Do you want to be a game dev?

[Kodie]

I think there's a small contingent of posters in here that develop games or want to develop games. I thought I'd make a thread to discuss that. Here's a video of games from 2013 that were made with GameMaker. Pretty inspiring.

You already know where I'm at with this. And of course, I can't view the vid where I'm @ right now.

I agree Unity is the way. It's such a robust tool and available for everything. I think that as prominent as GameMaker is now for indie games, Unity will replace it and become more prominent.

If you want to program in C/C++, I recommend using SDL: http://libsdl.org/

This is a good tutorial for SDL: http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/index.php


The Global Game Jam is next Friday. You can see if there is one happening in your area here: http://www.globalgamejam.org/2014/jam-sites

I want to do GGJ but it's just not possible for me to do a weekend like that away from wife and son. I'm also kinda game jammed out and want to work on Pro Sewer Polo. We're gonna re-start work on that in earnest around March.
