I'm new to Multimedia Fusion (Although I do have experience in other makers) & would like to know which type of game is best to make as my first game? A platformer or a scrolling shooter?

Oh & yeah I should probably introduce myself, my name is Rezza & I'm an old friend of Leric's (Actually I'm using his PC right now & he's the one who told me about this site in the first place, he also said that he barely ever posts here even though he comes here to download games on a daily bases so you all may not know him).

I would just start to make something simple. try using the platform movement to make a simple platformer, if you know someone in persion that knows how to code, then be his best friend and make him help you

Both a platformer and shooter should be fairly easy to make. Once you have some experience in the program, I suggest coding your own engine.

One problem with MMF is that if you make a game with so or so many levels, then decide to modify the engine, you have to change it in EVERY single level. That's why it's a good idea to get the engine done first thing.

So, make a crap first game, release it to the crapware community, then continue on your second... It should be not yet perfect, but less crap.

Ok then platformer it is.

@Phizzy - Is there a certain reason why you called me a bitch? Or is that just your crude way of saying hello?

Btw that last Leric post was me Rezza but since I'm using AOL now (I was using Mozilla Fire Fox at first) I mistakenly posted as Leric (you know auto log in).

EDIT: Damn did it again!!!

It's also a rite of passage to make a breakout game.
Just don't post it here.

But what if it's a good breakout game? Then can I post it here?

Well I didn't like the first game (I didn't play the second game since it seemed to be a homo basher...literally).
First off there wasn't any music & the only sound effecs were weird bings & stuff. Also the ball went threw the blocks sometimes when you hit them & it all seems way to slow & there's not really anything original added to make it stand out. Also you spelled level wrong.
Oh & why does that special menu need to load so long? Did you actually just do it yourself with a counter or is it actually loading.

If this is the best breakout game there is then I'm pretty sure I can make a better one (um...no offense Nuklear). So I'll consider making one of the platformer idea becomes to hard for me.

you really shouldn't make a breakout game. If it's good though, w/e.

 
thinking is like pong, it's easy, but you miss sometimes.

I would start with some Ultima like game, because with mmf you can make such thing as "hit with mace: damage 10!"

(tgf didn't let me add values of specified counter to a list object)

I recommend you start with a top down shooter, they are often the easiest to make and require little clicking knowledge.
