You need to pick a game engine, source or create art, produce music and sound effects, and of course, come up with the game idea. Luckily, Humble is currently running five bundles that can help get your game-making career of the ground.

The Complete Unity/Unreal Engine Online Course Bundle

Two of the most popular and well-supported 3D game engines are Unity and Unreal Engine. The Complete Unity/Unreal Engine Online Course bundle includes 41 items to get you comfortable using either engine, including how to make your first game, add multiplayer, turn it into an app, and even how to experience your creation invirtual reality. This bundle also covers 2D and 3D game development.The Complete Unity/Unreal Engine Online Course Bundle(Opens in a new window)costs $25 for all 41 items and ends in 13 days.

The first is called the SFX and Music (for Your Games) bundle and contains 43 items. There are sound effects, full music tracks, and loops to suit all types of games, as well as a collection of voice announcer audio for cards and casino games.The SFX and Music (for Your Games) Bundle(Opens in a new window)costs $25 for all 43 items and ends in six days.
