I appreciate your attitude about the whole thing, flash. If you would like a little direction on what to study, programming is definetly it. It''s almost impossible to sucessfully lead a project with out at least some basic knowlege of how programming works. As for where to start with learning programming. I recommend searching for information on QBASIC, which is the easiest programming langauge I know of. From there you can look into C, C++ etc. Oh, also check out the page in my signature.

I''ve got way to much time on my hands so :
1) Delphi, C++, Open GL knowledge
2) V.Limited modelling skills (snaps: www.gamedevelopment.8m.com)
3) Experienced (my articles: www.sagamedev.co.za/articles)

I havnt been programming for 3 years, im only 17 going on 18, but i also want to make a game or somthing, but i''d rather learn everything i need to make the game. (i.e. learn 3d modelling, find out how a town system works (if this is a FF type game, then its a RPG, you should look into D&D, they have a few books on how to design towns, and what each town has to have.))

Learn a little bit of programming, find out how the structure works, and when you know somethign about programming, and designing a town, and a character, then you can probably ask for some help from people who would like to have their name on some game they made.

If you cant get the help you need, just work with the people you have, have each person learn a little of each others job. The modeller learns a bit about programming and town design. The programmer learns a little about 3d anime and artwork, and etc. This will probably help you work faster without having to have a lot of people... but then again, each person learning everything, might slow you down, and make people have brain farts. Who knows.

But then again, I have 0 experiance in game programming, and forgot everything i learned 3 years ago about BASIC VB and VC++, why listen to me right?

Hey man, I can see that you are new here by your join date.
I''ll tell you why you got SO MANY negitive responses.
Not just here but on pretty much every programming board ever invented there are ALWAYS posts from people saything some on the line of
"Hi, I don''t have any experiance yet, but I want to make a really good game, so if any really experianced people want to make my game for me, e-mail me".

As someone else pointed out, those experianced people are already working on their own projects. You should check out the beginer forum, see if you and some other beginers can get a small team together and make a game like pong, pac-man or some other simple game. But seriously, read some books, read more books, and when your done go get some more.
