I'm glad that my advice can help out. One good program that I enjoy is RPG Maker. It's a program that allows you to create your own video games, though you're typically stuck with making an RPG game with a simple battle system, but you can create games that don't need battles, or you can set up the battle system to where you're 'arguing' or something. You can even change the game play through scripting so that you have an entirely different game.
I currently use RPG Maker VX Ace Lite, which is a free, but limited, version that is useful for learning how to use the program.
