cschwartz Posted January 28, 2014 With regard to getting started in game development: After getting over coding hurdle and accepting that I'll never be able to to anything above programmers art, I (as a hobbyist) have found the most challenging aspect of game development to actually finish a game and get it out for people to play. To anyone else with this problem, I can thoroughly recommend participating in a game jam. I participated in the second-to-last Ludum Dare and it was great. Not only was it a lot of fun, but I also finally finished a game. Also: First post, thanks for the great show, guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

syntheticgerbil Posted February 2, 2014 Hmmm, if cost of living kind of causes some problems for Campo Santo, might I suggest moving to Austin, Texas? I only say this for selfish motives so that I can possibly work for you guys. I'll work super cheap, even if it's just to fetch coffee and bananas (fuck Doritos).

ihavefivehat Posted February 3, 2014 Processing is a great suggestion! That's what personally worked for me to get into amateur game-making. I came into it from a visual arts perspective, but after a few weeks it suddenly hit me that I had learned to make games by proxy. I've mentioned it on these forums before, and I don't want to sound like a shill, but this book is fantastic and will get you through the basics and onto more advanced stuff in a really clear and friendly way even if you've never programmed before.
