sketches of my game layout (story)

 Spoke with John Jennings to make a start on my game. He advised i create these layers as backgrounds and for the prototype after christmas make sure the character moves, make sure the background moves and them work on all the design elements afterwards. This is what im going to spend the 2 weeks off doing.

the game engine ill be using

Starling does not cost a dime. Download and use it right away — no strings attached. And because it is Open Source, you're always in control: step through the code and learn from its internals. Everything is well documented and easy to understand. Drop your in-house engine and focus on your games!

the reasons I chose it is because:

1. its free
2. its editable
3. adobe supports it
4. it has great preformance
