I'll eat up all the ice cream that you've got on your shelf, so just let me introduce myself...

Hey there salad peoples! I discovered GameSalad while watching Extra Credits, a video series about games and how to make them better.
http://www.penny-arcade.com/patv/show/extra-credits
While pursuing my computer science degree I've learned that the less code you write, the better, and for the game that I've been wanting to make it seems like I probably shouldn't have to write any code at all.
I want to make a platformer, hopefully with some rpg-like elements. I don't want to just include experience points, levels, earned abilities, and the like. I also want to add dialog and simple cut-scenes. For me, a video game is best when it's basically an interactive cartoon or movie. That's just what I want to create, something simple that allows me to tell a fun and engaging story. One that uses the interactivity of a video game to further engage the player in character's lives and the plot.
I'm hopeful that GameSalad will allow me to do this faster than I otherwise would by letting me focus on what I feel is important, rather than spending time writing my version of code that has existed in various forms for 20+ years.
