Wanna start game development
-
Well game development it's a huge area. What kind of help you expect?
if about toolchains:
"V-Play":http://v-play.net/ - I am not used it but people say that it's a good engine.
"Ogre":http://www.ogre3d.org/ - open source engine.
"http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/":http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/ -
I have installed Unreal Engine 3, but I haven't tried yet. It's free and a very good engine.
Anyway, you should learn how to make 3D graphic development. I've worked with Blender, it's free, but it's not very "friendly".
Hope it helps. -
Hi,
it really depends on which kind of game you would like to create. If you are new to game development, it might be better to start with a small project, probably in 2D, and then evolve over time.You can also have a look at these similar threads:

Honestly I am zero in Game Development. So just tell me where to start from basic.

These are some good links, alternatively... you may want to ask yourself what exactly you want to do. Do you want to build / design games? In which case there are quite a few good engines out there with amazing toolkits to get the job done. Or do you want to build from the ground up, like building your own engine.

[/quote]Depending on the path you want to take and how hardcore you wish to get... taking either path has its benefit. If you really want to get into the fundamentals of exactly how everything works... start from scratch. If you would just like to make games... use an engine or even play around with the Qt OpenGL support and start off with things such as a little 2D scroller, or a puzzle style game.
Best place to start, the book store. Do some research, find the area you think you would rather be in, buy some books to learn the languages needed and jump right in.
TIP: if you have a big idea in your head about a game you want to build...great, build other games first to learn everything you need to work towards your big game idea. Jumping right in to the "big game idea" without really knowing how to implement anything is a quick way for projects to be set on the back burner.
