Okay, a lot of people like to create their own games and storylines, instead of just making real games into projects. A few tips:

When you create a game, make sure it doesn't have weird initials, example:

Peter's Orange Otter (from) Paris!

Make sure you have a cool looking main character:

(That was the Prince of Persia)

Also, make sure you have a good storyline, unlike this:

BOB

BOB GOES TO WORK

BOB TAKES A SHOWER

BOB EATS DINNER

BOB DIES

Thanks, and have fun, new scratchers!

A little tip 2 new scratchers: Variables! Always use them, and learn how 2 use them!

here are some examples that are very usefull:
<{x velocity}>
<{y velocity}>

First you need an idea. Here are some questions to get you started:
For who, is the project? What is it about? Who are/is the character(s)? Where is it located? lol

Don't listen before you know what is supposed to be meant!!!
Don't use them for EVERY little thing, just use them for the things that change!

If you name a variable x velocity or y velocity, nothing special will happen. You actually have to create scripts that actually make use of them! (there are many tutorials, just go to all about scratch)

Darkewalker1, please explain your post a bit more, and give correct information.

Very nice tips. ^^

fireball123 · 2010-01-28 16:30:28

ypu probably want to add more. You should add more, and about more important subjects, since the ones you have currently just scratch the surface

fishmonk · 2010-01-28 16:32:02

look for people who have projects dedicated to helping others make games. for platforming, i suggest searching archmage.

dont be dissapointed if your project doesnt look that good, nobody can make a project with graphics that good.

Nobody can make a project with graphics that good? WRONG. It's possible, but the file size would make the game short.

Well, Yeah... but your character should be more than, say, a dot.

Actually, a very popular game (over 100 love its) has a dot for the main character.

Which one? is it flea? because that might be the only exeption. If you have a really stupid character(a dot) you must make up for it in programming
