1)Be imaginative. You don't want to create a game that's already been created ten times before. Exercise your creative thought by writing, drawing and thinking a lot.
2)Expand your knowledge. Many game designers have interests in subjects other than video games and computers, such Science, History, Music, Literature...etc. This has a big effect on game design because it improves your creative skills -- the more knowledge you have of other subjects, the more you will be able to create more original games based around the knowledge that you have. So you will need to examine what subjects interest you and then you can move on to the next step.
3)Play as many different video games as you can, instead of just playing the games that you like, and think critically about them. Ask yourself why do you not like certain games? You will begin to understand what makes a game enjoyable or not enjoyable. Also play old and new games, try to analyse how games have changed over the years, not much really.
4)Learn about the business of designing a game, research game design documents on the internet, and see how the classics were put onto paper before the process of being programmed.

I posted this so you guys can design Communist, Anarchist, and Antifa propaganda video games. I dunno, go have fun. =) Make a Red Secondlife or something, and destroy capitalism with your PS2 Remote Control.

Hmmm yes, well it isn't really all that simple to create proper games. You need good equipment and qualified game designers need to spend years at uni on computing courses. I've looked into it. That's what I used to want to do as a career.

A very long while ago, I used to mess with a program called Game Maker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Maker). I guess it try's to narrow down game design into a more user-friendly thing. Many simple tasks are on a drag and drop system. For more complex operations, it has its little programminng language (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Maker_Language).

I forget which Revleft member created Mutiny at Sector 5 (http://sector5.redapollo.org/), but it has some not-so-subtle overtones. And then of course, there is this. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Mutants_from_Space)

COMMUNIST MUTANTS FROM SPAAAACE!


But of course, you should try making a video game with the Reality Factory thing.

I do IT at university and know some people who do Games Design, and the work they have to do for their course is immense. Plus they have to have a very good knowledge of maths.

'The communist mutant armies are controlled by the Mother Creature, a strange alien who has gone mad due to irradiated vodka.' hehehe.
