What sort of game do you have in mind, if its a 2D platformer or something similar id recommend Game Maker, you can make quite a lot without any programming. But anything more complex (I.E. FPS or anything 3D) your looking at programming and a lot of it. Making a game is not a walk in the park, it requires dedication, research and good organisational skills (as well as technical and artistic knowledge). If you aren't very good at programming find someone to help you, build a team. Alternatively you could stick with mods, instead of building a game from the base, edit a previous game where programming will be minimal (depending on your scope).
Good luck!
Good luck!
I worked with Game Maker before it became a shareware program, it's great for learning the basics of game development. If you can afford to buy a copy, and you have the drive, you can make some seriously cool stuff with it. Best of luck, I don't think I'd be able to help you much with learning the processes. I basically taught myself with GM.
It really depends on what kind of game you are making. There is Gamemaker which has been suggested already, which is good for 2d stuff. RPG Maker for...RPGs. And if you are going for anything in the realm of shooters, you can pick up UDK. It's a ***** to learn and if you want to do anything beyond a straight Unreal Tournament mod, you're going to need to learn to program. Not knowing how to code at all is going to severely limit your options here. My advice would be to make a game in Gamemaker and learn C++ as you are doing so.
Everything mentioned above seems more along the terms of level designing/modding instead of actually making a game. If you are wanting to build a game from scratch, it is a shit ton of work. I've heard Python is a rather easy programming language to learn (I've looked into it a tiny bit and picked it up pretty fast, but I already know C#) and they have Pygame which is designed for writing games.
