Game development - how to make a game?

[Rephy1972]

Hi! Does here anyone have any experience creating his own video games? I always wanted to create RPG game like Diablo 1, but with 3D camera perspective, like in WoW. Problem is im bad at programming, and even worse I am at making games.

But, I have time so... I think I can make something playable (in fact i have many ideas borrowed and modified from other games and animes, that I would love to put to life). But I don't know, what is the best language to make a game in? The target platform would be computer with windows. The target audience umm im not sure XD but the genre would be three dimensional role playing game certainly.

Any help appreciated!

First of all I don't think you will get many players, so don't get your hopes too high. People often code games for years and then they make zero sales or get zero players. And they're not beginners. However I don't want to stop you so just have that in mind and don't quit your job lol. To make video game I suggest you to use game engine, e.g. Unity. There are other engines but by far this is the easiest engine, and it's not anyhow limited.

RPG games are hard to make even if you aren't beginner. I also was creating game like D1 in the past and I followed this How To Make RPG Tutorial, it's more or less covering everything you need to know to make a game in Unity. But after you finish tutorial you will have to search for information and solutions on your own. Game development is never ending struggle.
