Hello All,

I was googling a couple of days ago, looking for software to create FPS games, and found this site. I joined immediately.

Saw the great deals on Dark Studio Bonanza and FPS Creator Bonanza and purchased both last night. I can't pass up a good deal.

I just finished downloading everything that could be downloaded, now curious as to where I should start.

Any ancient wisdom, advice, or suggestions would be welcome.

I am a software developer by trade, and have always wanted to develop games, but didn't want to reinvent the wheel in order to do so. These tools look to be pretty amazing.

Glad to find a community of people into what I am into. Hopefully I have found a home here.

Thanks in advance,
Groovegeek

First you should check the Operating System Compatibility Thread:
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=160566&b=1

and after you have everything installed and set up, TDKs tutorials seem to be a good place to start:
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=99497&b=10

And it's always good to have a look around on the forum: Study code snippets other people post, look at the WIP and Program Announcment board... and have fun here

Don't get discouraged with dark basic when you start your first project. Once you understand whats happening, why and how to make it happen slightly differently it starts to get fun!
