GarageGames has been around since 2000 making tools for professional developers. But starting today, it is taking its goal of democratizing game making a step further. It advances the do-it-yourself dream: if anyone can make movies or music, then why not games?
The company is launching a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to raise $500,000 for its do-it-yourself software suite, dubbed 3 Step Studio.
Anyone could use 3 Step Studio to build games for the iPhone, iPad, Windows, or Mac. No programming skills are required for what GarageGames has in mind. If this sounds familiar, that’s because it competes directly with Heavy Water’s Kickstarter project, started yesterday, to make the Axis Game Factory for amateur creators who want to build 3D game worlds. Clearly, a trend to release tools that allow just about anybody to create his own game masterpiece has begun.
