Game Builder Garage 

 

As I got some free time here and there I decided to check out Game Builder Garage. I did not live stream this game at all. I am actually glad I did not live stream Game Builder Garage since the controls were mainly touch screen. I am not sure how that would have worked if I played Game Builder Garage while it was docked. There are Interactive Lessons and Free Programming in Game Builder Garage.

Families will need to take some of the tutorial before playing the Free Programming in Game Builder Garage. I believe there was an option early on to skip but I still had to get through some of the tutorial before Free Programming appeared. We place Nodons in Game Builder Garage. These are objects that can be all kinds of things. For example we can put a player in the level, and platforms for the player to interact with.

Game Builder Garage looks decent and sounds okay. Game Builder Garage does not contain the best graphics on the planet. They are crisp and clean though. Game Builder Garage will let us change the colors of objects and make them destructible or not. There are puzzles players can learn from in Game Builder Garage. I figured out some and got stuck on others while playing Game Builder Garage.

Game Builder Garage is learning software to teach you how to create your own little video game. I had some fun with Game Builder Garage. I learned the more you put into Game Builder Garage the more you will understand the concepts. There are plenty of great video game programming concepts put into Game Builder Garage. The good news is the programming is done for us. There are menus in Game Builder Garage that remind me of Visual Basic. Game Builder Garage is simplified even beyond that.

The sounds are fun and at times the tutorials can be slow. I figured out where certain lessons were going but had to get through a lot of text as Game Builder Garage explained things to me. Families can make all kinds of interesting little games thanks to Game Builder Garage. If you have a child interested in creating video games I suggest seeing how they handle Game Builder Garage.
