  • stencyl-engine

    Create Flash, HTML5, iOS, Android, and desktop games with no code with Stencyl. This is the source to Stencyl's Haxe-based engine.

  • If you're not the sociable type (you'll have to work on that because game making is first and foremost team work, but I understand it might be hard if you feel like you're not skilled enough), a lot of solutions exist to easily make your own games on your own, like Stencyl, or Adventure Game Studio. They'll barely require any technical knowledge, but if you really want to focus on writing, then you can even go with text-only tools such as Twine or Ink/Inky.

  • ink

    inkle's open source scripting language for writing interactive narrative. (by inkle)
