How the hell do video games work?

I just don’t understand any of it, I play them all day yet I have no understanding of what it is or how it works. The people that make these things must be the smartest people.

It’s not as hard as you would think. But it does require plenty of skill. The work all depends on the type of game, but in general they aren’t starting from scratch and writing out code per se. They use tools like “unreal engine” and other animating and game design specific tools to craft the characters, settings, animations, dialogues, and unique game mechanics.

Think of it like building a modern house. You’re not starting from scratch. Someone else made your tools and sold them to you. someone else cut the lumber and sold it to you. Someone else mixed the concrete and sold it to you. The final shape is up to you, but the pieces are made by other people to sell to you.
