In this meetup presentation, we cover the journey of creating an RPG game with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. We package up the project with Electron to release on platforms like Steam. My friends and I didn't know anything about game development when we started this project, but we quickly learned that our front end development skills were very useful in the process.
I hope the topics in this video encourage you to get started with making your own JavaScript game today!
