I'm a programmer with moderate experience. I believe I have the skills necessary to become a game programmer, but I don't know where to start. I've searched around. Just finished Andy Gavin's "So you want to be a video game programmer?" series, and I still don't know where to start.
I've looked into various javascript game libraries. I've run through the demos and tutorials. I even took a 3D modeling and animation class in high school, where I proceeded to make 3Ds Max my bitch, but now I'm out of high school and can't afford 3Ds Max. Now I mess around with Blender occasionally.
So here's my question. Where do I really start? Have I started? If so, where do I go from here?
