Hi. im jus thinkin of creatin a game using gamin software but dont know how to do it, anyone had similar experience and made any game? help will be appreciated.

Which software do you plan to use? Currently i use pygame, it is for beginners who want to make simple games and go on to more complex. Although if you want to make games like quake, i would use c++ or directx or java
Pygame

im interested to make small team of enthuasiast as well to help if possibble..

I'm working on a game of my own (still in the game design document stages) but I plan on using this thing called GameMaker for it. You can make some pretty cool games using just the drag'n'drop aspects of it, but you can go more complex if you want to as well. (http://www.gamemaker.nl)

Once I've made a game with this and I'm comfortable with the game design process, I plan on moving on to 3D games with the Torque engine (http://www.garagegames.com)

Good luck with your idea man

cheers, i hope u succeed too.

c++ is where it is at if you want to program games, personal opinion of coarse

Depends on the type of game you want to make. There are tons of programs floating around that allow you to create many different genres of games. I'm only familiar with RPG Maker 2000. I've spent many hours using the program and find it very easy. Before my other computer decided to die, I had over 50 megs of stored chipsets and such.

DirectX isn't a programming language. It's an API [Application Programming Interface]
And you can use C++ [highly recommended for anything professional], Visual Basic, and I think Dephi can link to DX API.

As for where to start, You can find plenty of sites to learning programming languages, and don't start with complex stuff. Space Invaders is usually a common one. Search Google for more stuff.
GameDev.net is one of the best sites related to pretty much anything to write games.
Also their are quite a few forums to do with development.


Also modding games can be a valuable place to learn some of the basics.

good luck
