If you have ever tossed around the idea of building your own computer game, you likely didn’t know where to begin. Dan Waters, Microsoft Developer Evangelist has now changed all that.

Dan has created a series of free tutorials and sample source code so anyone can learn how to build their own 3D games from scratch. The tutorials include text and also videos to show how things are done. Link to free tools from Microsoft: XNA Game Studio, and Softimage:XSI Mod Tool are also included in the materials. A sounds recorder is also needed, such as Audacity, which is free but a link is not included in Dan’s materials.
