively if you will.
Yes, I've interacted with them like anyone else, but I've never really delved further than that.
I often ask myself, why? If you like them so much, why haven't you tried making your own?

Lack of skills?

Lack of patience?

Ignorance about how they're made?

I guess a little bit of everything.

I heard someone mention Pico-8 and how they were getting their nieces and nephews into it. I heard it was a super simple all in one development suite for 8-bit style games, one that even a kid could use!
I was immediately interested. If a kid could do it, surely an idiot adult such as myself could too.

Well, today is the day I start making games. I'm glad to join the community.
