On the road with music (game project)

[Tycahal1991]

Welcome to this community of adventure game developing. My name is Tycahal and I am a portuguese wich likes game developing, as game design and game art, I am not profecional in programing games though.
I have made several arcade like games in GameMaker8.0 most of them platform like games.

so I entered this community because I like Adventure Games, and have a plan on doing one. I finished the basic tutorial in the manual and understand the basics of Adventure Game Studio. but I still have dificulties on making puzzles, some menus, etc.

ok now for the game concept:

the game name is gonna be "On the road with music "
the story starts with a cutscene of flash back of the main character, he is a portuguese, son of a portuguese guitar player, and plays mandolin since he was a kid.
in 1967 (present in the game) he will emigrate (to escape from the portuguese colonial war and faschism) to Ireland. the game starts there, first of all he will have to find a place to sleep, second a place to work.
but this is not the folocral theam in the game, the player will be invited to jam in Irsh pubs, and eventually invited to participate in a folk music contest and win it.
every time the characther plays an instrument the game turns to a puzzle game:

there will be 2 difrent independent puzzle games:

1.one for melody palying, wich will be a instrument arm, with the strings and frets points;
each of this points will play the melody in a "simmon" like memory game, also it would light the points in 2 diferent colors depending on "up pick" or "down pick",
this would be achived by "left mouse botton" vs. "right mouse botton".

2.another for harmony playing, wich would be a type of "guitar hero" but wich adicional aspects as: rithm, tempo, speed features. this would be a keyboard game.

this is what me and my older brother are trying to develop. the puzzles are very hard for me to even visualise the code for them. but we started the point and click parts.
the character is already made ( drawn with pencil and colored in photoshop)
scenery is being made in google skech up.
