It depends on what kinds of games you want to make...

You'll first need to learn how to program (try DarkBasic for that, it's also good for games, it has graphics and 3d things in it too) or at the minimum some type of scripting language (google for RPGMaker 2000 or 2004 or whatever year they're at).

Eventually, you'll probably need to learn C or C++....

You could also start by making a mod. Most games allow you to make mods (well, not all, but the Half-lifes, the Unreal Tournaments, lots of others, just google 'em), that way you can see how everything fits together, instead of having to fit everything together yourself (a huge project fit only for teams of people).

It's not easy to make a complete game, learn programming first (including some basic data structures), then you'll need to find some tutorials on making games, start out SIMPLE. Don't run off creating an MMORPG or a FPS or something complex. Try making something 2d at first.

Thanx

im doin it with my friend and he doesnt have a clue but do you know of any video tutorials? its the only way ill take it in....

He basicly summed it up. But dont expect to make a complete game in one night. It takes loads and LOADS of patience.

Yeah that's like asking "I need adVice on learning Japanese and building a house."

There's a LOT involved in making games, man. You need to learn a programming language, have a specific Goal in mind, and plan out how exactly you're going to get what you need done efficiently so it runs well.

It takes patience. Read read read. There are no videos on programming, because it's not a skill that you learn in 2 hours.

bummer i totally lack concentration!
