Do you have other game programming experience? Odds are (prior; I have no evidence about you) you don’t so I’m going to go ahead say it: tetris, breakout, asteroids, snake, invaders, pacman, and mario, before you try to do anything like a three month serious project. People seriously underestimate how much there is to learn from making simple well defined games.

Which is an excellent game (thanks for pointing it out), despite its somewhat annoying UI (the reviews say it’s worse on mobile devices). Regardless, if you haven’t played it yet, you should.
Yes, I’ve been making games for a long time, and I completely agree with you. In fact, I’ll be documenting the whole process of creating my current game. I should have it up sometime this week (I hope). If you are interested, watch this link (there is nothing there yet).
That’s cool, I think we really do need more in-detail descriptions of the process. I’ll watch.
Yeah I’ve been getting into amateur game programming as a hobby. I’ve been wanting to do it for a long time. I just finished my spaceinvaders-type game. Next is pacman, then I’m going to let myself start to be creative (which is the whole point).

Yup, I would recommend to anyone to play it on PC or Mac.

Do you make/work on games yourself?
