[XcapeX]

Which of these would you suggest me learning first to develop games?

- UnReal Dev. Kit (UDK)
- C++
- PHP (don't think this is really gaming..is it?)
- Java Game Development
- Python (not sure about it?)
- Visual Basic
- Regular Game Development
- C
- 3DsMax /or Blender

Not sure where to begin on this..

Well for an easy langauge python would be best.

However if you want to go all out C# or C++.

RPGMaker, and other similar game building WYSIWYG Game builders might help out with building the story line, planning, and styling your game.

Adobe Flash might be a good way to learning how to make mini games, or massive MMO type games like Farmville, and the many Facebook Flash based MMO games. C, C++, C#, and Java are good for making games I heard because they are fast languages. Although, MineCraft and Runescape is made with Java.

Java is easy to learn and your java apps will work on all OS's.

If you have BASIC photoshop knowledge you can create 2D games with Java, and even 3D games too. Though once you get to complex you will need deeper knowledge in 3D programs and other languages. Java has it's restrictions so you can't do anything to graphics intensive, but graphics shouldn't be your focus.

And PHP can be used to make text based games to play in your browser.

I have advanced experience with photoshop and have been learning java from http://www.thenewboston.com/.

Runescape is in Java..so it's not too bad with graphics. But I think java is a good starter as well.
