Thanks for the tips :)

Though, feel free to come with any pointers, I wont chicken out even if Id need to read 200 books and memorize them...

I still could need advice in what software I should use, since I only been doing freeware so far. Id like to have the "real" stuff from the beginning, since even though I only will do exercises so far, I will feel more comfortable in it when I start the actual coding on the game.

Starting to get the hang of the basics, so far it has been quite simple, lets hope it continues that way... :P

Good advice is to work a couple of programming jobs, and try and get a job working for a game company. You'll learn more by doing it on someone elses dime, and you'll be able to pay the bills in the mean time.

After you have all the skills that you need, then start creating this thing on your own.

This model has worked very well for me, and your description of your previous experience has some parallels with my experience learning programming too, so it might work well for you too.

Most importantly, stay focused and follow all projects to their completion if possible.

BradSnobar>> You got any advice on how to get to work at a gamecompany? So far I understand I need to show them something I created, which isn´t much so far. Well, a program created in Visual C++.net that calculates the area of a circle, but I don't think that will impress anyone :P
The good part of working for someone else would be (I guess) that I have to work the 8 hours every day, but the bad thing is that I might get bored if Im forced to do something...
Thoguh, Im not at that point yet, maybee I can show something up in a year or two. But I still got the problem that I will never have any papers to show which confirms whatever I learnt/will learn.

Others>> I Still need som advice on the software-part :P anyone got any good advice they would like to share?

Its difficult to get into a game company without a programming degree (college level), its going to be near impossiable to get in without a highschool deploma. Just want you to keep that in mind.
