Creating a New Game

If you don’t have an existing game and this is your first project, select “New” from the New/Open Game menu, or go to File and click “New Game…”

Both of these will take you to the New Game menu where you can select either a Template or a Demo. Which template you pick affects which kind of game you will make. More advanced users can select the blank template and format the graphics and database items themselves, but it’s advised that less experienced users select a template.

Templates are premade projects with only a few small details put in, such as items, tilesets, menus, etc. They can be modified in your project file later to fit your own game’s needs.
