There is a vibrant community, using a wide variety of tools and technologies, to produce innovative games. Like a lot of people I am drawn to games. I've poked at level design and created game textures a few times. This isn't a comprehensive listing, just a few sites that I've explored. If the subject interests you then dive in and join one of the many active game communities.
