So where do I start? Also how do I reset my gdnmail.net mail account password it asks me for an answer that made sense when I was a youngun but have no idea now I am older.

Welcome back! We don't see a lot of accounts registered in 1999 active these days! :)

Some of the current popular options for hobbyists include C# with Unity or Monogame, Unreal Engine, and Java with libgdx - amongst many others (such as a nice new version of SDL for the C++ crowd) of course.

What have you used before, and what sort of games are you n interested in making? What target platforms?


As for gdnmail, I didn't even know that still existed - Mike might be able to help you though, I'll shoot him a quick message pointing him in your direction!

If you haven't tried them yet, consider using variables or HTML.

Thank you jbadams, I am looking into making retro arcade type of games strictly 2d. I am interested in making extremely in depth 2d rpg, targeting systems Windows, Linux and Mac Osx. This is just for fun and not commercial purposes and I am willing to invest years into it. I am currently evaluating SFML and the Thor extensions because I have been programming in c++ for the last 10 years and that library is cross platform. I have used SDL in the past as well so I will evaluate that as well.

I love all aspects of game dev, designing, character creation, programming, 2d art, music and sound. I think it will be fun to do all the programming and asset creation myself. Unlike traditional rpg's I a will be basing mine on African mythologies, Story telling, music and art. It is going to be fun.

<cough> I was here mid-90s but I have no idea what my ID was... for a moment I thought this was my original ID but then remembered it was my university IT login 5 years later!

I wonder how I'd find out? Do you cull unused accounts or am I in there somewhere?

Have you already seen the finished hockey MMO? It's amazing :)
