Hello everyone my name is Sam.

Right, now, it's something that's been bugging me for a very long time and it's only just now it hit me to just go to the forums and actually ask some others about how they starts stuff.
so my problem is I have a whole lot of ideas I would love to create with Stencyl, but my main problem is where to start, what to do first and what should I do before I even start making the game? It's something that always gets me, as I always think "damn I should have done the graphics before I started" or "Should I have a story line for this random game I'm making". It's these things that make me close Stencyl and just go out for a cigarette and forget about it, but I've still got these ideas/mechanics for games that I really want to make.
could you guys tell me what you do before you start a game, what you do as soon as you do and what usually happens when your creating the game, for example, do you ever have times where you leave it and come back a week later due to getting frustrated etc?
thanks it would help me a lot if i could get this straightened out

Sam
