Advice
Resources I would recommend for those interested in getting into game development (books, tutorials, sites, etc)
Back when I started, tutorials really didn't exist. I had to teach myself everything. Nowadays, there isn't a tutorial you can't find to teach you how to do something when it comes to the art side of game production - so I recommend tutorials. Do enough for specific purposes, and you'll eventually learn how to fill the gaps in between.
