I used to be a SQL DB developer, wrote specs for others to develop front end websites into the SQL DB.
Now I want to create a 'game' to explore future scenarios about our world but having not gamed in many years I am trying to figure out where the hell to start. I looked at using flash <img src="smileys/smiley35.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> animation (say no more), I know in my mind what I want to achieve but have no real idea of how to go about it - I also want to send info about decisions users make during the game back into a DB. I have a year to produce a deliverable for user testing.
I think I might need it.
