Before get start with new project, have a seat and think about your project. "What is my goal going to be?" , "What do i want to" , "What type of game i want to develop"...

It should be a TDS (top down shooter) or platform game (like mario). After you have dediced that imagine your game. What you see? Is there any enemies that trying to attack you?


I always prefer making sprites before start writting scripts of my game. It is a personal choice. Because i think making sprites before writing mechanism is more effective. Even sounds. In summary i complete the game resources before writting ai's or game mechanism.

Concentrate game tile's, levels, graphics etc. You will see, you will develop your projects more easily.
