new game idea

Game Chef

Hi i'm new to game salad and i was just wondering if i could get some feedback for a game idea i have. I have been looking at sprite attack's tutorials to have a go at creating the main character who is a Dwarf. The game will be based on upgrading your dwarf and going to different mines which unlock over time to uncover more secrets. I was wondering how i could add some more detail to my dwarf or any extra'. i wanna make armor, tools and equipment which can be bought in a shop but that will be later on. Also I'm not sure how to attach the image without it coming up as a link.

Thx

Welcome!

Sounds like a big task for a first project. I recommend you start with something a bit simplier, and when you get the hang of how stuff works in GS, move to bigger things.

The game idea sounds great though.

Since you're not a PRO member, you have to upload your images to a image hosting site and then link it here on the forums. PRO members can drag and drop files straight in to the forum comments.

Watch lots of video tutorials that really helps learning.

thanks Nipa, i think i will have a go at something easier to become more familiar with the software and maybe upload it and become a pro member later.

@Game Chef, welcome. I agree with the others, I'd start smaller and spend some time learning Gamesalad and just what it takes to finish a full project before you jump into such a detailed game.

I like the sound of it though so hopefully you get to it eventually!
