- Starting out your game dev journey has never been easier. With the sheer amount of tools available today and all of the amazing communities online, it's just up to you to pick-and-choose your path.
Do you love a certain game? You might be able to mod it. If you can’t, you can still pick from a vast list of free game engines and try to remake the game. If you feel even more adventurous, you can even try to create a completely new fan game as an homage to those games you love. In this video, we're taking a look at some amazing stories of games that started as mods, remakes, and fan-made games.
UPDATE: Thank you to all the commenters who pointed out the typo in the original upload!

Update: Thank you again to everyone who pointed out the typo in the original upload! This new version has it fixed. While the original video had the correct voiceover for the acronym MOBA, the graphic was incorrect.
I did one of my Master's papers on the cyclical nature of games inspiring mods that inspire games that inspire mods and so on. Feel free to check it out if you're interested in the history from Ms. Pac-Man to auto-battlers.
It is called "It's Mods All The Way Down" and can be found for free online. It is like 30 pages and very academic though, so probably not for everyone. Also, they miss some stuff in this video like Neichus's reign on DotA-Allstars and other stuff. I've interviewed lots of the devs who worked on DotA and there are so many untold stories...
I also do want to update it with some more auto-battler stuff and probably stuff on Magical Survival and Vampire Survivors too possibly. We'll see though since it was a lot of work already.
@@StefanLopuszanski Link?
@@3333218 : CZcams eats links to a lot of places. Just search for it by name and you'll find it. Might have to add my name too at most.
@@StefanLopuszanski Will do! What course were you taking a master?
@@3333218 : My Master's was in Digital Media and Design at UConn. My thesis work was on physical-digital hybrid tabletop games using NFC/RFID technology. Plus, I studied the rise of the auto-battler genre.
I don't know how, but like half a year ago I searched what games were made with MonoGame and I saw your new video. And now I searched games that were made as mods and you again have new video on that.
RPG Maker and other Game Editing Software is what i love, i dont know how to code and these editing engines have the potential to teach me how to code while making Mods and Fangames about stuff that i love about Video Games.
This is a very impressive list of devs that took it to another level. I didn't know about Black Mesa will definitely check it out. Keep it up! :)
Black Mesa is one of the best games I‘ve ever played. Also the soundtrack is gorgeous. The moment I reached Xen the first time and then the soundtrack starting, I had goosebumps. 100% recommended!
i was big time late to half life and played black mesa before HL:1 but i do definitely plan to play the original at some point
That Black Mesa... Looks intriguing!!! :O
I loved your video! I’m thinking of using source to make a HL2 mod myself!
The video editing on this video is just awesome, good content brother keep it up.
One mention I would like add. For The Binding of Isaac Rebirth, I group of modders decided to make an expansion, the game had have two DLCs already by 2016 (Afterbirth and Afterbirth+) but at the end of that year they released what was known as "Antibirth", a full expansion mod pack which not only was praised over other mods but also said to be better than the Afterbirth+ expansion. Finally, last year The Binding of Isaac Repentance was released, new content, balancing, and including the whole content from Antibirth, making it officially into the game.
One of the best games I played when I was a kid, Undertale who started as an earthbound mod
Hey there,
I am having this question since I started the development of a game, which now is very close to being completed and released. My question is about copyrighting. Do I have to copyright all the characters in our game including the protagonist and the villains?
I searched about this a lot on many websites. Some said that this process of copyrighting is done automatically when the game is released. Some said that I just need to put a copyright/trademark sign. Some said that I have to register somewhere to get my characters copyrighted.
But none of these answers seemed promising. Can you tell me the actual process of copyrighting? I would very much appreciate a reply. Thanks!
Warcraft 3 World Editor made me to the industry
God I miss when Indie wasnt so competitive haha. Great game != Good sales
You forgot Dayz, which became a standalone after being made as a mod for arma 2
Why the re-upload?
Interesting
Buckle Up Game Devs - there is hope!
Where is counterstrike?
Zenimax was not so cleaver
What about PUBG ?
Thanks for the suggestion! We'll make sure to add PUBG in a future installment of this series.
@@AskGamedev And don't forget DayZ!
if Nintendo Saw this the would flip their sh*t
Dota is the best mod game of all time
Garry's mod?
We'll make sure to include it in a future video - thanks!
That's some BS! Street Fighter X Megaman is an unsafe download!!!
And that is why?
Why the re-upload?
Thanks for asking! There was a typo in the original upload that we wanted to fix :)
