Dear World, The gaming industry is one of the fastest growing in the world so why not get your students involved in the production of their own games using these free tools. There are quite a few free video game making software programs available on the Internet. These titles range in complexity from very easy to quite complex. This range of software means you can have very young students creating their own video games as well as high school students. I've listed below a variety of free software that can make 3d worlds, platformers, virtual pinball machines, retro games and even First Person Shooters. Have fun! |
