- A game design: a non-programmed asset such as storylines, outline of the game, and an overview of the logic you will eventually implement when you build the game; building any sort of game takes incredible amounts of planning before you even write one line of code-- without this, frustration and failure will surely find you. Game development is in many ways more difficult than normal programming as you are dealing with image display, movement, physics, sound, etc. It takes multiple "dry runs" (practice of smaller elements of code, animation, etc) to see if things work, how things work, and why they work. It will not all come together magically out of the machine for you all of a sudden. You must do the work and more importantly, the prep work then the actual coding work, testing, and debugging.
- Patience: it will not happen overnight, in a week, or even a year, possibly. Can you commit to a year? You must take small steps and be proud of completing these small steps.
- Experience: this is only earned through trial-and-error, practice, and years of hard work and practice. Books mean nothing without drive and determination.

and not only is the quality often low, most never even make it to release.
I guess that for every game you see on the shelves, another dozen at least fail at one point or another during development and dozens more never even get past the concept stage because they don't get funded.

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

Check that out for some free tutorials.
Not to sound harsh but if you are planning this as a career you need to be the dogs do-das. Unless you are very smart and very good you won't make it, though it is good fun developing games and does help with other programming careers
