User blog comment:Creeper50/Pills: A Short Indie Game by Luca/@comment-25941663-20151206165033

Making games is much, much harder than people realise. Even if an idea seems simple, it will be a nightmare to actually make. I have been programming seriously for about five years (a bit more) and I have taken on and completed more than a dozen projects. Out of them, only four are games and they were by far the hardest to complete, even though as ideas the first three were simple (the fourth is in the works).

What I'm trying to say is, start small and start alone. Maybe get a friend to collaborate with if you can. Make a couple of games to get the hang of things, then start taking on larger and larger projects. Only then will you be able to take on a serious game. Personally, with my five year experience, I'm nowhere near that. So keep that in mind.

It all depends on what you want to do though. Do you like programming? Have you programmed before? Are you an artist? What exactly do you want to do? "I want to make games!" means nothing to me.

So, sit down and think what you want to do. Only then will you be able to get help and advice.
