Hi there, I just started to download the free version and thought it would be nice to browse the forum to see if I can pick up any hints. Personally I have not much of an idea of how to do things, but I've got ideas for days and want somewhere to test them out, that's when I found a tumblr post with a bunch of "how to get started making your own game" stuff and now I'm here. I've always wanted to get into making games, but game degrees cost a lot of money, so yeah going for the whole teach myself by fooling around with the software approach.
GL, HF!
