  • I know these videos are old, but I'd like to take some time to thank you. I've dropped in and out of the programming world for several years now. I used to code in DS for a silly Furcadia game when I was a kid. After becoming a Linux user I started scripting day and night. Over the past year I've become interested in making games. I've never followed a project all the way through. You've made me take second look at what I'm doing. I think I'll finish my old projects before I start a new one.

  • @JinxXiWolf Holy SHIT! We got started here with DragonSpeak on Furcadia when we were like 10 and 11!

  • its sad how the views went down by like 80,000 ... I guess 1/4 of us still have hopes and are at least TRYING to learn so we can get motivated and knowledge to become game designers ourselves :P

  • Hey, thanks for taking the time for these videos. Having read "start small/simple" a million times on various forums (fora?) , it somehow feels better to hear it from someone who's been there and wholeheartedly recommends it... Very down-to-earth advice, many thanks again :)

  • How did you get published? What advertising methods did you use?

  • well thanks, its a start

  • sorry for asking this but can you tell me what game(s) you guys have made and what is your team called

  • your videos are ace makes computer game programming even more appealing for me. Thats cool you got a team together, did you find that you learnt to make games faster from other members of team alongside your own skills? I love games programming, i do it as a hobby alongside my dullass job!

  • A friend dumped C++ 24 hours, 3d game programming with C++, maya 2

    computer game programming with directX 8.0 and a few others on my lap to help me get my start in Programming in C++. i've been using C++ for dummies since December 2008, and for the life of me I couldn't understand why I didn't get any where, but then a friend who is neck deep in game development, gave me his books, and even though they're old, I'm studying sams 24 hours day after day, C++ for dummies is a bad book, don't buy

  • Hmm, it really depends on the project. Game Design on a small game you can have an entire design dock done, mabey not code wise. But on what you're working on Elysian Shadows, you'll probably be using a more progressive style on design, where design change when it needs to along side while developing the code.

  • I learned a lot...

    Thanks.
