I am going to create a new game!

[Danke]

Answer: Multimedia Fusion.

www.clickteam.com

Takes about a year to be good at it.

I'd recommend trying Games Factory first, it's a little easier to get into and less complicated. And I almost always use TGF if I'm gonna make my own graphics or use sprites. I find MMF's sprite editor to be annoying to use.

There's no programming required at all. It's kinda annoying that everything's conditional statements that can't be compounded though.

[EvilPickels]

Does it cost anything? and where do I get it>?

+ what is it?

ARG!!! This is partly my fault but partly yours, I am making a 3D game NOT a 2D peice of crap(no offense).

I have been searching for years for game making and programming software, and only found anything of use last year around sometime during december.

Dan you really should read the thread more. I mentioned it would be made in gmax.

I really need a compiler.

Also I HATE jamagic. I saw it once before and beleived it was the only game making program out there, therefore: I hate it(cus of its price).

2d piece of crap

You can't even make a "Hello World" program and now you wanna skip 2d and go straight to 3d programming.

SLOW DOWN!!

By the way, some of the best games out there are 2d:
Metal Slug, Starcraft, Abe's Odyssey, and Mario of course

EXCUSE ME?! I didn't Ef it up! The fricking program dont work right!

I absoluterly HATE 2d games. Pokemon and zelda are an exception however.

o.O

i can understand Zelda
but POKEMON?

i'm not sre wha shocks me more, that someone likes that game/show or that the forum don't auto-filter that word............

[Darkstorm995]

the tutorial worked fine for me i actually made a couple smiliar programs using what i learned from the tutorials

[Danke]

Blah blah blah.
If you actually sit down and play it, you'll find the game is actually fun. The show is just ... ugh.

A lot of the best games I've ever played are 2d. Mario 3, All-Stars, SMW, Yoshi's Island, Zelda, FF6, Chrono Trigger, Mortal Kombat, Soldat, Abuse, Bomberman, etc...

I'm guessing you grew up with an n64 instead of an NES or SNES. That's just sad.

EDIT: And you'll definately want to either make this a mod for a game, or build it off of a free engine (There's plenty of ones out there). It'll be much easier that way.

[Darkstorm995]

he's saying 3d so im guessing he's going to make a 3d engine if im right give up or take some courses

[Danke]

It just be easier to use an existing engine instead of building one from the ground up. If you're deadset on making an engine (which you shouldn't if you have no coding experience) go to SourceForge, grab someone's 3d game and look at the source and see what you're gonna have to do.

[Darkstorm995]

i agree with dan you should just use a premade engine an alright lookin 3d engine could take yrs with a team alone i dont wanna guess how long it would take

[FReAK]

yea. thats pretty much it. it would be awsome if we oculd get ahold of teh unreal engine or the quake engine... and i know exactly how to get it [size=0]jk. sory. [/size]

[EvilPickels]

There's FREE engines out there?! AWESOME! But explain to me why it would take years. Does it take a long time to code it? I have like, unlimited free time on my hands. I am 14 and got like a bunch of years of free time so I don't think it would take to long... but then again teams who make them work on them 24/7 14 hours days...





The reason the program I tried is I beleive cus gmax has a weird compiler...

I used a tutorial from www.cplusplus.com gmax is just... weird.

Hey guys, I can'[t read the ef-ing text you write when I'm on my dads comp (its a compaq pentium 1 56k modem ) your blasted sigs get in the ef-ing way.

:EDIT: OMG AWESOME! I just got a free game engine! Now what? I think I will fool around with it for a bit.

Um, a game engine is basicly just the graphics, physics, and contants right? It has nothing to do with what happens when something in the game happnes right?

EDIT EDIT: Ok I got the engine from Genisis 3D. I don't know what to do now.

[FReAK]

Genesis 3D? ???

[smellylobster]

I absoluterly HATE 2d games.

I'm going to assume that you are way too young to understand the magnitude of what you just said. You obviously come from an ignorant generation who cares only for the superficial appeal of modern graphics. You've probably never touched a game console older than a PS2.

Put that Genesis 3d down and dedicate a solid year or two to learn c++. Then and only then will you be able to comprehend anything written on that 3d engine. You can't edit it, if you can't understand it.

[FReAK]

wait, is genesis 3d sega saturn???

[smellylobster]

wait, is genesis 3d sega saturn???

LOL, I applaud you

[EvilPickels]

I'm going to assume that you are way too young to understand the magnitude of what you just said.

*sigh* Ok person, let me lecture you on a few things:

1. Age has nothing to with anything. Period.
2. There Is no "magnitude" of what I "just" said. I do not like 2D games because:
a. the vast majority of 2D games out there on the market are lame meant for 6 years olds, and are un-appealing to myself.
b. for Gameboy and are almost all stupid childrens games. Gameboy is the only source I know of that still produces 2dimensional video games, other than the internet.
c. their games are boring and simple. I do not like the boring gametypes and lame graphics.
3. Teenagers are qoute NOT anything to discriminate against. We are blamed for lots of things and discriminated against all the time and I am SICK. OF. IT. Look buster if YOU have a problem with MY/OUR age you can just kiss my ass and go face the judge for your discriminatory morals.

You obviously come from an ignorant generation who cares only for the superficial appeal of modern graphics.

Our generation is not ignorant. Some of us are a bit careless but I am nowhere close to that. Tell me, why would I ever want to play a 2 dimensional game compared to a brand new 3D state-of-the-art game?

You've probably never touched a game console older than a PS2.

I also hate PS2, and I have played older game systems, the N64 is in my opinion the best game system ever made. I used to play an old SNES back a few years. The SNES was the first video game I had ever played in fact.

In fact I've got a Playstation 1 sitting right next to me as well as a couple of Gameboys.

Put that Genesis 3d down and dedicate a solid year or two to learn c++.

I'll figure it out of my own THANK YOU VERY MUCH. And:

NOONE and I mean NOONE tells me what to do GOT THAT?Especially not some 54 year old grand-pa who thinks he can tell the newer generation what to do.

I have ALWAYS wanted to make a game, and now you my freind are trashing it. I am NOT going to wait 6 FUCKING YEARS to do what I have ALWAYS wanted to do.

Lobster, go trash someone elses dreams. And shove a didldo up your ass while your at it.

I hate this planet.

[Locke]

What hes saying is start slow.Your trying to do stuff that is beyond you,and me.
Your trying to kill an Elite,before you can kill a grunt.

So start off on 2d games.So what if 2d games are old,no one said they wernt fun.Mario from the orginal nintendo is still my second favorite game(Halo being first).I dont care for graphics,I care about gameplay and whats fun.The game could have high end graphics and look good,but might suck really bad.Im a fan of 2d games.

You could make a 3d game and make it cool looking,but it wont be anygood sense you speant all your time on 1 thing.Now if you made it 2d,I think it would be really cool.

This is just advice.I would help you but,you said Im the one ruining these forums.
