ArchAngel Member Posts: 3450 From: SV, CA, USA Registered: 01-29-2002	Hey! Whaddup? okay.. I put in a new poll on my site... it's about what kind of game Avalanche Studios is going to work on. Yeah.. that Bean and Rye game is going to be put on hold a little cuz we'd want some experience and stuff.. so, I'd like to know your opinions and stuff... cuz my polls usually get little attention... cuz my site get's little attention... cuz my site has little material on it... alright, thanks homies! Peace out! Here's the link!: http://paladin.250free.com ------------------ [This message has been edited by ArchAngel (edited July 29, 2003).]

As far as genre, make some c00l RPG. ------------------ "I find myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world!" -C.

ArchAngel Member Posts: 3450 From: SV, CA, USA Registered: 01-29-2002	haha.. yeah, I agree.. hence the poll. it's for a small project we're gonna work on. that's why we're putting Bean and Rye on hold... it's gonna be a little big to begin with. I'm putting you down for the "small RPG" choice. thanks InsanePoet! quote: Imsold4christ Cheapskate haha... shamelessly so... okay, I was bored. and no, I'm not the type to become a door-to-door salesman... or a telemarketer. ------------------ [This message has been edited by ArchAngel (edited July 29, 2003).]

If you got a few different teams to submit a remake, they could be sold as an attractive package to all us jaded gamers out there. If I went into a store and sore a 'RETRO PACK!' that had nice new versions of say Joust, Galaga, Phoenix, Gyruss, and Pooyan, I'd buy it in an instant. The beauty of that is that they are reasonably easy to do, and you don't need to go through the pain of trying to persuade members to join your team for a mammoth long term project.

ArchAngel Member Posts: 3450 From: SV, CA, USA Registered: 01-29-2002	ah, yes... RTS would be very nice... but it ain't that easy to make... someday, maybe, someday... yeah, Jas, a remake could be cool.. maybe get some game that well all thought was great. which reminds me of some old games I played that were pretty fun. (root beer tapper has some potential for a fun game... and stuff like that) I always wanted to make an RPG... I'd want to actually make a large 3d one someday.. And Cobra, remember that RPG Maker 2000 issue? I sorta found an engine made by this guy that might work as a good replacement. the game, from what I saw is around the style of a RPG Maker game, but the editor isn't as good.. we'll see.. ------------------
CobraA1 Member Posts: 926 From: MN Registered: 02-19-2001	Err, what engine by what guy? I've found an RPG engine called "Sphere" that I'm going to take a look at. http://aegisknight.org/sphere 4given4sin still needs another programmer, BTW. Once I get back into the fall semester the amount of time I have available to help him will drop. ------------------ There are only 10 types of people - those who understand binary, and those who don't.
ArchAngel Member Posts: 3450 From: SV, CA, USA Registered: 01-29-2002	Arrrgh... I forgot the name. I am currently on vacation and it's on my home comp... so... I'll give you the name when I get home... yeah... I won't be able to help 4given4sin... my vacation will be the only time I have away from work this summer, then there's fall semester.... ------------------
AmazingJas Member Posts: 437 From: Sydney, NSW, AUSTRALIA Registered: 04-03-2003	If you are interested in going 3d, you might like to take a look at one of the 3d engine add-ons for gamemaker. There's one called freegadget, which I've had a quick look at and it is pretty impressive. The add-on is free from http://home.tiscalinet.de/xception/dlls.htm
ArchAngel Member Posts: 3450 From: SV, CA, USA Registered: 01-29-2002	cool! ------------------
CobraA1 Member Posts: 926 From: MN Registered: 02-19-2001	Freegadget uses billboard tricks. Xception's DLL for GameMaker is polygonal . I'd recommend starting 2D, though. ------------------ There are only 10 types of people - those who understand binary, and those who don't.
AmazingJas Member Posts: 437 From: Sydney, NSW, AUSTRALIA Registered: 04-03-2003	Maybe I used the wrong name, the link I gave was the one I tested which is probably xceptions by the look, and it was definetely polygonal as the demo has you shooting little 'teletubbies' in an outside terrain. It looked like something with heaps of potential.
