in Introductions

Hey everyone! I'm new to this and everything about making games. I just wanted to start something up as a hobby and have been trying learn and comprehend everything on your forums, to handbooks, and even youtube videos! I've downloaded the free software about a month ago and have been playing around on it while watching the videos. Even though everything is brand new and I have to teach myself everything and on my own time I must say, I'm very excited and interested about everything about this. It's so neat and cool about the "behind the scenes" into making a game that I never thought I could actually get into. Well if anyone has any tips, suggestions, or would like to mentor me one on one I would love that greatly. I'm easy to work with and have great ideas and a wide imagination. Please inbox me. Thanks everyone for your time!

    Thats the way to do it, I highly recommend Jamie Cross tutorials. When you are close to choosing what kind of game you want to build check out "DeepBlueApps" for templets, good luck! :)

    Thank you! I will be sure to check it out soon. But I'm really close to closing in on a game idea though! I actually have a couple written down so far. Just need more help on creating characters.

    Welcome to the community. Don't try to start on too big of an idea, work on a small project until you get the hang of it. Best of luck!

    Thanks a lot everyone! @Lovejoy yeah I was thinking the same. I was going to try and immolate a couple small ones on you tube first before I start actually creating. It's still a bit confusing and trying to get the hang of things but it's so exciting to learn!
