Yeah I'm quite serious. If not Frameboxx then where else do we go? I've heard really -ve reviews about Maac after it got bought out by Arena. What do you mean by 'outside' ? If you mean abroad then I'm not quite too sure.... Don't they charge 10 - 20 lakhs over there?

Thanks for tutorial sites :)

u know programming ? i mean c++ or some other Object Oriented programming...

if u don't know how to program then i suggest you to learn c++ using any basic book first (covering all the syntax etc) and write as much programs you can as writing programs will make u comfortable with programming then try to write some small games in c++( DOS BASED ) like tic tac toe etc or text based games, then read some good book like c++ for game programmers (excellent book on c++) ,then learn Data structures and then learn some graphgics API like DirectX(long learning curve ) or OpenGl.....

n if u need some advice or help PM me or email me at -> gamestill@yahoo.com[/email
