Default I am a horrible game creator.

i have never completed a game. Ever. Except blob bash.
Why?
just a few reasons:
Copyright issues, for the fact that fan games are ussually frowned opon, and that i cant make graphics, music, or anything for that matter.
i dont have very many tools to make games, and i really am just bad at using them.
bugs, errors, Everything i do mess's up.
Games becoming to complicated, and if i think up a simple idea, that becomes complicated as well.

So....What should i do?
Quit making games?
No....This is one of the reasons i like life.
So what? I can do many things. but i seem...To be horrible at all of them. i try, and try, and practice, and practice.....The only logical answer is to reboot my brain.
Whats that you ask?
Completley erase all idea's and thoughts, manually, getting rid of everything cluttering space. technically....I'll quit doing everything i like to do.
Make games, draw, Write.
Everything i just utterly am horrible at.
But doing that would mess up everything. Rebooting your brain breaks a link in the world, witch will mess up other peoples lives.
meaning....
I need to make games through building on.
No ideas.
nor simple, or complex.
Just think up something, a small step at a time.
Such as
The main characters name is Skye.
He's a kid living in the future.
He is kidnapped, and then genetically altered.
but he doesnt know that and it doesnt become a factor in the game till later.
Small steps. Like:
the menu has 3 features, Inventory, Save, and Quit.
The Health is a heart symbol.
He can level up to level 20, and the game uses small numbers to avoid confusion.

Get it?
but that can have problems too....so...what do i do?

That is definitely not the place to start if you want to learn to make games! This article sounds like exactly what you need: http://www.gamedev.net/reference/des...res/makegames/
