Easily Make Your Own Video Games
Ok, there are many things you could do to start making your own game. But the fact is that most gamers, including me, are lazy (ha). So you could try out a school like The Art Institutes, Digital Media Arts Instute, and etc (if your really serious and want to put in the effort). But there are easier ways out there. I've tried many different free programs, Game Maker, RPG Maker XP, and 3D Adventure Studio. They all mostly work very similarly, you have preloaded objects, and you just simply place them and play.
For commercial games-
There are also some more advanced game making softwares out there (not free), these include DarkBasic Pro (sweet graphic if you put in the time, A LOT of time), GameStudio, The 3D Gamemaker, and GLBasic. Most of these work similarly as well, they are more complicated than the free downloadable one's. Some of the them do require some knowledge about graphical interfacing, physics, etc. But the engine does a lot of that work for you.
Now, for you people that want a combination of both types of products (drag and drop, some programming, and can be used commercially), there is one program I've found. It's called Multimedia Fusion 2.0, on it you drag and drop pics, and program your game using word (like ball collides with bat, ball bounces). But you can also use the picture editor to make frames (make person walk, etc.), and use different angle of pics to make it 3d. It's by far the best easiest, most customizable, software I've found, I made first game in an hour. If you want to check it out, here's the site http://www.softwarecasa.com/multimedia-fusion.html?ref=114&affiliate_banner_id=1&prod_id=79
So my conclusion is that if you want to make your own games easily, try out some of the softwares I've meantioned. And if your really serious about it, check out some of the schools.
