Hey guys,

Pleasure to meet you all, I'm Pedro.

Me and my friend decided to adopt Game Salad as the engine of choice to make our game :)!

However we just started at this. We're both 2D Animators so we know a thing or two about Art department, but we don't know about making the game as a whole.

We're planning on making a endless runner (for example Monster Dash) and we wanted some advice on how we could accomplish it.

We wanted to know where do we start with the Asset development, and how do we get the game to play like a endless runner! (With shooting mechanics, we've been doing some vector guns and wanted to learn how to use them!)

If you guys could help us it would amazing! We're planning on purchasing the Pro version once our very first game is finished!

Thanks again!

    Welcome!

    There is a basic endless runner tutorial you may want to check out:

    Hi there, welcome!

    I will suggest watching tutorial videos on YouTube from these links.
    https://www.youtube.com/user/GameSaladCookbook/
    https://www.youtube.com/user/Tshirtbooth/
    https://www.youtube.com/user/dsouza41/

    Just look at those that interest you, then try to follow along -- programming basic things with Gamesalad is pretty, well, basic! And you learn better by doing after all :smile:

    Once you've had your fill, I'm sure you'll end up having a pretty good idea of how Gamesalad logic works and what sort of game you should make for starters. I'm not saying you wouldn't be able to do an endless runner right off the bat, but there are easier genres to consider for your practice apps.

    Good luck and have fun!

    P.S. Also read through the Gamesalad cookbook when you have the time.
