      I second this thought. Would love to see Javascript/HTML5/Canvas gamedev tutorials.

    • http://www.henryhoffman.com Henry Hoffman

      Thirded. We’ve got an HTML5 game coming out soon, so maybe after that I’d be in a position to write one :)

    • http://mobko.com Nemanja

      Me too! :)

  • Paul

    I would like to see things such as parsing a 3D model in different formats (fbx, obj, collada) and loading the different segments (animation, materials, etc). One for C++ and another for Java.

    Loading multiple 3D objects into a scene.

    Side-scrolling for 2D games in Slick2D/LWJGL

    3D sound (OpenAL)

    Menus and in-game menus.

    Displaying radars/maps in a mini-window

  • Paul

    Dont forget OpenGL!!! And I dont mean pong or a brickbreaker game! :)

  • Audrey

    I think I’d love to see tutorials that cover the very basics of game development. Perhaps short tips or guides that I can learn from and still get tangible, memorable results that will aid my own endeavors.

    Game design; I love seeing concepts for characters come to life!

    HTML5

    I would really like to see this site become the quintessential place for leaning game development, not just doing postmortems and talking theory but covering multiple languages with tutorials on how to do everything from setting up a basic window to importing a mesh and animating it.

    Many tutorials on the web and even available books are extremely out of date on things such as OpenGL, and even good/relevant DirectX tutorials can be hard too find given how often it is updated.

    I have wanted to see envato made this site for a long time and have high hopes for it.

  • Excaliber

    Making 3d games like Assassin’s Creed 3. If Possible. Or To Cover some basic the gaming stuff in Assassin’s Creed

  • Boris

    Unity 3d and Android!

  • http://www.debojyotighosh.com Debojyoti Ghosh

    You can discuss how game engines (like UDK, Unity and CryEngine) function. You can also provide tutorials showing how to create basic games with them (2D, FPS, RTS and racing). Gradually the level of skill required can be increased.

  • Rennan

    I would love to learn IOS COCOS 2D game dev!

    UNITY UNITY UNITY!!!!! C# Please!

  • Vaidya

    I wanted to know the FIRST THINGS that took place in gaming industry…….???
    for eg : DOOM introduced First Person Shooting (FPS)

    In the same manner which are the games that introduced different Genres such as RTS, RPG, Multi-player etc,.
    Innovations in the gameplay mechanics, HUD’s, .

    I am one of the biggest Fan no no… Cooler no no no… Air Conditioner will suit even better
    Ever since i came to know about this site there has never been a moment i left to glance the site.
    At first i was interested in PHOTOSHOP, but slowly this site poisoned into me the virus of GRAPHIC DESIGNING,
    VECTOR ART, TEXT EFFECT and many more.

    This site “gamedev tuts+” is like a boon that i never asked for, but it was my deepest desire that i wanted a site
    dedicated to GAMING.
    NOW THE VIRUS OF GAMING IS GOING TO INFECT ME !!!

  • Vaidya

    Create Unity 3D Basix Series (At least user interface tuts)

    Just as u have done with PHOTOSHOP

  • Simon

    For starting simple on iOS a 2D management/building/simulating game would be nice. Think Tiny Tower, Happy Street, etc. No extensive graphical work, just some simple building animations, a simple build ui and some calculations involved to generete income/happiness etc.

  • http://home.smithwebco.com Sean Smith

    I would love to focus on mobile game development using Flash and Adobe AIR for Android and iPhone. Any game programming (or any programming really, because as an artist I know how to handle the graphics part, just not the coding too well) tuts using AS3 are a plus for me, learning actual programming techniques and tactics like how to use loops properly, arrays, etc. I might even have some articles to contribute as I have been toiling away in this arena for a couple years now and have learned a few tricks for dealing with certain problems.

  • The Notorious DAP

    I’d like to develop a fighting game using characters of my own design similar Bible Fight http://games.adultswim.com/bible-fight-action-online-game.html
    and an Action/Platform similar to megaman!

  • Nathan

    Hi,

    What I would like to see is how to make a ‘escape the room’ game in Flash, including the following elements:

    -How to manage instances (on/off)
    -How to manage variables
    -Minimap display
    -Decent inventory system (use/inspect, interaction between 2 inventory items, etc.)
    -Some puzzles ideas
    -Overall navigation

  • http://www.henryhoffman.com Henry Hoffman

    I’d love to see Unity tutorials with code examples for both C# and JS.

    I’d also really like to see some in depth HTML5 game performance tests across various devices/browsers.

  • Inder Singh

    I would love to learn about the basics of game development, Like I know a bit c++ and java but have no Idea about game development. I would love to see a guide, a path that we can choose to become a game developer. What tools to use, what programming languages to use. How to learn and all.

  • erichgeorge

    I’d like to read posts, tips and even tutorials about narrative construction, character building (including visual and behavior atributes) and actors recorded audio syncronization. peace.

  • VIVEK

      Hey VIVEK, I suggest you start out with our From Scratch series, and then move on to our How To Learn posts :)

  • Adri

    I would love to learn how to make a user interface. I’m a Graphic Design student with almost a decade of experience with Photoshop. I’d to break into the Video Game industry as User Interface designer.

  • Collin Phillips

    Python game development with Pygame! I’ve been trying to get into it and there is just so many things that I need to learn more about to truly develop what I want. Maybe even go a step further and do a series on C++ and SDL. I see a lot of preprocessors and game making software on here, but nothing really behind the scenes (except maybe the flash physics tutorials, but that is debatable). It would be nice to know how to actually PROGRAM the game, not just use someone else’s software to make one. I hope you consider this and look forward to seeing what is next!

  • http://www.facebook.com/citron.matt Matt Citron

    How about some tutorials on a mmo to be able to code, model and design an indie version. Like of grand theft auto, saints row and apb reloaded. But nothing similar to it but something of ways of creating one?
