Have you always wanted to make your own computer game? With the resources available today it has never been easier!

INTRODUCTION by Craig MORRISON

I'm a veteran game designer who has always had a soft spot for helping others make their way in game design.

I started teaching Game Design a few years ago as a side project (I lecture at the University of California here in Irvine, California as part of their Computer Game Science program). In doing so I'm often exposed to the question 'How do I get into Game Design?' or other questions about starting out in the industry. Over the years of answering that question many hundreds, if not thousands of times, I started to compile helpful links and advice on my personal blog.

Now, as more people have reached out and asked, and I collect more links, I have decided to create this site. The intention is that it is a simple, one-stop, shop for some sound advice for starting out making games. It's just a way to help you explore whether you want to try making games for a living.

It is not intended as any kind of a commercial venture, or training program. It's just some advice, and a collection of helpful links to materials that already exist, scattered across the winds of the wonderful world wide web.

It's honestly never been easier to start making games, and this site is just designed to help nudge you in the right direction!
