Well written!

Hey, it's also a good idea to post a link to your article on https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/

Already done so, but thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion!

This is true hacker news! Amazing.

Pikuma is definitely one of the best resources available on the subject: https://pikuma.com/courses/cpp-2d-game-engine-development

He explains every mathematical concept in an easy to follow format and the course is broad and accessible.

I highly recommend.

I agree!! i always have so much fun with gustavo's lectures. 100% recommended. and they have a Youtube channel now.

I second godot: easy to develop with, easy to make GUIs (or complex text-based layouts). The exported "executables" are pretty small and performance is acceptable for small mobile based projects.

I second this, one of the best courses available on the theme. Nice pace & content and a fair price.

Javidx9 if you are into game programming. His videos are perfect: clear, concise and packed with techniques.

Nice to hear your history. I'm very interested in the details of your transition (pros and cons). Are you from Brazil? Can I send you an email for a little chat?

Thanks.

Sure man, shoot. And if by any means you get nearby São Paulo lets have a coffee/beer/whatever.
