This question is probably in the wrong forum. Check out the Newcommers thread. All kinds of resources there. But before you delve into a full fledged game project you have alot of learning to to. I've haven't tried any of the tutorials in the newcomers thread but I everyone says their good.

woah! slow down there. first, you need to punctuate your sentences. second, there is a search box at the bottom of the page. more than likely you will find everything you need there. third, look up tutorials. there are loads of them.

Not a very helpful thread title, I had one leg in my spandex costume before I realised you just wanted to know how to make games.
You obviously have an idea for a game that's excited you, but sadly there is no quick way to turn an idea into a game (unless its something that can be done with FPSC or the like)
You're probably not going to still be here to read this so I'll stop now...

But yeah what program you use will depend on how much you're willing to put into learning - there are things like FPSC which are easiest for someone with no knowledge of programming, then things like DBC/DBP which are easy to get into but still require a fair bit of work to get some decent results - I would personally advise DBC or DBP as they are more powerful and flexible than a drag and drop game-maker style thing, but going for any more complicated languages might be a bit above your head if you're a complete beginner.

try:

Easiest: the 3d Game Maker- not a very flexible engine, but you will get results fast.


Medium: FPSCreator
Medium with better results: FPSCreator with source mod, or FPSCreator x10 if you have vista.

More Difficult: try Unity3d- it's a little more expensive, and tougher to use, but it's quite flexible and allows for some great indie designers to make good games- there are tons of tutorials out there for those new to design.

It's a very badly written OP, asking for nebulous advice, from nearly two months ago, and he's never returned to the thread to respond to any of the answers. Something tells me posting more answers here isn't the most efficient use of time.

Unity3d indie is free now so how exactly is it a little more expensive?(Unless you were talking about the pro version of course)
