Create
Once you've logged into GDevelop, you can navigate to the Create tab - see menu on left hand:

Select Empty Project...
Give your project a name, and select Desktop/Landscape - we find this to be the most common size and orientation we work with.

Click on the Project Menu burger icon...
We'll need to set a property for the game.
Click Properties & Icons under Game settings menu...

Don't forget to click Apply!

Then rename it to something like "Level".
Last thing click on Level scene to open the relevant game design and game events tabs. You can click away from the menu to close it and make sure the tabs are there:
