I was just wondering if someone could help me out, i'm new to the boards and i've read a lot of the FAQ's but i'm still a little unsure. Where do i post if i want to enlist the help of someone to create a game that i've written/designed? I have an idea for a good one in my head but i tried making it myself...didn't get much further than my first room. Thanks in advance.

Hi Mercutik,
Well, I think you have the most important of things: a good idea,
I would try to develop that idea, start a room, do some backgrounds and character sprites, basic scripting is easy and the editor provides most of the interactions you will need, to start a pretty good functional room anyway.
Why not do that first room and submit it to the forums? You will get help from lots of us, from art to scripting.
You will find most of your questions answered in the day (sometimes hour) you post them!
Build that room and start another one, take your time.
Also, users of AGS have backgrounds avaiable for using (don't know about characters), there's a Walk-Cycle Generator avaiable for download as well.
I could say, ok I'll do the art work and script for your concept game, but I am not a game professional, I have a family and sometimes TIME is not around much!!! I think it's the same with most of the users around.
But I will help you as much as I can, sorry for the long post ;D
Working on a RON game!!!!!

Thanks a lot for the help!

To be honest (now i'm going to really embarrass myself here) i created a room that a character could walk about in, something to look at and that was really about it before i got stumped and gave up on it, i was beginning to move backwards and make things worse. I think first of all i'm going to write my idea down to preserve it before coming back to look for someone willing to help me create it. 

Thanks again,

Mercutick

Don't jump in it all of a sudden. Take your time to create backgrounds first and only when you are satisfied enough to continue, only then move on. It is like navigating in strange lands. First you must manage to know where important points are, define basic rules and only then move to harder things. If you just jump to it, you have too much variables and unknowns to walk on a solid ground.

Hope it was poetic enough  ;D
