I would invest in purchasing RPGXP from enterbrain. It's cheap and a wonderful tool!

 

 

 

It's what I used to create the game I am working on (see link in sig)

Game-making programs are only good if you want instant satisfaction in making a game. They're not that good if you eventually want to pursue a career out of making games, or want to do more advanced things (3D, etc).

 

 

 

That is why I recommend to learn how to program. It is tougher, yes, than say, GameMaker, but it's a lot better learning tool, and you can actually put it on your resume ;P

 

 

 

The game I'm working on (a 3D rouge-like) is written in C (C just happens to be my favorite language out of all the ones I've tried), OpenGL for the graphics, Lua for scripting, Allegro for sound/input/window creation/etc.

 

 

 

I would recommend you learn a programming language like C# or Java, to start off. There you can use tools such as XNA for C# or something else for Java. They're easy languages and take care of the 'hard' stuff for you: pointers, ensuring memory is allocated and proper freeing of used memory, and so on.

 

 

 

Then move on to C or C++; I would recommend the latter, because it's similar to C# and Java, but also a lot different. That's if you actually want to move on, because, you can make games in C# or Java. XNA is a quite powerful framework for 3D and 2D games, so I would recommend that if you don't want to learn about pointers and memory allocation/deallocation and happen to like C#. I don't know of any Java equivalents, though.

 

 

 

Here are some links to get started with C#:

I would, however, recommend you get a book on C# or Java--whichever you choose. That is how I learned my first programming language, C. Every other language I tried took only about three to five hours to adapt easily. That is the wonderful thing about learning the universal and basic concepts of computer programming: you can learn any language with relative ease.
