I think you have answered your own question there,maybe...?

First of all, slow down a little and secondly and i'm sure you have heard this expression before "you only get out of something what you have put into it".

Sorry for talking like this but a little for-thought and effort goes a long way.

I wish you the best in your future projects and stick at it because you might supprise yourself.

All the best of luck

I'm new to FPSC, only had it a few weeks, but one lesson I learnt was that you need to get a understanding of how the program works, and what it can/can't easily do. I had a entire game story mapped out, but quickly realised it would take me years to finish something so ambitious.

So my own newbie advice would be to start small and read everything - all the info on the forums, the Hints & Tips guide etc If you jump into FPSC expecting it to be able to do exactly what you want straight away you'll be disappointed and disheartened. Some of the excellent stuff in Showcase demonstrates what's possible with patience, however.
