Not really sure how this works, I have never really made a game before. I have a really good idea, but I am going to need help creating it or at least someone to help me do some things, so if anyone is interested contact me ASAP.

    Hello, Gamesalad is designed such that almost everyone can create games on their own :)
    I'm pretty sure once you study up a bit about using Gamesalad (trust me, it's really easy and fun, as it is designed to be) you can make a game :) the only persistent barrier is that if you don't have the necessary skills to produce your own Art/Sounds, you will definitely need the services of others.

    Anyway, since I really want you to learn everything there is to learn about using Gamesalad, I strongly urge you to:
    - Read through the entirety of the Gamesalad Cookbook. Most of the things you'll need, you'll find it in there.
    - Spend some time watching tutorial videos on YouTube. Here are some pretty solid channels to browse through:
    Gamesalad CookBook channel
    jamie_c's Channel
    tshirtbooth's Channel
    FryingBaconStudio's channel

    After that, try your hand at it and see how much you can do on your own. Afterwards, list down the things you are having trouble with and ask around here again and we'll be more than happy to assist you :)

    Goodluck!

    I have a feeling that you won't get the response your hoping for, because it's your first post, and you give the impression that you haven't put any effort at all into seeing how easy it might be to do it yourself.

    GameSalad with a little bit of patience is quite easy to pick up, and there's plenty of tutorials written, and on YouTube that will help with certain features of a game. There's also plenty of free templates for complete games and specific features which can be found with a forum or Google search. It's not a steep learning curve.

    People here are more likely to help when you're stuck on a specific thing, and you're messages clearly state what that thing is, and what you've tried to do to get it to work.

    Try not to rush into GameSalad with the mindset of making your first awesome game idea in one go without any problems. I myself wouldn't even recommend working on your game idea until you've played around with it and created several mini projects that each contain at least one feature from your final game idea.

    All that being said, good luck with your game.
