I have game ideas, and I already wrote it down. I have no experience for making games, so I don't know how to develop it, maybe someone can help me with it? I'll let you know if you're interested. Thanks

To get started, I recommend trying any version of RPG Maker — it's a very intuitive and easy program for developing your story. Best regards and good luck with your development; we're here to help if you need anything.

ohh thank you,, I'll try that one too..

For beginners, I recommend unity. Much more viable for long term over RPG maker. But, RPG maker is much better for hobbyists. 

I've tried Unity, but I'm confused so much, hahhaha,, I guess I'm not build for developing

Yes, it can be complicated.  Do you have programming experience?

nope,, I don't have it,, that's why it's confusing to me,, so I'll just learn it step by step now

Honestly, I would learn javascript first. It will give you basic programming knowledge and make engines like unity  and unreal much less confusing.

Will your game be 2D or 3D?

I have multiple titles, there are 2D and 3D one.. but right now I want to make the 3D one

I'd recommend either Scratch or UPBGE.

Both have intuitive visual scripting (no actual code, unlike Unity and Godot), and are pretty easy to use in my opinion. UPBGE has been known to be a little buggy, but I've been using it for a couple years now and I think it works fine. Find a good tutorial series and you'll have your first game in minutes.

SCRATCH??? DID YOU JUST SAY SCRATCH!!!! SCRATCH HASN'T HAD A MAJOR UPDATE IN LIKE 10 YEARS AND DOESN'T COMPILE INTOJS- OR ANYTHING FOR THAT MATTER! MY GRANDMA COULD BEAT ELDEN RING FASTER THAN SCRATCH COULD COMPLIE A LINE OF CODE.

sorry i have block coding PTSD

yeah, like for beginners...

ohh, thanks for that.. sure I'll try using it too

Scratch??? Did you just say scratch!!!

I build all my games from scratch. I use the C programming language and the SDL2 library.

Is this a recommended method? Yes if you have programming experience. Otherwise, you should try Godot, EasyRPG or Ren'Py.

What do you mean by making games? it is a bit vague. There are a lot of fields in game developement. Story design, 3d artist, game design, programing. I would recommend pick one speciality and focus on that! There just too much skills to be good in all of them. find a team and share the load.  I focus on 3d artist and game design. I could help you learned the basic if you want. I am at intermidierary did a couple of game jams lead one project. Im currently looking for help in making an fps game. A small project of 15 mins of gameplay. let me know if your interested!

well,, I'm a narrative designer, and I already wrote some of the stories, characters, and lore. I want to make it comes true. i would love to if you want to help me, I'd be happy, so text me in telegram @ToomuchMyself thank you

Hey maybe I could help you make a game! :D

heyy,, sure.. i'll be glad if you want to

Hey sorry for the late replay! Have any way I can contact you ?

I'd say learning to code, but that isn't always necessary. 

Bitsy is a great tool for creating unique narrative driven games and it's found right here on itch. 

Otherwise, you could try taking very slow steps and gradually learn to code in any C type languages since that's an industry standard. Unless you want to make games for the commadore or vic-20 (which I doubt), picking a language like C or any other Object-Oriented Programming language or OOP language should work.

Try and take it easy. Best of luck n all that.
