Being a kid making games in the early 2000s
Game developer Jay Tholen has written a personal essay recalling what it was like to make games as a kid in the early 2000s, sharing the DIY tools, forums and trial-and-error of that era of hobbyist game development. Readers are reminiscing about their own early experiences learning to code and build games before modern engines and tutorials existed.
Why now: Nostalgia for early-2000s hobbyist game development resonates with developers who grew up in that era.
