Maybe try something like Game Maker to get you started. It will give you the fundamentals, although it is nowhere near as good as actually learning how to do scripting or coding yourself when it comes to understanding how things work. But for basic game design principles, it is a good way to learn.

I have heard good things about pygame for those who are interested in the programming side
http://www.pygame.org/wiki/tutorials

Here is a free pdf book about writing games, which also has an section on pygames

A friend of mine who is soon-to-be-12 has learned 3d graphics by starting with google sketchup and then switched to blender. He uses blender to make custom models for minecraft, but it can be used to make cool graphics for games written with pygame as well

You do have to learn how to program in python to use pygames, but it's a pretty good language for people who don't have a lot of programming experience yet. My younger friend has started learning it. http://www.briggs.net.nz/snake-wrangling-for-kids.html

Quoting: shadowgonecrazyYeah not really soon but i need some help first I do not know how to get started im only 13 years old -_- I know right just wanted to put that out there but cant a 13 year old dream?

Yes, you can. I'm waiting since twenty years to start my adventure game :D  (I'm fourty years old °_° )
I suggest to look to GtkRadiant, it's a good tool for learning. You build levels for some nice Id games, next You will mod to the engines that are GPLed (Doom, Quake 2, 3, 4, Doom 3, Wolfestein, ET, etc.)
Another funny tool for making game (genre adventure) is Inform7 or Frontabs but these programs are more suitable for the game designers/editors than game developers.

Magevania, what genre of story for your adventure-game-to-be? I might want to sign up as your first tester :)

You might want to check this one out if you are starting to learn programming: [http://scratch.mit.edu/](http://scratch.mit.edu/).
It's a simple environment for creating your games by arranging different blocks of "code" (not really code, basically just instructions). It's pretty simple to learn, easy to use and most importantly it eliminates the need to do annoying and complicated bug hunting, because you forgot one letter on the line X.

Don't let the simple user interface fool you though, you can create quite complex game mechanics with it. Once you've learned the basics with that, I suggest you learn Python and Pygame.

There's actually quite a lot of options to start learning this sort of thing (as long as you're willing to put the effort in).
A nice way to start could be on Coursera or a similar free online education site.
[https://www.coursera.org/course/gameprogramming](https://www.coursera.org/course/gameprogramming) - Game programming with C# starts on 16th September. Even if you don't keep up with all the homework, once you've enrolled you will always be able to watch the videos and do the course (just no award for it).

What I know of Python I learned from finishing the tasks in each of these books, where each chapter you learn to make a game:
[http://www.amazon.co.uk/Python-Programming-Absolute-Beginner-Dawson/dp/1435455002/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378596781&sr=8-1&keywords=python+programming+for+the+absolute+beginner](http://www.amazon.co.uk/Python-Programming-Absolute-Beginner-Dawson/dp/1435455002/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378596781&sr=8-1&keywords=python+programming+for+the+absolute+beginner)
[http://www.amazon.co.uk/More-Python-Programming-Absolute-Beginner/dp/1435459806/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1378596781&sr=8-2&keywords=python+programming+for+the+absolute+beginner](http://www.amazon.co.uk/More-Python-Programming-Absolute-Beginner/dp/1435459806/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1378596781&sr=8-2&keywords=python+programming+for+the+absolute+beginner)

If you manage to finish just the first one of these books you will know enough about python to start messing about with it.

Thanks Guys I've really looked into the GtkRadiant sense I love quake games I have been a lover of Quake all of ID softwars game Doom! Best one out there for zombie horror games in my opinion :) So thanks everyone I have starting to work on it and planning on getting the game out soon

How do you open it I have no Clue?

I'm not sure how far you got in installing it.

Is your system 32-bit or 64-bit (run "uname -m" if you don't know)?
That determines which file you need to download here http://icculus.org/gtkradiant/downloads.html

Then the next step is to unpack the download with tar, which I do from a terminal window with a command like

tar -xf GtkRadiant-1.6-Linux-x86_64-20121007.tar.gz

(I have the 64-bit system, the bolded part would be different if you need 32-bit)
also there is probably a way to do it by clicking the downloaded file from your filebrowser, but I'm not sure what the lubuntu filebrowser program is like.

Then in the unpacked directory, you will find a file called radiant.bin and that is what you need to run. You can start it from a terminal window like this

cd GtkRadiant-1.6-Linux-x86_64-20121007
./radiant.bin

or you should be able to browse to that unpacked directory with your filebrowser and click to start.

Forgot to mention, that you might need to install another package to make GtkRadiant run. Let us know if you get the error message about "error while loading shared libraries" while trying to run radiant.bin, and type in the name of the library (or libraries) it is complaining about. For instance, it could be missing "libgtkglext-x11-1.0.so.0" in which case you would install libgtkglext1, but that's just one possibility.

Here is some Software for making games that I have collected for myself. And Blender of course, you can make the models and use the built-in engine to make the game:
