I want to begin game development as a hobby, but I'm unsure where to start. I did follow through https://learnopengl.com/ a few years ago, and while it was a very interesting experience, I imagine I would need to use an existing engine to be productive.

Do you recommend any books and tutorials aimed at experienced programmers with 0 knowledge of game development/design?

- Game development - Unity3D project based learning in C#: https://learn.unity.com/ - Graphics - There was another user on r/GraphicsProgramming the other day (who teaches Computer Graphics at his university) that linked their lecture series for the entry year of their course here: https://tamats.com/learn/realtime-graphics/ - Project based learning: https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/wiki - Rendering API tutorials: https://vulkan-tutorial.com/, https://learnopengl.com/

If u want to make 3D game, you'll probably want to learn some 3D shader graphic stuff. OpenGL is a good start. https://learnopengl.com

LearnOpenGl.com

Possibly a smidge outdated.

Goes from blank window to rendering 3d meshes with advanced lighting techniques (HDR, SSAO and more).

Heped me understand shader pipeline, so I recommend it.

I'm reading the guest article about frustum culling on learnopengl.com and there's a video demonstrating how it works and for debug purposes they have a bunch of spheres turning red or green which I assume means they're being culled or not so my question is if I wanted to do this do I have to make a mesh for whatever bounding volume shape or is there a specific method for something like this?

While the principle in that article is correct it’s unfortunately a lot more complex to solve correctly. See my answers to a similar problem here. You can also check this app

Here are some details that should help. You can also look at this example

There is also this implementation.

Take a look at this

You could try running the samples from the NXP demo framework to see if they show the same behavior. I expect the GLES2.S06_Texturing sample would be easy to see it on.

If op decides to use bitmap fonts for small sizes there is some valuable tips here

Well here is a real world large project with 452 packages and 170 applications that run on five operating systems that has been using this since 2014.

Does it handle DPI properly? If not you might find this useful.

Maybe this can help.
