Hi,

I was wondering which programs (besides Gamesalad creator) should I learn to use in order to make a decently designed game (eg. photoshop, Adobe Fireworks, etc.)?

Thank you, and I am sorry if this discussion has been posted before.

Illustrator, and Photoshop are pretty important for Art

Anything else? What about animation programs?

You can make good animations in photoshop. Still you can try flash for that

SnapFireStudios

It really depends on the game that you're making. As a general guideline though, Photoshop is a must, and it's not all too complicated, compared to some other things.

I would also recommend after effects for promo videos.
