Getting started!

Hello! I’m new here, having just downloaded NES Maker earlier today and haven’t even had a chance to open it yet. I’m really excited to get started on at least 3 specific complete game ideas with many more rough ideas, all of which are inspired by and will be developed for my 6 year old daughter. Going to work in some of her favorite stuffed animals and stories she writes, etc. and will have her help me draw some of the characters she will actually be able to play in the games! This is going to be so much fun. I look forward to seeing what other folks have created, lessons learned and tips.

And I just want to say thank you to the creators of NES Maker. I’ve always sort of been interested in designing a video game but never dreamed something like this would come along. Thank you!

Welcome RetroDad
Glad to have you here with us.
NESmaker is really great software to create NES games and it's an even more fun tool to work with a kid on a project <3
Make sure to watch all the tutorial videos from https://www.thenew8bitheroes.com/learn
(I suggest the "12 days of Xmas" then directly the "Intermediate" videos from each modules)
On the forum you find a lot of resources (alternate/custom scripts, help, fixes, ... friends).

Can't wait to see what you (and your daughter) will create with NESmaker.
Have fun!
