Re: Skills needed to create your own game?
Creating a game is not something you can just jump into. A small enough game can be made by one person, but it would never be sold for money. That one person would have to have:
- Good design skills (ability to plan properly, organise time and resources, etc).
- Good programming knowledge (for a small game, pretty much any language can be used).
- Good drawing skills (artwork).
- Sound creation skills (music, sound effects).
- Good imagination and story ideas.
There's a great deal more work than people realise, and even a small game can take many months to build.
If you're really serious about making your own game, I recommend taking a Games Development course at university or college. It'll be a 2-year or longer degree, and will involve a lot of hard work, but it will be worth it if you're serious.
