You program it or find somebody else who likes it enough to program it. Everybody has an idea or thirteen when it comes to games, so the challenge is the implementation.
In terms of learning to program enough to make it, that can take anywhere from weeks to years, depending on the game's requirements and your aptitude.
Sam Lake did as much.
It's not something people hear about.
Say I have a script, characters, plot, and gameplay idea. What should I do now?

Look it over again, protect it legally, then pimp it to anyone whose number you can get.

Your best bet would be to somehow be employed with some part of the company, and then try to pimp it internally.

If you send people your script it will just get rejected and anything they find interesting about it will get swiped. Case in point: DS9 / B5. Mod fucked around with this message on 12-16-2004 at 05:01 AM.

Huh?

I'm pretty sure that he's trying to say that the B5 script was sent to paramount and they swiped the space station with multicutural occupants and constant interal strife rising to meet a challenge as a unified front concept for DS9. I had never heard that, but it makes sense.

JMS pitched the series to Paramount sending them pretty much a complete plot summary, Paramount rejected it but used a bunch of ideas from it to base DS9 plotlines on. (Defiant / White Star, Valen / Emissary, Shadows / Dominion). I'm not saying that DS9 is a copy of B5, most of it is original, they just apparently used some ideas from the plot JMS tried to sell them.
