Default How can I get into game design coming from a C and Java background? - 05-28-2009, 03:33 AM

I have complete some C and Java programming and now I am interested in graphics and game design. What do I need to do in order to pursue this further? If any one can share any information regarding this with me it would be appreciated.

first thing: learn to live on pizza and cola while not needing more than 2 hours worth of sleep in every 24.
second thing: learn to create spiffy graphics in Photoshop
third thing: learn to create catchy documents detailing your plans that will wow the venture capitalists

There are books on the subjects of graphics and game design. One I have on my bookshelf is "Killer Game Programming in Java" by Andrew Davison. You can Google for other books.

If you have some game ideas, you could try and develop them. You can get 80% of the way with 20% of the effort, which is useful for trying game ideas.
