The truth is I am making my own game. I always check the source codes of other games & try to make my own.
But anyway , I am doing it alone & I need some help. I want to make a big game but everytime when I try to write the javascript code , even one mistake in the code makes me stumble.
Therefore , I find it very difficult to create this game all my myself. I just wanted to know what is the technique you use to create your games. I mean ; javascript code is too lengthy and even to create a rubbish , third-class game ; I have to put in a lot of efforts. Please also give me some guidance tips so that I can create a big game.
Thanking you ,
Adit.
Hi Adit. The first thing is that if you are trying to make video games but you are just starting, your first game shouldn't be big.
Ironhide's first games weren't the Kingdom Rush Series. We started with a silly South Africa World Cup Trivia game, and then we made Clash of Olympians.
Only then we made the first Kingdom Rush, and the first build was smaller in scope than the final version. No Heroes and only 15 levels. We only added the Heroes after going to the GDC in 2011 and talking with a lot of experienced people.
My point is, if you are a beginner, start small. Learn the ropes. Make sure you are making something than can be finished. A very common error in new game developers is trying to make a big game for their first project. It almost never ends well.
Making games is about planning. Knowing your strengths and your weaknesses. Knowing your team. Knowing your limits (because you HAVE limits... time, money, experience, enthusiasm, energy, focus... all finite resources). So don't bite more than you can chew.
I suggest that you make a specific thread in the Off Topic section if you have specific questions on game development. There are others in this forum that are also taking their first steps in this industry and I'm sure they can also make great contributions to the conversation (in which we will also participate, obviously).

Nope. You'll have to wait. Maybe a few more months.

Silly story really.
I used to be a potato, and people called me "Tatoe"... once I stopped being a potato, the name stuck but changed a bit to reflect my new condition as a weird looking platypus.
- [+] SPOILER
- My two elder brothers called me Tata to make fun of me when I was 2-3 years old, and somehow the nickname stuck. So all my friends and family calls me that now.
I have an American friend that instead of calling me Tata calls me "The Tats". So when I'm speaking english I use that version of the name... that's all there is to it really.
