Getting into the game is a new documentary aimed at kids who play games. Video games. Kids who play videogames and wonder maybe, possibly, perhapsily, if they'd like to make them. Growing up I remember getting those magazines full of strange impenetrable symbols that promised - if you could just type the whole book into your computer, without making any mistakes - you'd get a brand new, completely free game. These days games are everywhere, but they're so damn fancy they can seem impossible to learn how to make.
This documentary will help open the lid, just a crack, to see what lies inside your favourite games. We've brought together people from every corner of the industry - artists, coders, indies, musicians, gamejammers, and developers of every age.
