The Endless Mission

The Video Game Machine offers the players a sandbox environment where they can create their own video games and then share them with others via the Internet. Stardock Corporation (the devs of popular Sins of a Solar Empire and Galactic Civilizations strategies) is responsible for its development and publication.

Mechanics

The Video Game Machine enables you to create your own simple video games using ready-made elements - such as character or opponent models, objects and location styles - from developers from Stardock. The game offers a catalog of ready-made items and heroes, among which we can find knights, unicorns, ninja, cats or... vegetables.

The title enables us to make only two-dimensional works. Games developed in The Video Game Machine may belong to one of several classic genres, such as adventure games, shooters, and platformers. The players can design their own levels, write dialogs and define various game rules - we decide the number of enemies, their behavior and camera modes.

We can play the game we create at any time to test some solutions, or just to have fun.

Game modes

The Video Game Machine is not a game in the traditional sense of the word, as it does not offer single or multiplayer modes. The creation process takes place on a single computer, but Stardock's game also offers limited online functionality that enables you to share your work with others.

Technical aspects

The Video Game Machine features clear interface, and the projects made in the game have two-dimensional visuals that evoke associations with the titles from the 80s and 90s of the last century. The artistic style is full of expressive colors and is characterized by relative simplicity.
