The ultimate guide to video game writing and design

This is a book to tell you tips on writing dialogue, presenting your ideas to developers and publishers, and creating a design document. It was made by the authors of The Chronicles of Riddick.

If anyone's interested besides me check out the website for it at www.watsonguptill.com and I believe it costs $19.95.

Meh, you need to know coding too. I recently bought dark basic games creator software thinking it would be easy to create a simple video game to play. Opps, haven't touched computer code since I was a kid and all we had at school were Apple iiE s and the internet didn't exist yet. Yup, a green computer screen, I'm pretty sure Sin/Monster knows what I'm talking about, plus that Oregon Trail game, lol. Also, I don't understand why in dark basic I keep getting syntax error when I type in DO as a command like the tutorial shows??

I don't really have a joy in making games, only playing them. when i make a game, ill never play it, becuase i know everything about it. I made some flash games and I got bored playing them in like 2 minutes. not that they sucked, everybody else liked them.
