Our first game recipe video has just been released! In case you missed our past announcements, lately we've been working on a new video series where we're making video renditions of our existing game recipes. You can watch the first one on our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Bk-JiBPK0M

This is something new we're doing so we appreciate any feedback you have on it!





Easy Game Creator is a derivation of 001 Game Creator which allows anyone with a mouse and keyboard to easily create a video game to share with friends and family. This project was primarily handled by our team of beta testers and template creators using 001 Game Creator. It has uncovered countless bugs and issues with 001 throughout it's development and will serve as a means to further improve 001 in the years to come!

Choose the Easy Game Creator and make some of the most memorable memories for you and your loved ones!

We are using Early Access to better understand which customization options we need to prioritize first, as current customization options are fairly limited. We will also be utilizing community feedback to help prioritize which features and customization options matter the most to our users!

If you have ideas on what you want to see in Easy Game Creator please send your feedback here:
https://easygamecreator.com/contact/
We would love to hear about the themes, gameplay and anything else that's important to you. Feel free to include written ideas, screenshots or even gameplay prototypes! We greatly appreciate any and all feedback you have.



Easy Game Creator is not where we'll be stopping. Even bigger similar projects are being worked on in the background. We are very much looking forward to the day that we'll finally be able to officially announce them; but for the time being, we've created a roadmap to give you a small idea of what you can expect in the near and far future regarding our projects: https://001gamecreator.com/faq/#roadmap



We can't thank you enough for having made all of this possible. From our Patreon members, to our translators, and the entire community as a whole!

We are extremely excited to announce that a project we released last year is finally making its way on Steam! Easy Game Creator, is a derivation of 001 Game Creator which allows anyone with a mouse and keyboard to create a video game to share with friends and family.

What makes it different from other game engines is its ability to produce a complete game from a set of given templates in MINUTES! That's right, minutes! All the user has to do is pick a template, fill out a short questionnaire, then the game has been made for you! Games are easily shareable with anyone to play on any device via a private link.

Please keep in mind that each purchase of Easy Game Creator comes with 2 export licenses for a game. After they are used up, you will have to repurchase the software in order to be able to export again.
