Where should I start Game Dev now?

Name: Anonymous 2014-03-07 18:43

So, I have CS degree, MMO dev experience in a native language (think WoW and its scripting language (LUA?), except standalone,) and a lot of 2D games developed in C# XNA.

I want to move to C++ but I'm not sure where to start. At the moment I'm looking at GameDev.net.

Well... If you're gonna use 3D graphics you can't really go very far from the meat and potatoes. I know GLUT abstracts OpenGL if you don't mind using Java, it has primitives to drawing solids already.

I've never used XNA or other frameworks. You probably should think about the complex problem you want to solve instead of focusing on the technology/language.

If you just want to learn C++ there are more interesting things to make than games.
