I was wondering how long did it take for some of you who started off as complete novice with game editor, to mastering the software or becoming good enough to make most of the games tried to make? Did you originally have a programming background?

Thanks,

Well, I knew absolutely nothing about c++ or anything about making computer games, and now I know enought to make just about any game that I wanted to. Of course some games I would have to ask questions for, though. Ive been here for about a year now. Although I know enought to make games, Im still learning.
I would suggest that you make smaller, simple games at first, and experiment with new concepts. That way, when you want to make a bigger game, you can recall on your past experiences. But thats just my advice.

it took about 2 months or so for me to make eternal legacy up to v 1.05 ( check my signature for the game )

and i had no programming experience at all before starting it

the problem with programming is,


#1 the more you know, the more you know the more you want to add

#2 the more you want to add, the more you are forced to fix

#3 the more you fix the more you need to know ( repeat spets 1 - 3 )

That's exactly why its good to start with small projects.
