Hey guys im new here hows it goin? anyways i have always wanted to be an artist in the game industry and i would like to better understand the technical aspects of game design. i have zero experience in programming and frankly i feel a bit overwhelmed by it. i guess what i'm asking for is an easy to understand explanation of game programming for beginners. i have tried google and cant find anything significant, i eventually want to learn how to program but what i am looking for right now is an understanding of what it actually is and what different programs u need to use and how they relate to each other if that makes any sense. thank you for your time
