Aspiring Game Designer

(1/4) > >>

SuccaMC:
I am very interested in video games and how they are made. I am also very interested in Goldeneye. That game was awesome. Unfortunately i have no experience in game design besides warcraft 3 map editor. So i was wondering if there is a way to somewhat get to know how to design games and join the Goldeneye: Source team.

VC:
Start by getting a C++ IDE (DevCPP, CodeBlocks, even that MS comedy/tragedy stuff) and learn to turn your ideas into code.

Not that coding is game design, but it will give you a feel for how coding works and what's feasible.  Otherwise you'll likely find yourself designing like a Pointy-Haired Boss would.

SuccaMC:
Now where can i found a a C++ thingy, preferably for free.

dlt:
Depends on what you want to do. Do you want to make the models, design the levels, paint the textures or build the engine and gameplay mechanics? All need very different skills.

This should be moved as it's not really an application.

SuccaMC:
Lets go with level design.
