DrinkAlot said:It is harder to do a Single Player than a Multiplayer game? Why?Multiplayer is harder. Try to write Tic-Tac-Toe for two players which are connected by socket. I write this game. I create a server using Node.js, Express, Socket.io and TypeScript. I use Phaser and TypeScript for client. Phaser is desktop and mobile HTML5 game framework that based on WebGL and Canvas API. You can find a lot of tutorials by searching: phaser multiplayer. I like to use Heroku for free hosting my Node.js applications.

1.) you can start with 3d, there is no advantage really to starting with 2d

Disagree 100%. 2D is much simpler than 3D, and you can make hella-fun games in 2D as well. That extra dimension adds much more complexity to both game programming, and game design.

I'd definitely recommend starting at 2D, and, once you've made a game that works, and you understand the process better, go to 3D if you want.
