Hello all
I am by no means a coder nor do I script I am just an average gamer that was interested in how some games are created. After years of trying this game and that game,mostly mmos', I started to mess around with game creator programs. Not knowing anything more than some basic i got frustrated with the limitations that most of these programs could do.Well ok the limitations I can do :P Sure I can point and click and place objects but when it came to the core of the game I just could not understand the mathematics behind it. Anyway I have to hand it to those of you who took the time to learn a skill that most of use gamers take advantage of. So if no one else has said it or will say it "Thanks". Keep up the good work and I hope to try some of your games in the future.

Current tasks: Currently I am learning basic all over again. Its been way to many years sense I last used basic. I have plans on creating a Inventory tracker for my g/f,which will be used in conjunction with a game she plays. Lastly I am messing with the gui art,nothing major i know but something to relax me when i get frustrated lol. 30 min of work and I come up with this

Thanks all,
Cloven-leaf As far as the gui art, well its pretty easy. Just need Bryce 3d and your favorite paint program. The one I use is Paintshop Pro 9. Its my personal choice. I'm always interested in other programs but i have yet to find one that keeps me coming back. PSP keeps me coming back. I just do not like the newer versions of the program. Why is it that right when you get use to the gui on a program someone gets the bright idea of switching it up on you LOL.

Just wanted to reply to you saying that if you want to snag the GUI art you can I am not producing a game as of yet. Trying to get a dang friend of mine off his ass so we can brainstorm some ideas and discuss a few ideas I have.

Edited: blah cant get them to show up on here. 4shared wont let me update um LOL.. I have a zip file on the site if you want the link just PM and I'll send it to you.

Well I'm more than new on this community, but as I like welcoming people,

WELCOME RIPCORD!
And well your username makes me remember Radiohead xDDD. Nevermind...

Good luck with the basic, and I like the most the darky GUI (I think that some things are easier to read, like the remember pass),

Thanks z_orochii,
I tend to like the darker one too. I will have to shadow the right part of the lighter one in order to get the letters to show up better. Tried to use different colors but with the font so small (7) its either white or black letters that look the best on that background. Once i figure out how to change the size and locations of the buttons and input fields everything will change on my end :P.
