DANSDAD'S PROFILE

hello people,

I'm new to this so please speak in very short and easy to understand words. I understand you will use technical words and abbreviations like they are everyday normal words, but I am at day one, so be slower than usual for me.

I've signed up here on behalf of my 9 year old son. He loves games to the moon and back and would love to know how to make one. I started playing games about 30 years ago on an Atari 2600 woodie, then had a big break until Playstation. I played on and off for years and thought I was reasonably good. Skip forward to about 3 years ago when my son showed interest. In the summer he first held a playstation pad. By Christmas that year he could beat me at any Gran turismo course, and could play any game without instructions.

This, I think, is his future. He is not into sports, unless it's in a game. He can play chess, and loves Monopoly. Him favourite characters are Mario and Sonic, but often says "If I made this game i'd make this happen", or "I'd like to be able to do this now". Can anyone here help me to help him create his own game.
