Most experienced developers regard posts like this as amusing, on the grounds that large teams of people take years to develop commercial high quality games.

But, since it is the season of good will I''m going to try and point you in the right direction.

I believe what you are saying is that you wish to make a game from scratch, like Quake 3 - however, there is no point since you already have a perfectly good platform, level editor and source to start with - namely the Quake 3 engine. Now, I''m not suggesting you spend $300,000 or whatever licensing the engine, but download the game source, look over it, study it, alter silly things like the amount of gibs from a dead person or whatever until you get the feel for it. It might also be a good idea to pick up a language more viable than basic, such as C or C++ - then you''ll be on your way.

After this, well... a lot of research, studying and hard work, and maybe you can make a Quake 3 clone from scratch next time round...

Happy Holidays!

thank u so much but where can i download the game source?

Jeez, i''ve said it before, and i''ll say it again: a little bit of initiative never hurt anyone . Well, just to proove I was having a bit of light hearted fun in the first post, here you go. Also look around fileplanet for the Quake 1 source... as in the full game engine... what a gold mine .
