Gamestar Mechanic is grant-funded, and produced through public-private partnerships with E-Line Media and the Institute of Play. The game is geared toward 7-14 year olds and takes players through a series of units designed around the themes of playing to learn, designing to apply, and sharing games created through Gamestar Mechanic in the online community to continue growing into future game designers. Despite the game being geared toward children in late elementary school through middle school, the Gamestar Mechanic experience can be a fun, engaging way for anyone to play and learn about game design. Through the gameplay experience you will get the chance to mod levels in the game and create games of your own.
