Heh, don't feel too bad, I graduated from high school a couple of years ago. I take it that the majority of people here are in their early to mid teens. I'm not saying younger people don't do good stuff. I'm just saying I've had 21 years of experience of living on this earth, and a good chunck of those years I've been drawing, playing videogames, and dreaming up games and cartoons of my own. I just saw the screen shots of that Jazz Jackrabbit fan game you are making. I'm impressed . Not many years ago I was trying to make computer games with Qbasic (good beginners experience for learning programming). And I only made about two playable games, and a couple title screens that haven't gone any farther than that. If I saw what you were doing back then, I would have thought you were the high guru of game creation . (that, and I would be even more wowed about someone making a jazz jackrabbit game :P... hehe, the thought of getting more jazz without paying a registering fee would have made my day... perhaps maybe my week as well I had so much shareware... back then they gave away whole episodes about as good as a full game themselves, as shareware. ... I'm babbling... I bet we'll all end up telling our kids about the "Golden age" of shareware. for me, it was around the mid 1990's.... er... anyways, if you have the money to blow, you can get the standard edition of that gamestudio software for fifty bucks. From there, there are books and forums, and websites. If you have a Circut City near you, they have a game creation starter's kit, that comes with the gamestudio software. It is only 50 bucks, the price of the gamestudio software alone. Good deal. You can learn about the software (and/or order it) at www.3dgamestudio.com

Good luck with your adventures
