Just wondering if there was anyone out there who could help give me a point to start from in terms of making my own games. I can kinda use Game Maker, and have some tutorials for that, but I was wondering if there were any other ways to go?

most game designers would nowadays take a three year uni course specializing in programing.
right now play around with game maker learn the concepts of game-play and such the best you can start the portfolio (seriously a portfolio of work you've done will help if you want a carer in games, even if it is just a flash game)
i would also recommend learning a programing language, c++ would be best but c# of java is still good as they will get you use to the way things are done.

From my own experience I can tell you that Game Maker greatly helps you understand the logic of programming games and even programming in general. Personally, I'd try to do and learn as much from Game Maker as possible before moving on to something more serious, since it is many times easier to make a game in Game Maker than pretty much anything else. And although it has its limits, it'll take you quite a while to start noticing them. Otherwise, it is best to take a uni programming and game design course. Doing both would probably be ideal.
