New to Foundry

johntseever

I am new to doing this and would like advise on what someone should do based on their first time creating a Foundry mission. I have played a few and enjoy them and would like to try my hand at it. Any advise will be welcomed.

Welcome! Well, The Foundry Roundtable video podcast just started a tutorial series for exactly what you need. You can find them on you tube. And searching you tube for kirkfat's old tutorials is really helpful too.

Hi John, welcome to the community!

As JS said above check out the tutorials by the Foundry Roundtable and by Kirkfat on YouTube. One awesome source of help is down for a re-vamp right now: Starbase UGC. However the folks there are the same ones that run the Roundtable and make the tutorials. They are always willing to answer any questions you may have.

My only other advice is to experiment with everything in the Foundry. There is a TON of stuff in there, and can be a bit overwhelming on how it can all work together to make a mission. But just like riding a bike, once you get the past the tough learning stage, it becomes super fun.

Like captain.hunter says, it can be a bit overwhelming at first, my suggestion is to make a simple mission to figure out how the basics work

also... it's a good idea to look at every option in the UI.

OK. I have been trying to research where I find the software, site, etc. to start learning and using a program(s) to develop Foundry missions. I cannot find ANYTHING that specifically points me to a place to make Foundry missions. A little help, Please?

Thank You.

If you want to know how to start directly from the beginning the foundry essentials series is probably the best (the UI changed a bit since it was made but its mostly teh same)

It's part of the game already, you don't need an external app.
