TheGameCreators

The site offers a catalog of software designed to create 3D and 2D games for the Windows operating systems. Whether you're just starting out or have a little experience, you can do some amazing things with what they offer. Some of it is "point and click" but the real meat of the action is their editor where you program your own stuff. It's based on the Basic programming language. It's not the strongest programming language, but it's among the easiest to learn.

You can actually get a free version of it and get started today. Your computer must be Windows and have DirectX installed (also free, offered on site). You cannot make games for consoles here.

If there was one weakness that bugged me with the software, it's that you can't design your own characters, though other sites offer software that can and can be imported into Game Creators programs.

Also, the company itself I believe is actually in England. I made a purchase from the States and my bank actually seized my account for twenty four hours because the transaction was flagged as suspicious. It wasn't anyone's fault, and the matter was quickly remedied, but don't be surprised if this happens to you.
