Hi! I'm Smedis2. I'm a massive nerd and like to play/modify/create video games. I've had experience with game development tools like Construct 2, Multimedia Fusion 2 and Game Maker, ZDoom, as well as fiddling around with M.U.G.E.N. in various ways. (I actually made a few characters, but they're pretty bad). I've always wanted to give OpenBOR a shot, seeing as I enjoy old-school beat 'em ups and I wish to make something of my own within the engine. I've been frequently impressed by what OpenBOR has been able to pull off, and I'd love to give it a shot myself.

Looking through what I've read on development in this engine, I can grasp a decent amount of the concepts used in this, but the issue I have is...

Where do I start?

Welcome Smeddy!

To start, you can download Beats of Rage and modify its content. It's simple start but at least you can learn some basics

Welcome!
Yes you can start by editing BOR.
I recommand you to play with player entity values (life, speed, jump...)
(trying to swap sounds)
Create alternate moves with existing sprites...
Then you can create a simple character by swapping sprites. and combining previous actions.
Later you can use some simple scripts to give better gaming experience.
There is a lot of them in the appropriate forum area.

Good luck with learning, we're all still learning every day.
