I’ve decided that it’s finally time to contribute something else useful to humanity.
My other video still covers some things that I didn’t get a chance to address here, but I feel like I’ve done a better job explaining things in this video (I recommend watching both).
If you’re still stuck, message me, and I’ll personally see to it that you’re pointed in the right direction.
If you enjoyed this, check out “The Adventures in Game Development” series.
The “XxStillAVirgin69xX” segment is dedicated to the surprisingly large amount of people who actually liked my nerd persona in the last video.

Computer Games Design Brief Pitching Video Example
Jasmine and I had to spend a few weeks looking at a historical game played more than about 50-100 years back,and do a historical video game.
This is the pitching video we showed at the presentation,it isn’t flashy or brilliant,but it got the job done and got accross a simple vision of what we would have done if a publisher approved us and got development going etc.
The project was just to illustrate an idea on screen,it wasn’t meant to be finished.
I made the level in the Unreal Development Kit (Unreal Engine 3),textures and assets are from Unreal Tournament 3 (Copyright belongs to Epic Games).
I only used the UT3 assets to show off quickly what our game would *Sort of* look like.

My Game Development Evolution – Pickin’ Sticks to an RPG
Just kind of an infoey video. I always tell people to start out small and build up from there. As an example, here’s sort of a timeline of games I’ve made over the past 9ish years.
Oh, and incase you’re wondering what I use:
* Before age 12 – PowerBasic, mainly made Mad Libs
* Ages 12 through 14 – Visual Basic, made crappy VB adventure games
* 14 – Began learning C++
* 16 – Began learning Allegro, so all games used this for a while.
* 19 – Began learning some OpenGL and SDL, but as of right now haven’t really released anything made with SDL (Except Shattered Wrath), and haven’t completed anything with OpenGL.
Tools:
C++ w/ Code::Blocks IDE
Allegro, SDL, OpenGL, Lua
Sprite graphics: Paint Shop Pro 6
Other drawn stuff: GIMP
Sounds:
Audacity, SFXR, my Yamaha MM8 Keyboard
