Well, I’ve been planning a side-scrolling game for a few weeks now, and just yesturday I saw and played this game:

And I thought that it was exactly what I wanted to create ( but mine would have different graphics , plot and all that). I wanted to create a side-scroller with different enemies, a few bosses, a few attacks, combos and power-ups… Now I know that when everyone visualizes their game they think of Mario or Alien Hominid, and I’m no different, but I do realize that chances are it will require amazing ammounts of complex AS and graphic design. Since I saw it yesturday I decided today I would start putting my sketching to Flash and start creating main character movment and what-not, but I have to ask you all this first…
What should I do first?! Should I get the AS and then build the game around it? Should I design all the graphics so people know I mean buisness and that I’m not just some n00b? Will someone like myself ( with little flash gaming experiance) be able to pull it off, even if I use all my abbilties and ask for help from others?
I know you people see tons of peope come through here every day saying their idea ia amazing, but they need you to build their AS structure… And I am no different, but please help me out.
