How To ACTUALLY Start Making Games

In this video, I teach you guys everything you need to start making games and become a game developer. I take you all the way from having never touched a game engine before, to being ready to tackle any project that comes your way. I talk about picking the right game engine for you, what your first game project should be, planning and scoping out projects, as well as sharing a bunch of free and cheap resources to help you with your game dev journey!
