Important Stuff

As a gamedev there are many things you can forget... but there are some you cant!

  • Physics: They´re present everywhere in games... so at least knowing the basics always helps!
  • Finish him!!! : As my programmer mate says: Every time you start something... it doesn´t really matter how long it takes.. finish it! (Here's something he did! check it out its pretty cool! KICK ASS APP! )
  • Practice makes perfect:  Am taking this one from cliffyB, he said that you need practice making games, of course at the beggining you´ll get mostly shit, but after a lot of practice, we can start getting pretty good stuff.
  • Network: Never forget, this industry started as a community of people that wanted to do something different, "hackers" that wanted to take computers to their "full potential". We are still that community, and as a starting gamedev you should never lose the chance to make new friends!
  • Lonely wolf? : You are not alone! Building a team will teach you a lot, from leadership to how to handle a game as many parts that come together.
  • Have fun! Because you are actually doing what you dream of doing, I know I am!
That´s is it for now! Back to programming hehe
