Yes, I started work recently on my *first* real playable (and fun) game. Me and my co-developer have finally gotten our DirectDraw skills to a point where we are able to do what we consider a project that will still be *fun* in these days of 32-bit 3D games. The *basic* ideas behind it are so: Game Typearallax Side-Scroller Layers:4-7(we are working off of four until the basic project is finished, at which point we start increasing it until we can''t code any more, or the RAM/VRAM requirements start eating us alive.) Resolution:800x600x16*drool* Setting:Dark Gothic Fantasy Weapons:Various Swords, bow, crossbow, possible h2h, mebbe others Mapping:Right Now We are working on this point. As the Code permits right now it will be basically 3 DDSurfaces, a Primary, Back Buffer, and an offscreen. Scripting:A small amount of pseudo-script, nothing *really* neato, but we are talking about some special case situations in which we will have some neat graphical stuff happen*drool* Monsters:Lots and Lots and lots..... Story:Way too much to get into here.... AI:Only basic, except in some rare cases. Sound:As of yet, we are still trying to figure out where to get sound files from*sigh* Input:Right now, its all Keyboard, we are still finding design ideas to incoporate the mouse.(Hmm, mebbe "Abuse" style aiming?) Anyway, that about all I have time to put on here. Please respond with ideas/comments/useful stuff. Thnx a ton, Run_the_Shadows Run_The_Shadows@excite.com

What exactly do you expect us to say? There''s not much detail in your list...

..talking about vague..

Abuse had really great controls, make the same controls in your game please =).


(arallax, lol)

All I can say is, up yours asshole. I didn''t think that the majority of gamedev wanted to read most of the backstory of a game, and monsters, well, take up so many pages of our design doc it probly isn''t funny. All I wanted to know was what you thought of the project itself, any ideas you had, and any hints from you if you''ve done a project like this b4. I hate to flame, but i think you really centered on the 2 things i left out of the brief version of the post rather than the other 80% that was made up of useful info.
Oh, and the parallax thing was my fault, i didn''t realize that gamedev autocorrects colon/letter combos and makes them smileys
If enough of you other people really find backstory and monster lists pertinant information, then mebbe i''ll post them.

"All I can say is, up yours asshole" ... "I hate to flame"

Hmm, doesn''t sound like it, sounds more like you are a professional to me.

who do you think you are?
you come on this board and post something up about a game you are making and want some feedback. You then get feedback and how do you respond ? "Up yours asshole"......? That was totally uncalled for. You said, "Please respond with ideas/comments/useful stuff." and then you blast someone for responding. I hope everyone else here will just ignore your requests from now on because I know I will.

ncsu, R_T_S has been here since early in the End Goblin Genocide thing.

R_T_S, sounds good, but the AP did have a point. I hope "too long to put here" doesn''t mean that it''s not good. IMHO, any story worth telling can be summarized down to two sentences, including your life story.

BTW, I''m still looking down the pipeline for that Shadowrun game, eh? I still have your email, and will still contact you! Go to www.landfish.com, BTW. There are things there only someone such as yourself may notice...

Well, I was going to tell you a few places to get professional sound effects for not much money, but then I read your second post.

Now I''m just going to laugh at you.

Ha ha ha! No help for you, potty mouth.

Crime: Unnecessary flaming to a valid answer.
Punishment: Closure of thread.

There will be no arguments about it.


People might not remember what you said, or what you did, but they will always remember how you made them feel.
