5 Free Apps for Video Game Creators (Who Can’t Program)

Is it possible to create a video game without previous knowledge of programming? Video games are not limited to one discipline: they need illustration, narrative, design, 3D modeling, and, of course, programming. If you want to create your own interactive game, you may well find it a complex and daunting task. There are often two main obstacles: the price of certain development programs and a lack of programming knowledge. Fortunately, there are a number of free programs that can help you enter this world with, believe it or not, no prior knowledge of programming. We present you the following list of 5 video game design apps of different complexity so that you can find the one that best suits your level and needs. 1. Quest A good story is the basis of many video games, so perhaps you should start with the basics. If you are a fan of complex and flexible narratives but have never had to design an interactive story, Quest will allow you to develop text-based games in the style of the legendary Zork (1977). You won't need any programming, design, or illustration skills for this kind of "Choose Your Own Adventure” game and you will exercise your brain to start thinking like a narrative designer.

Free Download: Perspective Guide for Urban Sketching

Download Lapin's perspective guide to add soul and personality to your urban sketches One of the advantages of urban sketching is that it allows us to represent the reality of a city, but from our own perspective. Unlike what we would achieve with a camera, we have the possibility of instilling soul by adding details that would otherwise go unnoticed. In this case, perspective also plays in our favor: we can create a realistic illustration that fits everything we see including angles a camera could never capture.

Free Download: Guide for Drawing Head and Body Proportions

Learn how to draw a human head and body using the correct proportions Although the human body is probably the figure we know best, many of us would find it difficult to correctly draw its proportions from memory. The length of the arms, the width of the shoulders and hips, where the wrists hit the body... and the same goes for the head and face. The relationship between all these body parts, which we have seen so many times, becomes a little less obvious when we sit in front of a blank piece of paper with a pencil in hand. This guide to anatomical proportions, shared with Domestika by Brazilian comic artist and illustrator Marcio Takara (@marciotakara), will help make the task of drawing people much easier.
