My dream is to become a RPG maker, but it'll never happen despite what people tell me. I can't get $15, 360 to take a course to learn that stuff. But, I'm not allowed to get a job, and I could never get that much money. Oh, and I'm not an adult so I can't go to TAFE!

So, wait until you're older, and start by reading books from the library on game design. Start writing a story up, or thinking of characters. Think about how gameplay'd go....

There's no books in the library about that sort of thing.

Mayhap your mother may actually allow you to order one through a bookshop?

No money coming in on my step-dad's thingy, so we're poor.

Well, just write down/type-up your ideas for an RPG......

Do creature design, story, etc...

Good idea. But it'll never help my dream come true.

It may start you on the path. I do know they have a branch of Krome Studios in Adelaide. No vacancies present yet except for a senior animator, but a few years from now, well, who knows?

Fine then, I won't suggest anything if you reject them for no reason other than perhaps location.

Why don't you try to get your SACE and a decent TER and, in a couple of years, a part-time job, and then maybe you can move to Adelaide and go to uni? In fact, you're in Murray Bridge aren't you? I've known someone to commute from there to go to uni.

She doesn't go to school, for some reasons....

And if you're jealous of Adelaide, why should that stop you from seeking a job/education there later?

im sure the internet has some informative sites...

and like it was mentioned... come up with your game storylines...

the easy part is being the programmer... the hard part (the part they pay money for!!) is coming up with quality material to base storylines off of and character design (in otherwords... artwork)

don't turn your imagination off so easily.... :o
