New to GS and developing Games

IRurG

Hi all

Decided i want to make the leap from playing games (since i have done all my life since the spectrum ZX) to actually making them.

i decided the type of games I want to make are best suited to the mobile platform and thus after reading and checking out every iOS and android SDK that's available, Gamesalad was a no brainer, even out doing unity by a huge margin in my opinion.

I've got an idea of the first title i want to make and would really like some feedback pre-development to see if it is a market worth catering for, i don't know where i should post that idea on these forums so any help navigating would be much appreciated

Regards

Scott

Re your first query you could just try the "Announce your game" category for that or "Working with GameSalad". I'm sure we'll all be happy to help.

Check out the CookBook for awesome tutorials on the basics of the creator.

Also download the new Manuals for nifty advice & instructions on the creator.

Dont be afraid to post anything on the forums, Whether it be a cry for help or a suggestion.

Don't forget to check out http://deepblueapps.com & http://gshelper.com
See you around

Welcome to the forums!

Thank you both heaps, i have been going over gshelper and deepblueapps constantly and and various other resources, all great help and good reference material

i will being doing everything from scratch (due to the nature of the game i wish to make) and i would like to give something back to GS on my first game by releasing all art work and tiles for free (mainly due to the fact what i want i haven't really seen anything close to what i need for my first game) once the game launches

All help (which i will probably need lots lol) and MOST importantly criticism will be welcomed with open arms.

I'm off to post in the game announcement section to put across my idea and see what people think

Regards

It'll be an invaluable help to you for those little systems here and there that you might need help with.

Good luck - look forward to seeing what game you're coming up with!
