So today I was with my I guess 9-10yo cousin. He was playing clash of clans.
I told him, “you can also make this type of games”.
After this he was stared at me for like 25-30sec his face expression was awesome. Then said “seriously? I thought games are developed on a certain place where all the games are made.”
I said “no anyone can create games if you know how to code and all.”

After that multiple questions was on the way and I answered all for him.

But he totally amazed with this knowledge. And I felt good to.

    I'd also tell him about how much work goes into it. Not easy.

    I did the same thing with my cousin. But uh..

    I don't think I did it right. I didn't build the hype in him and he didn't ask questions.

    He's in kindergarten

    @SpaceBearOne it's better with unity, they can see earlier results and don't need to code so much. I created two mini game developers in this way

    While my first inclination is “great job!” we must consider the pain and suffering and otherwise that comes along the developers journey.

    GameMaker studio is used to make 2d games, and you can use code or drag and drop.
    There are also easy to follow tutorials on their website (www.yoyogames.com).
