...

Thank you. :D

That won't do, he needs the full 48h MMORPG treatment.

ya this is true, I miss crazy weird games like Vigilante 8 on N64 and Chameleon Twist or whatever it was called.

If I ever sort out my life then I'd be interested in learning Open GL, to do 3d stuff (but without shaders). Seems like many games are made with Unreal or Unity but if I went back to basics I could make some cool time-killer games for free and release the source. Plus, it'd all work on Linux, and if it didn't work on Linux, it wouldn't need to be refunded because it'd be free :D

There are several game engines out there, but the two huge ones right now are Unreal and Unity. If you're worried about losing you math skills coding for one of these engines --don't. They do the heavy lifting, you still have to make things move the way you want them to do so.

I ended up going with learning Unity; it has a large community, tons of developer-oriented assets and has one of the best cross-platform spreads (unless you go with a Web-based engine). But I can only speak of those pros since it's the only one with which I have experience.

If you want to go open source, sign up on Github (BTW, they're owned by Microsoft now), but many other people have put up open source Unity projects.

Word of advice: sort out your life --I'd like to see what time-killer games you create.

I dislike engines because the user interface has so much crap in it. I mean just eff off all I want to do is make a spinning cube :(

If I had a job then I'd buy 3d art assets and use them in something, but I'm no maths wizz at this point in my life.

Time killing games would be awesome because I am personally tired of Steam and Windoze being so bloody slow and requiring constant updates. We shouldn't need heaps of money for games, nor should we accept poor performance just for a leisure activity.

You want him to work in a Chinese sweat shop?

What is this acronym?

That doesn't make sense.
Redacted starts with an 'R'. :P

Not redacted, [BEEP!].

Beep don't start with no 'F', either. Beep start with 'B'!

(In a dialect of English that some people speak, "Beep ain't got no 'f'".)

I know, but the forum rules are there, and I am playing them for comedy. This bit could keep going.

Hello there! lol

I know! I know! ahem: Get the FOOD in here!

I'm 49 and still love gaming. If you're living your life according to arbitrary rules about what is and isn't "proper," have fun with that.

41 here and still gaming like crazy..... because gaming is more fun than doing the dishes. The downside to gaming is that I'm starving from not having clean plates so I can eat.
