I'm not exactly sure what graphic design entails but I like making logos and designing HUDs and making the layout menus and feels of games and such, maybe even game packaging design. Does that count? :C

Isn't Source good to start out with too? I mean I can understand making a game from an easy-to-use engine is good and all for trying to experiment with a full on made-from-scratch game, but maybe we should start smaller? Like just modding Source?

Something that's original, simple, and fun, yet complex enough to do.
An FPS sounds like a good place to start.

Yeah, same. Even coloring gets me sort of frustrated a bit.

I'd do concept art if I could paint well, which I can't.

I agree, your art's pretty damn good, Elizabeth.

I'm Joel and I'm 16.
I've been designing games in my own spare time for 2 years now, and I've been trying to learn low-poly modelling and possibly a coding language. I'm also an artist, but I have not worked with anyone on a game project, nor have I worked by myself on a serious game project. I have not done any serious game story writing other than for one game that I'm still trying to formulate.

I have also dabbled a bit in Renoise, a tracker-style music composing software.
I can post music, art or game concept documents if anyone is interested.

Hi all, I'm Joel, I'm 16 and I'm an aspiring game designer/developer/artist/animator/modeler/music composer. I've been designing games seriously for at least 2 years now. I've got about 5-6 concepts on my mind right now, and one of them was entered into the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards 2012. I got a National Level Silver Medal and got National Recognition. I skipped last year to develop upon my game concept I'm focusing on the most and plan to enter it into this year's competition.

I've been playing games for as long as I can remember, starting with the Super Nintendo, working my way through all of the Nintendo consoles excluding Virtual Boy, both Xbox consoles, and on a PS2 and Dreamcast. Though since 2008 I've been nesting on the PC, but I've been turning back to the good ol' Dreamcast and Gamecube as of late playing through all of the great games I've missed out on. They're my two favorite consoles of all time. uvu I'd like to make games for them both and potentially even for PS2 and Game Boy Advance one day.

I've taken some basic (and I mean basic) game design/development classes at my highschool.
I don't know any sort of coding languages and I've been meaning to learn but it's just too much time to put into learning code for me. I've tried to use Stencyl but it just didn't work out for me.
I've generally tried to use game development environments but they take too much time to dedicate to learn them so I haven't been able to work with any of them effectively.

Hi to all of you other people interested in game development or things related to that sort. ;v;
