LÖVE

My names Khaz, I'm trying to finally make my dream a reality. I figured I would start with A programming language my friend told me was relatively easy to learn (Lua) and I figured I would say to the community c:
I'm intent on creating my game to be perfect no matter what it takes or how long c: I'd like to get to know people here and maybe get some help or start a collab project!
But that'll be in time! For now I leave you all with this, its a sketch for my game.

I've never conversed with a cardboard box before.

Welcome to LÖVE and lua. For a quick a speedy learning curve (which is something lua is great for!) I suggest checking out Getting Started, http://www.lua-users.org/wiki/TutorialDirectory and of course the http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html. You might want to read through the tutorials before reading the manual. This might seem a little odd but lua-users is written in a more user-friendly style.

A great way to get started is to grab yourself a lua terminal and pass some basic commands to it. By playing with variables and print() you can see the output of your experiments quickly and easily. Always have a terminal open when reading tutorials so you can play with the examples.

Most of all, make sure you have fun!

Hello ! What really helps you too is looking at other peoples code, just to get a feel for everything, and to learn how progrmamming actually looks like !
And by 'looking' I mean : 'reading and trying to understand it'

Welcome!
And make sure not to miss PiL!

Good luck, I definitely hope that you make your game open source http://github.com <<< HERE!!!! so that other people can contribute to making the game better. I assure you that once its on that site, you'll get plenty of pull requests from me.

Welcome
