Anybody here messed with the Cryengine 3 SDK much? I've played with it but never really made anything extensive.

I've been playing around with it. Trying to get a feel for the editor again and trying to get stuff from blender to CE3 (thus far, CryBlend is working well, but the original developer has stopped working on it :/ ).

Looking at the code base makes me feel very puny, but the tutorials make everything look so easy.

I have been into programming for about a year and a half. I started using GameMaker and I made a short but very functional demo of a Final Fantasy type game based on Naruto and I also made a clone of Mario on the NES. I have now moved on to a program called Unity3D, it is very powerful but quite complicated.
Good luck to everyone here in their gamemaking endeavors! =)

So guys, I've decided to get serious at this. I'm learning SDL and OpenGL because I decided that I'd rather have portability over popularity.

I've got a six month plan all written up and a goal to reach.

Here's to a successful 6 months period of time and actually finishing something.

Cheers.

Will you be using external libraries and engines (besides SDL and OpenGL media libraries perhaps) or are you planning to go full man-mode and write everything yourself?
