Game Creation
Surely, making a game seems like alot of hard work and effort, and it is.
BUT, fear not, there are hundreds of tools available to make it a bit easier for you, And most are even FREE!
Here's a small list of the programs I use to make games with:

Now, these are just the ones I use. There are loads more. Most however, are specified for only one type of game, like side-scrollers or Point-And-Clicks.
There are also of course, textgames. Games with solely text and here and there a picture. These are somewhat difficult to make, and your best option would be a computer scripting language like VBS or C+. There ARE programs made specfically for this purpose, but my experience with them is not so good.
For RPG Maker, I have written a handfull of tutorials over at MUGEN free For All.
I will put them on my website one day, but for the time being, go here: Tutorial Index(external link)
Well, Since I make games, you're probably wondering where you can download some of my games.
Well, unfortunately I have to inform you that I have not yet found the dicipline to create a full game. I do have some demo's on my PC here and there, you can check those out here:
