Hi Everyone,
I know this section is for GamerZ...those who like to play games

But my post is a little different..
I am calling for all those who have ever tried to Develop a game :shock: On their own :shock: with any software such as flash, game maker factory, game maker, 3d game maker, RPG creator, etc,

Share your views :!: on Game Development...What games you have developed or willing to develop...What softwares you have used...Any new gaming idea...Give any resource link...

Just share some creativity beside Just playing Game :wink:

hmmm ... using a 3D modelling tool like 3D Studio Max ..... creating high polygon models ... writing a corresponding maxscript ... importing it to C# .... using some Direct3D api's .... gets a bit too heavy for a single person doesn't it ??? I've made some 2D games in C# .. thats it ....

Difficult?

Why 3D games using 3DS Max and Maya :?: , One can make 2D Games using Flash. Have you heard of GAME MAKER which can be found at www.gamemaker.nl.
:idea: Also Blitz Basic, 3D Game Maker , FPS Creator, these softwares give click and make approach.
Upload your games in whichever language you have created in...

I may be wrong, but I think in order to create complex 3d environments, you have to also utilise game engines like the doom engine or the unreal engine or the latest source engine from HL2. Also you have to program the AI, etc. One of my office colleagues developed some 2d using flash but I do not personally know of anyone developing 3d games in India.

1.can one person alone create a game ?

One person can always create a game :shock: .Yes! Off course! :)
May not be a complex 3D Game like DOOM III but a simple 2D platform game like Mario, Chess, etc :?

Now, for creating a game one needs good music, small sound effects, images to be used in the game, may be some 3D elements too and an engine and interaction to be programmed ...I am throwing light on these :idea: ...so look below...

2.with which software all these big games are created?

Big games obviously uses 3D engines. So a 3D engine from Quake or Return to Castle Wolfeistein can be used by game creators...They use 3D models for their games which are build using Max and Maya. A huge number of programmesrs work on single minute detail for months to create a masterpiece, just for user's entertainment and some cash. But it should be mentioned some popular games still are 2D such as Age of Empires, or Mario, or Snake...So Nothing is possible to a willing heart and one should believe that and then approach. May be one can form a group on net and work on a project.


3.what config, software, tools, skills you need????

Now, for creating a game one needs good music, small sound effects, images to be used in the game, may be some 3D elements too...(for hardcore 3D Games)
Generally I create my own music using various softwares...I am soon going to upload three of them and you people judge whethere they are worth my work, sound effects are available on net and also can be created, images I create in Photoshop and MS Paint and regarding 3D, I am still a novice in the field and trying to go through tutorials. But on net free 3D models are available waitng to be used in the game.
Now comes an engine for the game and some interaction between the different elements of the game according to the user's idea...This engine and interaction part can be programmed or as a novice I refer to some good softwares that handle the both without any or much programming...
check out below...:arrow:

As I had mentioned earlier...
There is a software called GameMaker which can be found at Game Maker Homepage. . The software has both novice as well as advance use and one can use GML(Game Maker Language) to give the games some complex interaction and properties. The software is so simple to use, yet so powerful. Take some time at least once to check it out...It gives you trial version to try out...I am very fond of it and soon I am going to upload a few creations of mine using it.

3D Gamemaker is another software which can be found at 3D Game Maker Homepage. It gives you "Just Click to Create" approach. But it is a commercial software and not even a trial version is available. At the site you can also find out other softwares for making games.

So, all the best with Maya... 8)

I am hoping to upload some of my creations (music and games) soon :wink: ...

i hav gone thru the 2d part in GM, i am okay with it
trying n learning GML for 3d grafix n games nowadays
actually GM supports only 5-6 basic 3d shapes(cones,cubes....), but people out there make there own 3d models in 3d studio, or any other and then load these fine models into GM with the help of some software like marzipan, anim8or, my prob. is

1. i downloaded models(all ".3ds") from 3d cafe, only some of them open in
"marzipan 5.5" and very slowly, but every model is fine anim8or!!!
2. Considering those small models which open up in marzipan, they also don't work!
3. in the 3d models tutorial, i do as told n save the file(GM 6.1 script) as model1 but in the folder it comes as model1_model,model1_model0.......
why.....? "_model" at the end??
4. at last some how if i figure it all out nd run the game, GM says
"unexpected error!!" Ughhhhhhhhh.....:(
5. Marzipan sux, couldn't understand mosaic (don't know what the hell is it)
6. please help and tell me there is a way


By the way GAME MAKER 6 is much powerfull than anyone can imagine
GML has been forced to produce games(3d, fps, racing) that GM was never intended to .....
