I know this tutorial is long, and has no music or anything eye-popping.
I mean, even I am tired of making this video.
But you guys need help, and I'm here to help. All I need is your questions, and I'll look for an answer.
Now I'm sure that if you pick a random game to play when you want to do this tutorial, you'll need the documentation to figure out the game's controls, copy-protection, etc... So I'm posting a link to a site that has pretty much every single game documentation known to a human being:

If you're wanting to know where I got the game, here's the link to it: http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/74/Flashback.html

In this old video from EJ2 there are some differences from the final version: the health display's different, there's some extra animations in the flying segment, the door segment's layout has changed completely and there's the unused green tentacle enemy (which looks incredibly well animated- maybe that's why it was cut). Thanks to Ant Cooke for these informations!

Why are there so few comments in here? Has Gnome lost its momentum? What momentum? The most exciting things I found in the roadmap for 2.20 for me were Eye of gnome, which really got better and the fact that they added stuff to file-roller which I almost considered abandonware. more...
