Hi all,

I am on the verge or buying DarkBASIC Pro because I want to get in to game creation. But one thing is stopping me, I am no artist

Would there be any point in even getting this software if I am no artist. Meaning my games are obviously going to be board / puzzle because I dont have the ability to create cool looking charactors.

Just want your opinions

there are many free utilities out there... i bought DBP... got 3D studio from work... and Photoshop 7... along with other miscellaneous programs... and i SUCK at art! but there are many places to get free objects, characters, textures, and all kinds of stuff... many people on the forums help out when they can... so i would say go for it...

Art is also my weakness but you can use a lot of predefined graphics, models etc from Dark Matter & it sequel.

Naturally im a pretty good artist and I can program fairly well. Obviously these skills go together but the desire to create outweighs the lack of artistic skill.

yu could either:

a) Find premade models/sprites on the internet

b) When you have a project going, and I mean it looks promising, then put a thread in the TEAM REQUESTS board looking for someone to do your art for you. Many people on this board are happy to help other people with their skills.

ZEDWARE website coming soon... //END TRANSMISSION//
