But I’ve never made a game before!
That’s okay, it’s easy there are resources below to get you started! You can also participate in a team as long as you are interested in:
• coding/game development (to write the code for the game using the provided software below or a software of your choosing)
• art/design (to choose the visual design of the game)
• marine sciences (to create the story of the game)
• marketing/video production (to help create a trailer and other marketing material for the game)
If you are not up to speed with games development do not worry, there are several programs you can use to create a game without using a lot of code. Here are a few good examples:
All of these applications are free to try and have tutorials available on their sites.
