It is truly a childish dream, to want to create video games. So many adolescent boys claim this. They all end up in their mother's basement if they go through with it.
But I'm not this way, and I know it's true. Stories of game development inspire me. They show me how the human psyche operates, how people can look at the same situation differently, and how one problem doesn't necessarily have only one solution - even if you think it does. Video game design takes hard work; a true video game designer must have a strong background in mechanical physics, calculus, programming, and pen-and-paper game design. This is daunting to many, but it excites me.
There are two places on the internet that have helped me to realize this, and I would like to share them with you. Without these channels, I would never have known just what game development might be like on my own, due to the steep learning curve such a field presents.
