If I have no experience using a computer, could I make a videogame?

strategy - What area of gaming would you like to focus on? There's many parts - programming and graphics/3d modeling require a bit of computer knowledge. Scripting is a little easier and is easier to pick up, LUA is a great scripting program. If you can get good with it, you can get into some good projects. If you're an artist, start with concept drawings and learn texturing (Photoshop). If you like modeling and animation, start with Milkshape 3D (free) and 3d World Studio. If you like level design, find a good FPS and use the level editor to make your own levels for the game. If you're a musician, work on making soundtrack stuff to set moods.
Once you got some skill going, head over to gamedev.net and talk with people working on projects. Finding a good or stable one is hard to find at times, but rewarding. =)

 

Well, first I want to make a simple 2d atari 2600 looking game. Then, well, the sky is the limit. I've always liked videogames, looking at the boxes, playing them, hell, even buying them. I do like to write though, so I was hoping I could put my writing ideas in an interactive form.

Ah, a writer? Cool. If you wanted to take it real simple, you could check out RPG Maker. This will allow you to write out stories, uderstand basic mechanics of how scripts and functions work, and you can get a whole slew of premade graphics. THey are usually 8 or 16 bit based games, like NES/SNES quality.

 

 

I'm going to try game maker 7.0 out first, then i'll try that.

so far, game maker has a pretty good tutorial.
