Everyone in this world at least has one hobby to fill their me time or to chase the boredom away. For some people playing games is just a hobby, be it to play the game on phone, tablet, or computer.

Furthermore, there are people who start to play game as a hobby but fall in love with it and change to learn how to become a game developer.

1. Idea and creativity

If you want something you have to take some actions to achieve it. Therefore, for you who want to develop a game here is the first step you need to take.

Gather all your ideas and note them. Start to imagine what kind of game you want to make, what characters will be in it, what genre is your game, what kind of background story or event that start your game, etc. But, you still need to pay attention to your skill and budget you have or willing to spend.

2. Software

To develop a game, you need a special software called a game engine. Therefore, after you list all the things from the first step into a single compact idea, you need to choose your game engine . There are many types of game engine out there with their respective pro & cons.

Therefore, you need to research, compare, and consider the compatibility of your chosen game engine with the game you want to make.

3. Language

After you found the perfect game engine for your game you need to step up your effort a bit by studying. To make a game and use the engine you need to learn a new language. A programming language like HTML5 is needed for you to operate melonJS. So, work your brain and learn as much as you can and try to get used to applying it.
