Where Do I Start Making A Game

Hello everyone,

So I am a newbie here. Let me introduce myself

Born in Singapore in 1984 … served National service, did Primary, Secondary and Junior College here. Then Performed National Service.

After that , without really thinking about it, took parents money and took up an Electrical Engineering course in Chicago at Northwestern University. Initially I did well, but toward the end lost motivation and became depressed, suicidal and delusional. Started to act out and refused to face reality. Kept dropping out of school In total I spent almost 7 years at Northwestern and dropped out of school 3 times. The last time I reapplied back, I got my student visa denied under section 2.14b in about 2011. I spent the next few years doing absolutely nothing at all, just playing video games and slacking around. Almost got into fights … Now, after reading Paul Graham’s essays on software , technology and entrepreneurship, I have decided to start making computer games. I love playing computer games and now it is my dream to create blockbusters like Heroes of Might and Magic 2 , Starcraft and Warcraft and change the world with some blockbusters, get accepted into YCombinator and eventually emigrate to United States.

This is the start of my journey. Please advise where should I start … Are there any tutorials around where I can begin with? Thanks alot !

Certainly. The official ones are all linked under the “Learn” link at the top of this page. And there are gazillions more which a quick Google or DuckDuckGo search will find for you.

Have fun and good luck!
