Welcome to my new blog, Game Dev Overload!
Sometimes it can be daunting to tackle game development. I remember when I first started school for Game Design, I felt lost and confused about how it is done with only my passion for games driving me onward. Eventually, I got sick of waiting for the programmers at my school, so I decided to learn programming for myself and make my first game. After being thoroughly dazed and overwhelmed by the sheer amount of knowledge that was out there, I settled on trying my hand at Flash. But even that was difficult. I would not have been able to do it without the help of a friend who hand held me through the beginning stages of Flash and showed me a ton of resources, so in return I’d like to offer this blog as a sort of tool for other aspiring and current game developers. The content will be programmer-heavy, but most indie game developers are programmers anyway (or at least work closely with one). I plan to use this blog to centralize a whole slew of game development resources for both my own and anyone else’s convenience. I will also be posting reviews of some great games I’ve played as anyone who makes games should also be playing lots of games.
Anyway, I hope you find my blog informative and helpful. Enjoy!
