Congratulations. Find time to make a game and stop making negative comments about everything.

its not a negative comment but a simple observation. good point though maybe i should make that game.

trust me, it isnt as easy as 'hmm maybe i should make a game'.

No kidding. My friend has been working on his libraries for about a year. He said he would be ready in about 1 month. Im in charge of the graphics. What program do you use for graphics? MSPAINT OF COURSE! (actually i cheated and used the gimp a little bit)
The point of the project will be to prove that flashy graphics dont make good games... crappy graphics do!
- ps. it probably wont go to dreamcast *:'( .

ive written a script with full dialogue, camera angles, and basically a full direction of the game. the only problem is that im toss at art and drawing, have no idea about graphics and coding etc. what should i do?

1 originality is always a matter of focus in any art form
2 people love sequels, i love sequels
3 sequel can be in and of themselves original
4 there is not a whole lot of money involved in going out on limb with your software. there are a whole bunch of games that are original and suck.
5 take what you can get, always rent before buying and never trust someone elses opinions

people have differant systems i think, but i just make sprite sheets. like the main character is in a 45x38 tile. not sure what you do from there, i guess you tell the program to seperate differant image parts.

Hold an open call for coders and graphics artists. Depending on the intended platform coders will be your problem to find, but graphics people are generally universal so that should be easy.
