Hello game developers around the world,

I'm new to gaming industry (in making game, of course), can you help me getting started. What do I need to learn (the basics) fundamentals before getting into game development industry, even the ones that sound too basic to be included. If you have viewed my earlier post (what game engine should a beginner try first?), you probably think "why is this idiot haven't move on from basic questions", but I just want to take a step back, trying to know all the fundamentals lessons I might miss. I think knowing game engine is good and deciding which one to try first is a good start for beginners but I want to know some fundamentals lessons that can be learn before even using a game engine or even making a game.

One more question, which computer language that is very suitable for making games in general or to broaden things up, what are all the computer languages that most game developers use for making their games? 

Thank you

That depends on what kind of game job you want to get. I wrote an article about what you need to learn: http://www.sloperama.com/advice/lesson34.htm

Are you saying that you want to be a programmer? Not a game designer or producer or artist, or to work in audio or testing?

So, It sounds like your asking us what your getting into, before you get into it.

The question you should be asking yourself isn't what is the best language or engine or what do you need to know going in.

You should be asking yourself why you want to do game development.

There are a plethora of  roles and things that you can learn, each contingent on what role you ultimately find yourself doing. 

It all depends on what you want to accomplish, and how long you are willing and able to dedicate to it.

No one has the patience or time to tell you every language, engine, or tool that can be possibly used.

Each has it''s pros and cons, each has it's time and place.

If your looking at where to start, start with a GDD (game design Document), see if you can put down on paper all the plans and Ideas you have for making a specific game in an organized way.

If however your also asking about life lessons, it's not possible for anyone to tell you every lesson that you will ever need to know.  You will learn a lot of them by simply going through the process.

How are we to know what lessons apply to your situation before you have started?

I'm getting the strong  feeling you have a fear of failure mentality, hence your approach,  

Figure out what your specialty could be, and go from there.
