Hai.
I'm brand new to the community and to video-game-creating. But not to Zelda =] I love the zelda series and I think it would be an amazing tribute to make an excellent fangame.
I've closed examined a lot of the different options available and I think I've decided on GM8. Something more flexible than RPG Maker - but will still hold my hand in ways. I need something I can see and interact with, not a wall of code.
Though I have ideas and passion.. that's the end of the road. I know Photoshop and PHP, so I'm comfortable with graphics and the concepts of programming. I follow these tutorials online and they help, but only so far. I don't really understand how the concepts presented to me fit together as a whole. Like how does it all fit together? I kind of understand what to do with the elements by themselves, but I don't understand how they interact.
So I guess I'm looking for someone(s) that knows coding and/or spriting well that will endure my insanity and little questions; just to AIM or PM-esque. I don't know anyone within the game-making community ^^;
and just so this topic isn't devoid, here's my very first spriting and animation attempts:
I habe whole sheets done, but thought they might be overkill.
(yeah... it's just a modify, DON'T JUDGE ME. =D all great things start with small steps. *cough* long live the hat-strip!)I apologize if this topic is in the wrong spot, but I've been lurking for days and I really don't know where else to put it.
