I Downloaded Game Maker now what?

[KBridget]

I desperately want to start making my game that is hentai but don't know what I am doing! *bashes head on keyboard* Can the LOK things swf files work with game maker 7? Is there a tutorial available for me? I have other things that I can use but they look like this:

... and I don't know what the hell I do with that lay out of characters. Do I cut and edit them into single critters on paint? DO I edit them with the games edit sprite thing and if so how the hell do I do that?
I feel really REALLY stupid and hopeless right now guys! HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME!

No. Flash is a product made by adobe with it's own save system for files. Game maker is made by some one else and i don't know anything about it.

You can individually load sprites (character images) individually through the sheet in game maker. On a side note google Humbird0's lab, he has a bunch of tutorials on how to make sprites, how to animate, how to program, and many examples you can download and decompile. He also has a hentai sheet of the one you just posted with marle. As well as a few others.

As a game maker user, I can tell you that you can create an H-game using it, but you'll need to get a photoshop program to turn sprites into animated GIFs.

I also suggest you either buy (or find a copy online) of the game maker apprentice (with the CD/files) and learn how to use game maker. It takes a lot of math and frankly from what I understand of adobe/RPGmaker, it's easier to build games, but harder to clip things and make them act together (I think resident evil progeny is made in GM, can't remember...)

EDIT: But yeah for sprites, you have to piece them together using frames to make an animated GIF. I haven't been able to find a free photoshop program that works for me, but fireworks or CS5 seem to do the trick.

How do you not find free photo manipulation in this day and age. You want to make a gif? Microsoft GIF. Want image editing software? Paint.net, GIMP, etc.

As for photoshop, CS serious is the creative suite series, which includes photoshop etc. I digress though, its overkill for pixel art. You just need any program that can let you select colors, and work in layers.

And once again I have a giant headache

What kind of game do you want, the kind of game you want will break down how you go about creating your game. If you want shoot zfied a private message, he is the maker of the resident evil game. He is pretty knowledgeable in that field especially side scrolling fighting games.

I think I may just do that since there seems to be so much I have to do and I have poorer programming skills than god gave my cat. Speaking of which... *goes to check on the screaming fluffy monster who seems to forget she's not lost just sitting in the hallway.*
