Hi! I'm a long time visitor, first time community member! You can call me D-Boy Wheeler.
Also, not too long ago, I started teaching myself to program games (mainly with Game Maker, but I hope to learn Adventure Game Studios soon, so this'd probably be a great resource).
I like to do fan games, which I consider practice for when I start making games that are uniquely my own idea. In fact, right now I'm doing my second game overall, but first game that's entirely my own idea.
But yeah, I'll have to consider this place if I find myself in over my head and can't do sprites on my own... though I guess it couldn't hurt to make up some tilesets (they'll be simple tilesets, like those in NES and Master System/Game Gear style games).
But enough about myself... anyone want to introduce themselves?
