I've got ideas rolling around, and I'd like -something-, some kind of goal, to keep me motivated to draw and put to use what little I remember from college. Lately, I've been considering tinkering with creating a game of my own, but my experience with such is paltry at best. Despite that, I want to try and make something a little more... I guess the word would be 'action-y' or 'engaging?' I'd like to try my hand at something other than a turn-based RPG or a point-and-click adventure. I know I've got an old copy of Flash floating around somewhere, but I was never terribly good at actionscript; even with tutorials I could never make a thing that moved when the arrow keys were pressed. Does anyone know any good resources or engines for creating a platformer of sorts? I know asking this question pretty much means the project is doomed from the start, but I need something to keep me going anymore.
