1) Learn the basics of communicating to the computer in a programming language; DarkBASIC Pro. will be the easiest and most flexible language to learn and use at a beginner level, especially for making 3D games.

2) Learn the basics of programming; variables, data types, syntax, etc.

3) Learn how to program some of the essential elements of a game, like simple ways to do collision, etc.

4) Learn the basics of a "game engine", write code to handle things like player input and react to it, etc.

5) Write a really simple game like Pong

6) Continue learning and developing larger games each step


Remember those old guys? They made epic renders, I think one of them was called DaVinci, and all they used was MS Paint. Sometimes it's just skill....

Caffine, cigerettes and a lot of alchohol.

It takes a lot of learning, hard work and dedication to make even the simplest of games, Having written in excess of 20 games in my time it is a rewarding hobby.

plan everything, even the way everything moves.

set achieveable targets for you game, you aint gonna make COD 6.

dont just dive in, believe me it dont work.

Learn the basics, Maths is as boring as hell but without it you wont get anywhere. Trig, valences et all.

When you have done it do it again but better, everygame I have written I have looked back and thought I should have written that another way.

Dont forget you other commitments, ie girlfriend, friends and household chors.

I give ip with thos baner fing as it never seems to work for me. I woll now stop wasting mu time.

Yeah, never forget about your girl. But you can achieve it all without caffeine, cigarettes and alcohol...

Hmm, not so much alcohol and cigarettes but DEFINATELY caffeine, that's very important. Never approach your computer without an ample supply of coffee.

Am i the only one who did it by just trying and failing a million times, losing my life, sitting all alone each day for 2 years to learn this?

Ok, not that bad but i didnt have any type of support except for my computer and a dark basic classic programming book that explained some stuff..

Spyro the Invincible? Well you can start by searching the web for the programs you need, you may need to find: a 3d modeller, a game engine, a Programmer program, a UV mapper and a texturer program, like Gimp or Photoshop

and expect it to cost a bit, if you want to sell the game anyway =P otherways, if you want to give it out for free you can stick with free programs =P

good luck

Edit: here is some great 3d progams: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=124872&b=3

Quik, Quiker than most

Caffine, yup.

Alcohol and computers don't really mix.

But if it works for you...

Simple,
Pick a 3d program, you might want to go for open source 3d programs like Blender.
Then pick a 3d engine. I'd recommend this, or if you don't want to program, this.
Try staying away from any C based languages until you have enough understanding of how game creation is done and always start from the bottom, don't think you can create any of the games you play on your 360 yet, it will take years for you to even consider taking on something that big. Start off with pong and other simple platformers.
