Game Development

Hello /prog/ I'm interested in creating a game and I was wondering what a good start would be. I'm a programmer but I've never done any game development before so this is new to me and what better place to ask then /anus/.

For this I don't exactly care if I have to learn another programming lang but it is preferable that it's not pig disgusting. Suggestions?

There's only one game: Das Glasperlenspiel. Do that. Spend your life doing that. Don't waste time with silly amusements.
