Wow, very cool stuff! I looked at your blog! Becoming a Game Designer is my dream! I worked alot on Blender, and sometimes switching between 3Dmax and Maya. I know Python very well, and I'm not bad with C#, still don't have a clue about OOP:(. Do you think that is a good start ? I'm very interested to work on some sort of project, to push myself learn more, Do you have a suggestion ? Thanks!

Hey, Thanks for your interest! :) One thing I find useful in learning to program, is to use programming to solve small problems I have in other areas, instead of relying on other peoples programs. No matter what language you use, this helps you understand the process of identifying a problem, and coming up with different solutions for it ( or researching how others may have overcome this problem). Apart from that, all I can really say is make something. It doesn’t matter if it turns out bad, or if you never finish it, just make something, and don’t stop making things. A good idea is to remake older games, This will help you understand not only the mechanics of these games, but also the programming techniques used by the designers ( which surprisingly, are often still very useful today ). C# is a pretty fantastic language to learn in, and I highly advise continuing on with it :) but yea, Good luck with everything :)
