⚠ This content is old and may no longer be correct or relevant!

A lot of the feedback we’ve had recently has been around the “writers’ block” problem — loading into an empty world is great if you know what it is you want to make, but if you aren’t entirely sure and just want to tinker until something falls out it’s really useful to have something to hack at.

We’ve therefore created not only some brand new Tutorials, but also Starter games (skeletons of games containing basic mechanics), and Examples of complete games made using the Starter content — the idea is that by the time you’ve completed the current 5 Tutorials, you should be well equipped to turn the Starters into games the same level of quality as our Examples.

These are all wrapped up in our new “Create Game” flow, designed to give you a bit more information, making it easier to figure out where to start!

For the full, up to date, list of content you’re best off logging into Crayta and checking it out yourself, but currently we have 5 Tutorials (covering topics from your first steps in Crayta’s basic mode through to complex use of Templates), 11 Starters (single-player experiences, PvP, races, etc.), and 9 Examples (showing off a wide variety of different asset packs we’ve created so far).

We put together a brief video showing some of the Examples, check it out if you need some inspiration!

Or, if you want to dive straight in but don’t yet have access to Crayta, hop on into our Discord server and we can sort you out with a key — https://discord.gg/ADpXRh8

Looking forward to seeing what you create! :D
