I bought "the ultimate guide to Game Development with Unity" it focus on the engine unity which is in C#, that is almost like a c++ but made by Microsoft translating your skills from c++ to c# shouldn't be too hard. Like I did from Java to c++. The other one I bought was "The unreal engine developer course - Learn c++ & make games" that is based on unreal engine and the language used is c++. I haven't started either because I was taking some classes at my college and it would be too hard to do everything. But I am planning on starting them this summer to at least create two games. I saw the reviews of the courses and they are really good. I think one the them is sponsored by the engine company itself, so one of the instructor works directly to either unreal or unity engines.

Are you studying in college for graphics programming. Or are you going for computer science and then specializing in graphics programming?

Also thanks for the resources I will
Check them out. Also when you get going on the courses you should post some of your stuff. Would be cool to see what you are working with.
