Outside of the game development team during the game's creation, many tools would have little facility. Level editors, however, once entirely proprietary, have increasingly been included with the shipping game to allow users to create their own game scenarios. Some games, such as [[Firaxis]]' ''[[Civilization IV]]'', are built with user [[Mod (computer gaming)|modification]] in mind and include numerous tools for game customizing.

As the popularity of game development increases among the general population, more user-friendly development tools have similarly increased in popularity. Software kits like [[Unreal Development Kit|UDK]] and [[Unity (game engine)|Unity 3D]] for 3D games and [[Stencyl]] for 2D games are specifically geared toward independent or non-professional game developers. Unlike the internal tools mentioned above, which can be difficult for an outsider to learn, these kits are primarily commercial products and thus have a strong emphasis on usability.
