Simple Programmer Podcast 189: What Technologies Do I Need To Develop A Game?

What Technologies Do I Need To Develop A Game?

A lot of developers dream about game development. This is a hot topic and a lot of programmers want to become software developers so that they can develop games and work in the game development industry.

While I've talked about game development before, whether it was the career or pros and cons, I've never talked about what you REALLY need to start developing games.

So, I've received this question from a reader asking me about what he needed to start developing games. He talks about how technology has changed so much over time and how complex it is right now to develop games. How can just one person develop an entire 3d game? Directx? CUDA? How the hell?

I talk in this video why right now may be the best time to develop games and why these technologies don't matter so much anymore.
