What are games?

Games are more than just fun — they’re made up of lots of different parts that all work together.

In this section, you’ll learn about:

  • Game titles – how to name a game so people remember it

  • Genres – the type of game it is, like action or puzzle

  • Themes – what the game is about or what the player will do

  • Target audience – who the game is made for

  • Developers – the people who create the game

  • Publishers – the people who help fund and promote the game

Each part helps shape how a game looks, feels, and plays.
