About Learn Gamedev
Learn Gamedev is an open source, curated GitHub repository of game development learning resources, covering all core disciplines including programming, art, design, audio, and production. The list is designed to help users build general game development knowledge and problem-solving skills, rather than teaching step-by-step solutions to specific problems. Nearly all included resources are free, and any paid resources are clearly marked and only included if personally endorsed by an industry professional working in the relevant discipline. The repository avoids most tools, assets, and design analysis videos, only including tool-specific tutorials or assets when they are required to learn a given role effectively.
