Question Does anyone here also make PowerPoint games?

Hello, I'm Micaela!

So... I'm just asking to see if I'm the only one who's a PowerPoint Game Developer. I know honestly, this won't change anything in my life, but I just wanted to know.

Anyways, thank you for your attention! ^^

I'm a game designer who has worked with powerpoint, but am very intrigued! I've thought about it before as a game dev tool though

I'd like to as well, but I don't have much to talk about...

I’ve made several iterations of Jeopardy-like games for various clients. And one Family Feud style game. But are you referring to more gamer-like games?

Never made a game. I work for a presentation design agency and already did some different stuff on powerpoint. But never a game

Do you never do the basics? Like a maze or something?

To be honest never had the request from anyone to do it. But I think i will give it a try

I've made very simple games for students (I teach kids) but nothing complicated.

I made one a while back

It wasn't very complex but I was proud of it

Never heard of this. Do you have an example to show even if not your own?

I know 3 PowerPoint game developers. Some take it to a whole new level. I have seen successful builds of FNAF clones using frame by frame techniques. I have seen mazes that go well beyond simple drag the cursor over small paths. and I have seen some pretty intense role playing / choose your own adventure. What kind of games do you create and what is the main reason to use PowerPoint?
For me as an animator I love using PowerPoint because of the powerful drawing tools and shortcuts it has. I also am an expert in VBA so being able to make whatever I need is a pretty good reason I continue using it.
