Hey, Sleepingninja!

It looks like you're new. Welcome to GameDev.

You say that you are dedicated. Whenever you decide that you want to make a game,
dedication is prime. If you lose interest in your project, then you will eventually quit it. So, if things don't work out as planned, don't get discouraged.

Now, about your other post about making a tetris game. You can actually go about it in different ways. Watch this video to see what's best for you.

Sleepingninja, you say you want to know more about writing scripts. Since you are talking about story writing, I would first assume that you mean writing dialogue, plots, etc. However, you also mentioned MMORPGs, which quite commonly use scripting languages to actually code the story and dialogue elements into the game. Just to be clear, do you mean writing story elements, or writing the code that powers those story elements in a game? (It is confusing how the two can be ambiguous in game development for sure).
It sounds like sleeping ninja is talking about script writing. There for writing the code that powers those story elements in a game.
