Lol Gonna have to forgive me for not puttin DAT kinda specific intel bout mahself out chea on da coli streets like dat, breh. You know how ignant cats can get once dey get a hold of any viable personal information on folks.

But I've been doin concept design work, professionally, for about 8 years now. I have done work for both film and video games. And do also do book illustration from time to time.

My son is 13 and wants to develop games. I want to give him a head start can someone point in me the right direction. I know I can use google but I love my coil brehs n/h

Have him download Game Maker: https://www.yoyogames.com/studio/download

Then he can follow the built-in tutorials or the tutorials on the website. Also, this is a good tutorial, but I don't know if it's outdated at this point: http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=007b18ba2f42b0c9fd64a3ea2f263ce7&topic=3142.0

You do modeling? What program do you use? I'm thinking of using either 3ds max or Maya.
