Have you ever wanted to create your own game? Had an idea for a sports game that combines multiple sports?  What about an RPG about star crossed lovers? Well now is your chance in a new PlayStation exclusive Probe: A Game Dev Experience.  This game puts you in the driver’s seat of your own creation, letting you tailor it to whatever your heart desires.

What to Expect From Probe: A Game Dev Experience

Probe is a game that puts you in control of a game and lets you decide how that game comes together.  To start, you need to work through a game with NPCs.  For example, they will show you how to use nodes to make your main character move and how to place objects in the environment.  As you progress through these steps, you will unlock modules at Voxel School Online.  This allows you to learn more in-depth game development.  While these notes are in Spanish, translations can be found so it’s understandable to non-English speakers.

Why is This Game Important?

Now look, everyone who has played video games at some point has thought about making their own or what goes into it.  The main point of games like this is to let us see if we have the power to create a game. Likewise, it allows us to see a small glimpse into what game developers go through daily (only on a much simpler scale). With PlayStation Exclusive Probe, you are getting to see not just steps taken but also how they handle issues within the game.  How they handle when a bug pops up that might be difficult to fix.  What they do to fix lighting issues.  In short, this is a window into their world.
