OK, here is the situation, the thing i am about to speak about/ask will annoy some of you as i am sure it has been asked before, i don't care and if it does annoy you, then why are you still reading as you know what it will be about from the title!

I, as most people like to create games, i want to be a games designer, i like thinking up plots for Adventure games and RPGs, some may think it is sad, again i don't care!

If someone who knows how you can become one, get a game acknowledged please help me, i am poor at art, so my drawing are always basic but still, Steven Spielberg does stick figure story boards! Look how great he is, like i say, if you know how, please tell me

Thanx in adavnce

You might need a beefy PC for Dark Basic - It uses alot of RAM, and a graphics card maybe a good idea when it comes to making 3D game worlds.

Stop calling it a game.

Dark Basic is a program which *makes* games. Not a game itself.

And there should be a file which you downloaded along with the program which is a tutorial.

If you havent got that or there isnt a little icon on the P-R-O-G-R-A-M then tuff luck.

You'll just have to buy the full thing.

Does it give you step, by step guide on making games?

as the demo had nothing about making a game on it!

yea but does the actual game give you a lot of help, as the demo was not helpful!

Well, you can't expect it to be easy. My box came with a tutorial booklet, as well as the manual, which is a good introduction to making a game. The actual program, however, is identical to the trial version apart from the limitations.

Dark Basic is a LOT easier than C, C++, or any other traditional language, but it still requires a lot of effort, time, willingness to learn - it IS a programming language.

Sir Auron, have you got MSN? If yes, can you add me at [email protected], as I've just got Dark Basic too. It's hard if you're a damn beginner :-D

Hehe, lucky for some eh? ;)
3yrs studying games old and new, with access to the latest and greatest systems whenever needed, and an established in-house turned mainstream developer as your head lecturer... can't go wrong. ;)
