I haven't started to learn code yet.

That is on my to-do list.

You might also this a look at pixtel and clip studio paint. I am using both.

There is a section on here about education and resources. The first entry is one with lots of tutorials and also his list of software.

Hope this helps.

You seem to have followed my footsteps or I have followed yours. I had skipped most of those steps to get something made and then when I found out how easy it was, I proceeded to tackle something larger without any plan.

Now I need to begin all over and plan things ot before I begin the next project.

I do have all those resources though.

Thanks,

Ken

Have you ever begum a project and later found yourself completely gone from it and headed down another path with no real path back to where you started?

I think I was making a game using another program (RPG Maker) and I ended up on Construct2 ( which was a good move).

From there I was making a platform game and decided to make my own sprites because my son said the ones I was using looked like the ones that came with the program.

This led me to drawing and Sprite making programs which seems to be where I am now EXCEPT I forgot the flow of the original game .

Now I am learning how to make Sprites and getting my drawing back up to par and have completely lost track of where I was.

This morning I was looking at new programs ( I have more than I need now except a music one and I think I have that one too somewhere.) to make my work flow more smoothly.

Maybe the only program I have missing is a daily planner.

Have you ever had this problem and how did you fix it?

The only problem I have with the videos is the background music drowns out your voice. It may just be my bad ears though. Otherwise they are great.

Thank you.

Ken.

The above post was made when I was on my table with a headset.

On my computer the volumes are fine and the tutorials are wonderful.

Thank you for them.

Ken

The version they have now just came out a few months ago.

I animated a circle today with Synfig.

Ken

I came across the new version of Synfig today while trying to find an alternative to Spriter.

I cannot figure that one out.

I was wondering if anyone here is using it.

Ken

I have pretty much decided after this discussion and reading some of the Krita book to go with Krita, Spriter and Construct2.

That gives me 3 programs to learn.

Thanks for giving my thoughts some validity.

Ken

I forgot to say Thanks for the help.

Ken

I have been reading a book on Krita and it looks like I will be using that.

I have a very old copy of Photoshop from 1999 that I may use. I also have Spriter to make animations.

Now I need to live long enough to learn these and decide how I want the game to look.

I think there is a long road ahead.

To answer your first question, I am not quitting, just taking a detour again.

Ken

( If you are wondering about the age reference, I am 75 and not in the best physical condition.)

I forgot to ask the main question.

What is the difference between them?

Is one better than the other for making sprites?
