Me and my mates wanna make a video game. How?

Question

I own a game called Gunman Chronicals. It was designed and made by a crew called rewolf, made up from people around the world who had never met. Ever. So it should be easy for me and some mates to make one. Right?

Anyway. How will we get started?

Answer 1

Wrong.

Do any of your "mates" have programming experience? There's more to making games than just coming up with an idea and drawing some sprites.
