Alright so, lot of stuff to cover here, and I'll probably sound like a total idiot, but... I've only recently found this forum and learned about SAGE after being inspired by games like Sonic: After the Sequel and Sonic 2 HD Remix to seek out my own way of contributing to the sonic fan game community. I have a decent background in digital art, but my knowledge of programming is sorely lacking. I have amassed the appropriate resources to help me in that regard, but I am unsure how to proceed with the current version of Sonic Worlds (build 1.4.3). I have the build, but I have no idea how to open the mfa file or otherwise allocate the apporpriate files into a format which would allow me to begin building a game. I take it I need additional software (such as Multimedia Fusion?), but I would immensely appreciate any sort of guidance or advice on how to get started here. Or failing that, if anyone could point me in the direction of any helpful information, that would be awesome. Again, I apologize for any naivete on my part here; new to the scene, new to the forum. Thank you in advance.
