Okay, so, I'm pretty new to programming. I've recently put together a few different text adventures, and a few 2d puzzle-type games, and I would like to start working on a project that takes longer than two nights to create and compile. I am planning to make an action-adventure, with 1 main character (But multiple Forms) and several weapons (6 + 1 hidden), with several levels (9). I also do tons of modelling on AC3D, and have *almost* all the models ready. I also play around with a program called MadTracker, and have create quite a few music tracks for my game. And now... I'm lost. I've looked through tons of tutorials, and I still can't seem to figure out where to go from here. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you both very much Another thing I am wondering about is BSP and pk3 files. The "fps tutorial" in the tutorial section of DBP says that they will make my life insanely easy. This sounds good to me, but unfortunately it doesn't tell you how to make them, or acquire them. If someone could shed some light on the subject I would be forever grateful.

I always work on importing maps and stuff first. It gives you a good foundation for your game.
