Chris patiently helped me and answered all of my questions.... It was an amazing feeling to actually see it in its existence -- what was first only an abstract, seemingly impossible idea in my mind was now a real, tangible, playable game.

Current pricing: Free. (I cover my costs by making videogames.)

Everyone's background and objectives are unique, so I work with each student to determine what sort of support makes the most sense. Past examples include:
  • Custom sample code for a particular type of classic videogame
  • Information on career and education paths related to the videogame industry
  • Feedback for a hobby videogame project currently being created
  • Brief Q&A covering the basics of how videogames are made
  • Tips on making your own levels and weapons for commercial videogames
    ("modding" - note that certain games work much better for this than others)
  • Guidance on next steps, based on your current interest, abilities, and goals
If your question can be answered by something in the existing Text Lessons, I'll send back a link to that section. If your question seems like a common one, I'll include whatever I prepare for you in a later edition of that series.

To apply, please e-mail ProBono@GameDevLessons.com briefly providing the following information (maximum 2 sentences each):
  1. Why do you want to make videogames?
  2. What type of simple videogame would you want to make first?
  3. What type of videogame would you want to make eventually?
  4. Will you share your knowledge and help beginners? (1 word answer)
  5. What is your current background or experience in videogame making skills?
  6. Links to any site(s) with your past or present creative or programming work.
At my next availability, generally between 2-5 days after I receive the message, I'll get back in touch and we can discuss how to move forward.
