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

It will still be quite hard, im sure.

I think there might even be a demo on the website so why dont you have a go of that first?

Ah well, good luck anyways.

The program looks like it could handle an FPS pretty well. Start off simple, build a small level, a few enemies, a gun and the end of the level.

Yeah, you're right. Just saying that there are a lot of competent programmers out there who have no qualifications whatsoever, and just program for the fun of it.

I reckon Cookie Monsters had a top idea with Dark Basic...

They sell it here at SR (about 33quid I think?)...

And its a great place to start if whether you want to be a programmer or designer...

There was even a guy on these boards who posted a game he'd written in Dark Basic a few days back.
