History VideoGame / GameBuilderGarage

Creator/{{Nintendo}} developed an interest in developing software that centered around building and development around the late end of TheNewTens with the development and release of ''VideoGame/NintendoLabo''. One of the features of those four kits was a mode called the "Toy-Con Garage", a GameMaker studio with a built-in visual UsefulNotes/ProgrammingLanguage which effectively allowed for the creation of ''entire video games'' but was very complex and intricate, making it difficult for amateur players to use.

First announced on May 5, 2021 and released on June 11, 2021, ''Game Builder Garage'' is effectively a standalone counterpart to ''Labo''[='s=] Toy-Con Garage, but with a vast suite of tutorials included to explain how to use the software to develop video games. The first trailer for the video game showed gameplay of a simple platformer as well as a space shooter but hinted that games of effectively every genre can be made. The software also includes a sharing feature to share games online. The game has support for all controllers and their features along with support for a USB mouse and keyboard.

* VocalDissonance: Bob's voice is noticeably high pitched and energetic.

* GuideDangIt: The seven tutorials and Alice's Guide don't elaborate or use every single Nodon in the game- only those used to construct the seven example games. One particular example is the Marker and Bullseye Nodon, which get virtually no focus in any of the example games and have extremely vague descriptions in the Nodonpedia.

* CuttingTheKnot: Extra Checkpoint 41, "Ten-Second Challenge", requires the player to [[spoiler: set up a timer so that the Person auto-punches when Y is held down]] in order to make their way through the barrage of Boxes and reach the Apple at the end of the level. However, if the player [[ButtonMashing button-mashes]] fast enough, it is possible to get to the end within the 10 seconds without making any modifications to the game.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To the ''VideoGame/NintendoLabo'' garage.

Furthermore, several objects from the ''Labo'' games appear as Fancy Objects.
