Useful Links Pt 2 - Game Development Communities

Game Discovery ++++
A very useful site for those game developers and designers. It contains loads of information that can help anyone of any skill level, why not give it a click?

Devmaster.net ++++
A nice community full of some great game developers. You can learn game programming of all kinds here, and there are tons of tutorials from which you can learn! You can also visit their forums for personal questions you want answered.

Gamedev.net +++++
A site very similar to Devmaster, but I think it's much more professional, and the forums are much more active. This too has huge amounts of tutorials to learn from, which are updated everyday! They cover gaming topics of all sorts, from the simplest, to the most complex of development methods.

Game Programming Wiki (GPWiki for short) +++
This is yet another site whose content is entirely based on the community's input. It's just like wikipedia, but with gaming. It contains topics like game design and project management. Just give it a try.
