Hi there,

I am looking learn TGE and Constructor from someone in the field.

I have basic knowledge of both programs.

I am willing to travel where ever needed, and work around their schedule.

I learn best by watching, asking questions and then putting what I have learned to work.

I have wanted to make video games ever since I played the Atari 2600 for the first time.

I do not expect anyone to give up their time for free, I fully expect to compensate anyone who is willing to do this.

I can be contacted by email at phshfe@yahoo.com

Please consider this

Thanks

Phil

Hey Phil, honestly the easiest way to learn is pick up a couple books geared towards TGE, scurage the forums and experiment, experiment, and experiment.

I am in the Everett area .. I'd have no problems helping you learn the ropes .. but really i consider myself a newb at best. I havent played much with constructor. BUT i do understand the principles behind TGE after 4 years of diggin though code, trolling forums, and reading resources.

That and I program for a day job... Though not in games

Any how feel free to send me any questions you might have, if i can help you i will and good luck taking on this incredible jurney that is game software development ;-)

Thanks for responding,

I have been going through the forums, watching any video clip I could find and I have picked up a couple books,
but there is no better way to learn than to sit with someone with knowledge and watch them.

I live in Stanwood, and I would take any help that was offered.

I would like to sit and watch a level being built, and be able to ask questions.
I just learn better hands on.

Let me know what you think, I totally understand if you do not want to mess with it.

Davey at Garage Games said to ask on the forums because they no longer offer the boot camp.

Thanks again
