Yo, I'm Cine Beast.
I'm a huge fan of AGDI and their King's Quest games, so I thought I'd take a crack at using AGS. I downloaded it just 2 days ago, but I feel that I'm making fast progress. I'm making a test game (I don't intend to upload it, just dabble around in it until I'm confident enough to work on something bigger) and have gotten the hang of the basics.
I'm not much of a programmer, so I'm very impressed with AGS: it holds your hand for most of the game design, and the scripting is straightforward (although I have yet to get into Global Variables).
I've been watching the video tutorials by Densming, and they're a huge help, although they're now a little out of date, so I've had to blunder around a bit.
I draw my sprites and backgrounds in GIMP, and am currently using sounds and music from some licensed video games. I have SONAR, so I can totally write my own music, I'm just very inexperienced at it, and this is a test game anyway.
I have some prior game designing experience because of my time with Mark Overmars' Game Maker, which I practiced with for 3 years before becoming overwhelmed: my brother continues to use it, though, and I have a hunch he'd love AGS too.
I'm glad to be here!
