Haha. Yeah, I remember modifying a few Alice posts... could you tell? ;)

ROFLMBO!!! one in particular stands out ... something about virues, or lack there of! ;)

Which one?

the ah, promiscuous Alice post

I still don't know which one. I think I modified a few of them. Maybe you got a link. I just read what I wrote a while back and laughed my ass off.

Some of Alice's posts got a lil too naughty and I decided they didn't belong on a public computer tech forum, so I deleted them - this one included.

:(

Well,I'm interested in making a game.These are my targets:
1.The game will be an RPG one.
2.There will be maximum 5 characters-no mules.
3.There will not be an option for muiltiplayer gaming.
4.I want to spend a maximum of 6 months in that game-which will be 3d obviously.
Now,I'm stuck here.I know c++,javascript,html and made some 2d games.I would like to get to talk to my brother ( who has friends in the csc department ) and get 4 assistant programmers.I will be the lead programmer.I need 2/3 designers but I don't know how to get a good designer.I don't even know how to find a publisher?If I get a chance,I might make that game available online and inform people about 'em.The problem is,how to talk with people and how to get them together.How to get them together if I am not going to disclose my identity.I'm pretty sure about the popularity for some reason.I want to publish the game later in compact discs and earn some bucks but the problem is,again,how to find people and how to talk with them? :eek:

well, well, well... another rush.. And I am there.. ok.. Well, although all of my previous game rushes failed.. (Most often we didn't even get past the loaders..) I'll join in. As inscissor had pointed out we (I am 15) are now at that age where anything seems to be possible.
I'd love to help as a designer or programmer as long as the chunk of work seems feasible... Although I am very eager I had one too many bad experiences with projects to big for my group to do...
Here are some questions:
1. What graphic libs are we using (GL vs. Dirext3d). I prefer Gl + glut)
2. What models are we using? .obj would be the easiest but they are slow and big (memory wise).
3. Are we using NURBs polygons?
4. What are we using to design our models? A.K.A Maya, Blender, 3dStudio, etc.
5. Are we using C++ strict, C strict both?
6. Are we writing our code in form of classes?
7. What about sound (open sound libs?, what sort of files? .wav, mp3, etc. ?)
8. How are we making our AI?
9. Will we attempt to optimize graphic buffers by not drawing unseen stuff? How?
10. Hit testing? (Spherical, square, progressive square optimized)
11. If network then what libs (winsock?)
12. Scripting action?
13. Shall we write our own interpreter so that our engine reads the code to be interpreted and then makes the play or do you wish all of the code to be precompiled in one gigantic executable + graphics + sound + text files (no running scripts of our own?).
14. Are we going to use other people's engines? are we going to use other people's engine principles?

Ok.. that is about all of my questions...
Good luck,
Ilya
P.S.: email me if you wish me to join at [email]ivalmianski@yahoo.com[/email] or if you'll catch me aim me at ivalmian . Although you may find it hard since I am usually not logged on.
P.P.S.: I hope I may be of some help...................................
P.P.P.S.: I will have much more free time after December 13th since that is when my internship is over.. although I still have some free time now...

Find people by posting.. spamming sometimes helps (I did not just say that)... talk by aim and email.. make a private forum. It is quite easy using php, even from scratch. why are you so timid about your identity.. it is not like some computer geek (we all are) is going to get you.

also, Camel, from my experience, it will be easier to have networking then to make a decent AI. Good AI's are hard, often they turn out to be too good or too bad. It is hard to hit the middle. (the question is if you know the perfect algorithm how do you make computer to make mistakes, if you know a bad algorithm how do you make the computer make good choices?)

Designing and programming games require a lot of expertise, people go to university and get lots of degrees and still cant produce any entertaining games. Meanwhile you can create entertainment gaming packs with game maker (free). (games like pacman ....)

This is a very old thread now, and I notice that the original poster - Thamior - hasn't been active on the site for over six months. Would be interesting to know if he ever got off the ground with this.

I hope it wasn't just another "hey let's create a game" craze all of us programmers go through.

it prob was

I remember in high school, every person that was enrolled in computer science, wanted to become a game programmer. The only two that didn't were the only two girls in the class. I guess it's a guy thing.

Huh? What does that have to do with what I said?
