Hello, i want to create my own ps2 game just for fun.

I know javascript-still learning it.

What do i need to make a ps2 game(software,skills, etc.)

Thanks

P.S i want to make it 2d (i have a lot to study and dont have enough time to make it 3d)

PS2 Development has quite the "homebrew" scene if you know where to look. This is likely due to the insane success of the console back in it's more nimble years. I found a site that seems to take you through the basics of setting up your development environment, loading textures, 2d animation, etc.

A word of caution, console development, especially, early console development, is usually quite low-level. It's not uncommon for C to be the primary language, and to be inter-mixed with assembly (Not sure for the PS2). While already knowing a programming language will most certainly help, Javascript won't be the language you'll be leveraging on the platform.

However, I'm a firm believer that if you truly want to do something, difficulty can be a cliff note to a foregone conclusion, and in such case, Good Luck!
