This is the Wordpress for Making Games

Wordpress is an amazing tool. It has revolutionized web creation, making it accessible to millions. Through a combination of ease of use and ready-made themes and plugins, Wordpress has simplified the creation of websites, blogs and news sites. But what if you want to make a video game? Is there a tool that is as easy to use for making video games, as Wordpress is for web creation? Yes! This free no-code app is the Wordpress for making games.

What Makes GDevelop the Wordpress for Making Games

Themes = Templates

One of the things that make Wordpress great is that you don't need to start your web design project from scratch. A blank page can be extremely intimidating, specially if you're just starting out creating something.

Wordpress themes make it easy, even for novices, to start a new project. GDevelop works in a similar way, and it has hundreds of starter templates and projects you can use as a starting point for your new game.

In GDevelop, there are over 200 templates and projects, most of which are free. This allows you to choose a starting point and modify a template to your liking.

GDevelop has tons of starter templates and projects.

And if you want to sell your game, that's not a problem. GDevelop templates come with a license that allow you to use them for commercial games!

Did I mention most are free?

Visual Editor = Visual Editor

Both Wordpress and GDevelop are extremely easy to use. Wordpress allows people from all walks of life to make great websites easily. Similarly, GDevelop makes it easy for anyone to make games.

In fact, GDevelop has been used in classrooms with children as young as 9 years old!

Both tools provide visual editors that remove the need for the user (you!) to manually code. You can simply edit a page with an intuitive system, and away you go.

In the case of GDevelop, this is called the Event System, which relies on simple Event Sheets with "if this happens, then do this" logic.

GDevelop's intuitive event system.

Plugins = Extensions

One of my favorite things as a Wordpress user are the plugins. If I need to add custom functionality to my website, such as an ad manager or payment processor, there's a plugin for that.

Similarly, in GDevelop there are many Extensions to make common jobs easier. You don't need to create the logic for a platformer character, for example. You simply add the Platformer behavior to an object, and away you go.

GDevelop Extensions are similar to Wordpress Plugins.

There are thousands of extensions to suit almost every need, so start your project and explore the near-endless opportunities!

Free = Free

I'm a Wordpress user, and one of the things I like the most is just how much you can do for free. You can self-host Wordpress on your server, there are tons of free themes, plugins and more. Both GDevelop and Wordpress are open source as well! You can check the Wordpress source code here, and the GDevelop source code here.

GDevelop also has free accounts, and they are nearly limitless in their capabilities! You can totally start making your game, and even make a game from start to finish, with a free account.

You can even export your game to Windows, Linux, Mac and Android, as well as the web, for free.

Need More Functionality? Premium = Premium

With Wordpress, you also have the option to pay for more themes, premium plugins, and even host your Wordpress site on servers managed by Wordpress themselves!

GDevelop also has Premium subscriptions, and they come tailored to every need.

All of them come with full access to our iOS and Android apps, which allow you to continue making games on the go!

If you're a single power user, the Individual Premium subscriptions give you cross-device project synchronization, more daily builds, more cloud backups, and a long list of other benefits.

There's a GDevelop Premium subscription to fit every need.

If you're an agency, we have Business subscriptions that allow you to create a game collaborately!

And if you're an Educator, we have extremely accessible Educational subscriptions that give you full student anonymity, project overview and other features developed based on feedback from teachers just like you!

Community and Tutorials

Both Wordpress and GDevelop have extensive tutorials to make it easy for new users to get used to the app. Wordpress has the Learm Faster to Grow Faster section on their website, and GDevelop has the GDevelop Academy.

The GDevelop Academy has all the tutorials you need to get started.

There's also our YouTube channel, which releases new videos all the time, and the GDevelop documentation, which is full of useful, in-depth information about each function within the app.
