Some say mastering c++ takes about 5 years. You might be better off hooking up with some programmers, artists, etc. and maybe also some courses or books on how to actually design a game. Just so you can formalize your idea.

Go to gaming school, you can find some two year online degrees, or go to college for gaming and programming and take classes on C++, and also here's a very good book to check out: Ultimate Game Design by Tom Meigs. It list tons of websites to buy gaming software, game engines, programming software, etc. everything you need to get started.

I don't know if you are still intressted in game ideas i have one that might be pretty good i have had the idea for 5 years now and think that some game companies are close to it just not there yet it will blow a very well known game out of the water i just don't know how to go about getting it to development like so many other people and now i drive a truck across the country and have little time to persue it but would still like to talk with someone about it if they have the means to try and develop it the concept goes well with the nintendo theme for kids to be active and it will be a very big hit with adults my email is moc.oohay|02cnsms#moc.oohay|02cnsms i dont check it alot but hope to hear from you

I had been having an argument over whether or not it was possible to sell a video game idea to a company, and it would appear from your experience that she was right. It's kind of like trying to get Elton John to write a song based on your idea. Ain't gonna happen.

How, then, should someone proceed if they want to create a video game but don't have the programming acumen to make it happen?

Hi u9, just to say that if your still in the market for game ideas, I've got a couple, but I've had an idea that potentially opens up additional revenue streams other than the innitial game purchase. I thing this IDEA has vast potential if utilised.

Contact me @ moc.liamelgooG|seuqraMKkraM#moc.liamelgooG|seuqraMKkraM

p.s. Good luck in your endeavours.

i have a idea similar to wow but you play with the races of the world and you dont have to chose a class but
you chose 3 "training subjects" for instance if i want to have a healer and a frost mage with a possible new
ranged talent tree kinda like something that would help all ranged weps
so it would look something like this

Race: undead
Class :magish
Talents 1: frost
2:Holy
3: Ranged

so full customizeation of each toon but ne way if ne 1 has some questions i have alot more ideas along with
this like insted of creating a planet like azoroth just use earth like take the spartans

have it like this
Race : Spartan
Class : Palidin…. ish warrior
Talents 1: holy -to heal team and do buffs
2: arms -to fight
3: protection - both classes have that common talent tree

so contact me at moc.liamg|nahtannoc#moc.liamg|nahtannoc

were ever you want.

Well, I'd imagine that part of the point to this article is to say that half of the time game companies probably won't actually care about your "next big idea" and will just ignore it.

Also, "shoots and cars and kills cops" doesn't compare to Final Fantasy only because we know Final Fantasy to be a great game. "Final Fantasy" itself is by no means an idea. The idea behind Final Fantasy is along the lines of "An RPG with a compelling storyline that draws the player in". Either base idea could be made into a completely different game, which could either be the next big hit in the market or just another hit-and-miss.

And, yes, theoretically if you have just about every single detail of a game planned out, then developers are more likely to take a second look at your idea. But it's still reasonably unlikely that they'll still buy the idea from you.

I disagree at with this article

Sun, 30 Sep 2007 02:47:30 +0000

Yes anyone can make ideas and storylines to a game, but that doesnt mean everyone can make up good ones. Im sure plenty of people will agree with me that theres a difference btween man shhots at cars and kills cops and Final Fantasy . Plain and simple ones a good idea and the other isnt that great(i dont think i have to say which one is which). Hovever, one thing i agree with is there is much more to a game than just its just one aspect of the game. Just like this person says graphics and designs are important in game creation too. But he left out that characters feelings , characters progression, the ways a character walks or talks is also key in video game making. No one will ever by a game with a plain person in it. Characters help make games. Id rather by a game with a vallant, vain person in it with a snobby , im better than you person as his nemisis.So i feel this person is right in ways but only does not know for sure why his ideas were not published.Did he ask the game designers and other people with game jobs why his idea didnt work out . I dont think so.So if you decide to post a game corporation about a game idea just dont put in the storyline. Add the characters feelings, what he looks like, ext. In the end if you follow this i believe there is a better chance of acceptance ,but i wouldnt be too optimistic.

whell i have a game desing

If you still check here, I think I have an excellent idea (inspired by my 8 year old daughter). At first I laughed, but I have begun to think it through
and it is very , very promising.

I can only imagine that this post will be deleted pretty soon as this looks like nothing more then spam. If you want people to take you seriously and read your post (i can only imagine that you do) you should never NEVER write your message using all upper case letters. You should also read the list of annoying words and phrases. While you are reading, you might as well install Firefox and an English dictionary. It will do wonders.

Now that i am writing, i might as well answer your questions, though they seem pretty not-serious. I already have started a game-company. Yes, it has a name, I don't know what you need my age for, so I'll just call it old enough. Money… well I'm not too poor. I have something that is more important then money, time and commitment.

who knows!!!

hi im tom and i luv gaming its amazing and yh i have what i think are grea ideas on loads of different games but like the artical says that an idea means noting you need to come up with a lot more thn just the character, theres so many things u need to think about like the story line in detail,what u can and cannot do wats uneque (is dat spelt right? lol) about the ideas we have compared to other games and would it apeal to others as well as just us?? its all about the money!!! theres millions of things to think about and its all usualy designed by a huge group of peopole not just us little people lke us so u ma as well give up and jus dream about it because it unfortunately probably wont happen and jus get a saturday job or a paper round like everyone else lol !!! but sayin that if someone wanted my ideas and thats all they are then i wouldnt hesitate ( spellin )to tell lol well my name tom.f bye
