Hello from Philly

sndaniels

Hello,
I'm Sterling from Philadelphia. I'm interested in a text based story writing game. However, I don't see how to get started. How do I even insert the background image I want for my game? Thanks for any genuine help.

Go watch the videos over at http://www.youtube.com/user/GameSaladCookbook?ob=0
There are loads of great Gamesalad resources, that should be your starting point though

p.s. Welcome, ask lots of questions! Looking forward to seeing what you can create.

Welcome!, Philly is a great place!

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.'" — Irish Saying St. Patricks Day Thread

Welcome!

I believe there are also some templates available for story books, but you should better start with the cookbook...

Greetings! @sndaniels

everything (objects/elements in a scene) are actors …
add [+] an actor … import an image … drag the image to the actor … drag the actor to the scene … set size and position in the actor's Attribute pane.

as all have advised: do the tutorials in the Cookbook … and videos …
and down load the GS Manual

Enjoy yourself!
