TL;DR: Level up with the Beginner's Guide to Game Development Bundle, on sale for 98% off. As of Sept. 14, grab it for just $29.99.


If you're a true gamer, you've probably wondered a bit about the ins and outs of how your favorite games are made. And if you've been looking to change career paths or make money from doing something you truly love, this beginner's bundle on game development is a great place to start.

Start by learning to create WebXR, VR, and AR games in any browser. You just have to be familiar with JavaScript coding to get started. Then, move on to learning how to bring your WebGL to life with custom shaders. Essentially, you'll be learning GLSL shaders from scratch, which will help you learn how to write code for your own games for browsers. Then, with Node.js, you'll be able to unlock the secrets of Socket.IO.

By the end of the third course in the bundle, you'll have all the skills necessary to create 3D multiplayer games of your own. The final few courses of this eight-course bundle will cover how to use Three.js to create your own 3D games for modern browsers, how to create a 3D car racing game, and how to use HTML5 games using Adobe Animate.

Each course is taught by instructors like Nicholas Lever, who boasts an impressive 4.4 out of five-star instructor rating for his engaging teaching style and mastery of the subjects at hand. Lever has been a cartoon animator since 1980 and has spent the majority of his career creating games and staying up to date on current trends and market needs.
