Feeling a bit lost? Here is the official Ludo Dojo Strategy Guide! Use it as a guide, use it as a resource, use it as reading material.

Where do I begin?

So you’re brand new and not sure where to go. Ludo Dojo aims to be a resource that guides aspiring game makers who are searching for knowledge.

A good first step is to check out Tools of the Trade. Each article is fairly brief and will give you insight into which tool may interest you the most. Maybe you’re looking for a design-focused tool, or a comphrensive tool without programming requirements, or perhaps even more? They all contain “Who’s it for?” sections that can help you figure out if it is right for you.

A great next step is to browse through Jargon Watch. Its informative nature can help prepare you on beginning your tasks and help you decide which aspect of game development is most appealing to you. It also never hurts to learn more terms and jargon used in the industry.

Anything else that may be covered but doesn’t quite fall into a category you can find in the Gaming Gallimaufry.

Tools of the Trade

Here we have articles and summaries of various tools that are used to learn about or create games. They range from beginner to advanced, and include summaries as well as pros and cons for each tool. Not sure how to start making your game? Check out the Tools of the Trade.

Jargon Watch

Jargon Watch is a constantly updating category that introduces and defines various terms relating to the video game development industry that are important to know. Anyone interested in seeing what sort of jargon goes into a game would be hard pressed to find a better place.

Gaming Gallimaufry

Here you can find just about any other article that’s been put onto Ludo Dojo that doesn’t necessarily belong under any category. The Gaming Gallimaufry, there’s never been a more varied hive of news and articles.
