Hi Game Salad from a Web Designer

dreevedreeve Member Posts: 9
Hi Guys,

Game Salad newb here, stumbled across the site a few days ago since then have been scouring around looking at all the games and fantastic work. Deciding it was long enough being the nerdy kid at a school dance, (sitting on the plastic chairs peering in at everyone else, oooo the flashbacks!) I would dive into the middle of the dance floor... bust a move & give a big howdy!

Reason for my running man... I mean signup.

I work as a Web Designer, most of my work centres around web visuals (shock!) but have a BIG passion for illustrations. They have come in very handy across my career and are a big hobby of mine. I have always wanted to create my own iPhone game purely for a fun, but have never got my head around the coding/dev side. I managed to bodge/hack my way into a flash based game just so I could create all the visuals. Feel free to check it out...

http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1369503498 - takes a min to load.

My plan for now... Grab some GS game templates, rip the visuals apart and replace them with my own stuff and generally start getting to grips with the application. I look forward being part of the Game Salad community. If there are any coders who are looking for an artist like myself to work on projects feel free to give me a shout.

DReeve Out!

    Welcome to GS! I'm sure with the apps familiar with web design, you'll get a grip on GS quickly. I'm sure your suite of web design apps will marry with your GS needs just fine.
