Hello,

I'm Vyr and i'm really excited to be part of the GS community !
I was going all around the forums looking for some tutorials and other free templates and such and I finally decided to jump in !

I just wanted to say, from all I saw on the forums that it looks like a community full of dedicated and talented people, thanks for that ! It's a real pleasure to be part of it now !

About me, I'm a chill french dude, 24 years old working in graphics design. I always wanted to "make games" since I was a child, like many others here from what I saw and that's great to see so much passion !
I don't know how to code or do some programming, just the basics of HTML/CSS for some web design for my job but that's it :sweat_smile: so GS is perfect for me !
The UI is easy to get used to but I got lost on the game-making point themselves with it.

So, i'm also here to ask for some help... I just downloaded GS (Basic 0.10.5) and I have this project that I thought and wrote down, but I have some trouble getting the basics of the software, I'm currently going through the Cookbook section, is that a good start ?

Can you lead me to some great tuts or templates I should try out ?

Thanks ! :smiley:

    Welcome to the mad house!

    The cookbook is a great start to learn, many people skip it and spend more time asking how to do things than learning how to do them. Digest the cookbook then start with a few simple templates.

    www.deepblueapps.com

    www.deepbluemarketplace.com

    www.gshelper.com

    are some of the best and contain a lot of good content. There are a few other sites out there too, but these are a good starting point. The first 2 have great customer service too...

    There are plenty of tutorials around. Google is your friend for this one, im sure someone will link up a few here for you.

    Welcome @Vyr!

    Don't forget youtube. There as sooo many dedicated community members with excellent content, it is unfair to highlight only some.

    But the videos by "Jamie Cross" and the evergreen "TShirtBooth" are great for a beginner to get his head around GS.

    As a second step go through the logic videos by @The_Gamesalad_Guru‌ not to pick up bad habits.

    And stay away from Pro till you are 100% sure you are ready. And even then...............ask them when they are coming out of beta.
