I've decided that it's finally time to contribute something else useful to humanity.

My other video still covers some things that I didn't get a chance to address here, but I feel like I've done a better job explaining things in this video (I recommend watching both).

If you're still stuck, personal message me, and I'll personally see to it that you're pointed in the right direction.

If you enjoyed this, check out "The Adventures in Game Development" series.

The "XxStillAVirgin69xX" segment is dedicated to the surprisingly large amount of people who actually liked my nerd persona in the last video.

One thing, im wery good in 3d desighn and graphicks... do i need to be a programer

to do graphicks for a game?

[GyroVorbis]

@pecololek Luckily, no. You don't necessarily need to be a programmer to be an artist and vice versa (I can't draw for shit). It definitely helps, but it's not a requirement.

Boob Physicist. Yes.

Hello. I would need someone to develope a simulation of fire in for example office and its extinguishment. The simulation should be compatible with Microsoft Kinect. The idea is to show employees how to use fire extinguisher and how does the fire develope in office. Offers for such simulation can be sent to my email elvin.besirevic@gmail.com.

@GyroVorbis i'm primarily into design. Combat and Enemy design. Tips?

[MrShyguy0]

Gyro, when you were describing how implementing the text box system was a PITA, I was thinking how I'd implement it with DirectX. Does that make me weird?
