Welcome to Game Development Resources!

This is a work-in-progress, constantly evolving repository of tutorials, resources, references, etc. for learning game development, particularly for beginners.

The resources here are all ones that I or something I know have used and learned from. The only things on this website will be what I consider to be quality information or instruction, and leaving out "tutorials" that don't actually teach you anything.

Why did I start this site?

This started as a "personal wiki" project for myself to keep track of the tutorials and resources I found useful as I learned, without having to wade through the hundreds of bad, useless content in order to find them again.

However, I also have friends, family, classmates, etc who are also interested in learning to make games (or a small aspect of them, such as learning 3d modeling). This is the easiest way for me to share useful things that I have found with them, as well as a place for me to add things that they have found to be useful as well.

My hope in making this a public website is that over time others will find it useful, especially beginners who find themselves facing an overwhelming amount of content online and no idea how to sort through all of it. The longer it exists and the more things added to it, the more valuable I believe this site will become to people.

State of the Site and Future Plans

I am sad to say that the current amount of content on this website is actually abysmal, as I've just started it. It might look like there's a lot going on because of all the pages and navigation, but that's mostly so I have the majority of the site's structure set up ahead of time so it's easier to add the actual content in later.

It's like a new sketchbook with blank pages ready to be filled in.

...sort of.

Most of the content that's going to show up in the early days of this website will likely be focused on art (as that is my own personal focus and what I have the most resources for), and some beginner programming and general design resources.

The content on this website will be geared towards either generic 3D game development, or doing things in Unreal Engine specifically. I have another article explaining why this is the case which you can find in the sidebar. Eventually, I would love for this site so include 2D game development and resources for other engines like Unity and Godot, but that will likely be much farther down the road.

This site will also include tutorials and references for various things made by myself to fill in some gaps, further break down complicated aspects of game dev into smaller, easy-to-learn chunks, or just because. I do not believe in gatekeeping knowledge, so if I have figured out how to do a thing, I'm going to do my best to teach you how to do the thing too.

Someday this site might look a little nicer too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
