In fact it's difficult for me to make the code and the gfx...
Thats probably the same for a lot of people here... Best advice I can give you is get a decent drawing package and learn.
I was crap at images, now though, after a helping hand from a few online buddies (More notably, Qube, Weetbix & JamesM), I've managed to start clagging things together pretty confidently... I've even start on the graphics for my next game.
If I can pick it up, an ape can! :)
Good luck on your project! ;)
