Get Ready for Game Development
In this short introduction, you’ll get what I call a 30,000-foot game development flyover. This flyover isn’t really about the tools you need to develop your game. To be honest, this flyover isn’t really about game development at all. Instead, it covers game design and the steps you need to take before you write your first line of code—and it all starts with an idea.
