Default Re: Looking for insight, suggestions on game designing

I see my future as game designing as well. I'm still in HS, so I'm getting as much knowledge as I can.
I've also read that you def need knowledge in C++ for XBLA.

So far, I've been working in Microsoft Visual Studio, pirated of course, which can be effectively be worked in for Visual basic, C, C++, C#, etc.
Microsoft also has a (free) express version for exclusively the C++ language which you might want to look into if you're not into the whole illegal thing..

Download whichever studio, and start on these tutorials.
I've found codingmix.com to be the most effective tutorial website wade into C++ without any previous programming knowledge. Try it out, let me know how it works out for you.
