I know this is impossible but is it possible?
I know you can make one on YouTube with annotations but is there a another way to do it?

I've made all sorts of videogames in my past...

I would probably just recommend you google gamemaker, its a free software i think, to make 2d games.

Yes, you have to export your animation as images and then in either a sprite editor or image editor, paste them together as a sprite sheet.

Multi-Media fusion (used to be Klik n Play > Games Factory)
2D

Lots of preset options for collisions, movement, etc. Almost no limit to the permutations - other than keeping it together in your head :) Ini files, levels, instal app., scores, etc. It has been more than a year since I did anything with it. My version is a few years old and I hope the interface has improved - it took some getting used to.

They have a 3D prog - Jama or something like that. Never looked at it.

yeah game maker is yoyogames...

you know, game creation is really not what you might think, it can be very time consuming... if you struggle in anime studio, forget it

to me anime studio is so much simpler compared to game design. whew. it is a relief

unless you love drawing and creating worlds, and are GOOD at it, or want to work at creating things like that, youve got a wealth of learning to do. I am not sure about it... I mean, you didn't know what I meant when I said to google "game maker" haha.... youve got some time on yr hands bro
