   Getting My Feet Wet
  Well I was wondering  if this site was a good place to get started in game design? Basically I just want to help with making a game in my free time. All I can do is some decent 3d modeling. I know nothing about coding. I am just a high school cad student that wants to take things further. I was just kind of hoping to start picking up on things as I help work on projects. Am I in the right place?

If you stick around, I think you'll find that this place is an excellent resource for game development.Quote:Original post by UnmentionedBasically I just want to help with making a game in my free time. All I can do is some decent 3d modeling. It is good that you can do 3D modeling. You may want to cobble together a small portfolio and show that off in the Help Wanted sub forum. You may be able to find a small team where you can contribute to the effort by providing models. Quote:Original post by UnmentionedI know nothing about coding. I am just a high school cad student that wants to take things further. Do you want to learn coding? Is this an interest of yours? If it is, you owe it to yourself to try to learn more. Even if you want to concentrate on graphical art, some coding knowledge may be useful to enrich yr overall game development knowledge.And even if you do not want to learn programming you can still know that game artists are still very much in demand. Furthermore, there are some who program and also create art assets for games. All I am saying is that you should learn, explore and possibly define yr exact goals. People will be in a better position to give advice if you're more specific.There is also a Breaking In forum here that provides help and advice in regards to breaking into the game development industry. If this is an eventual goal of yrs you may find help there.So basically keep learning and creating. Things will fall into place. Ask more specific questions as they arise. Good luck.   ;  Ah thank you. I am looking at game development as a hobby to try. I am intersted in coding. I figure I would learn code as I helped. I know a little bit of html, but that ain't going to help lol. For me, the best way to learn is to jump right in. I forgot to add this to my first post but finding a small team to join was a main reason for finding this site.
