i'm not quite sure where to put this, but i think this is the most appropriate place to put it...

i haven't done any coding for a while, but i think i'm going to try and program another game, its probably going to be FPS type game, maybe based on zero hour/shockwave...

would anyone be interested in helping out, i might need:

a modeler (although i will probably do quite a bit)
some for 2d-art (this could include making skins for models, or explosions for particles)
maybe someone to help with particles
and if anyone knows how to use dark basic would be a help


i know the story is a bit sketchy ATM, but i want to see if anyone would be interested before i get too deep into it

so if your interested in helping out, just post here

Why are you doing this I don't mean to be mean I'm just wondering?

well i've tried making games in the past, and i usually get half-way through the engine and then end up giving up, i feel that if i have people to help me with this, i would 1) have more time to consentrate on the coding and 2) have more enthusiasm to carry on

[Soul]

So what's this game basically going to be overall?

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

well like i said, i haven't fully decided on story line yet, but i was thinkning something along the lines zero hour/shockwave type units and you have to carry out missions, but you are a particualr unit rather than a general controlling the unit...

the one mission i've put a bit of thought into is you are controlling a defence, and there are battlemasters rolling over a hill, and you have to illiminate them... i'd probably make it so the attack force gradually got stronger, adding more a better tanks...

EDIT: and if anyone would be interested in playing such a game (ill give more details as i progress) please say, as that would give me more enthusiasm to make it

I can help with models,i have got 3ds max 7,gmax and blender (but no idea how it works)

[Judgement]

I would help but I just started with RenX and am not bad with the 5 models I made, but I think I need more practise. However I would play the game no doubt if you made it.

Coding And Particles If U Want

[Soul]

I'd play this nodount.

As this game progressis can you give us screenshots and if possable ingame videos but I know that will take a long long time it takes so long to make a game after all good luck.

so you know how to use darkbasic then?

[Futschki]

DarkBasic ? Maybe I know but I know in another name ...

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

darkbasic is a form of code, you do realise i'm going to be making this game from scratch, so need to know actual code (the stuff that zero hour is written isn't really code, its just referd to as code)

its similar to visual basic

[Futschki]

hmm... yea maybe ..

[typhoon2]

i would definately like to play this sort of game and i would support you all the way, unfortunately i know of no way of how i can help you out... but if you can think of something please say so.

my first video:

here


yes its not that great, but i have litterally just started programming today

EDIT: just added an animation, so now the rocket buggy bounces around like in generals

EDIT2: the link doesn't work, so goto http://www.freewebs.com/jonthepon/ and then click on generals 2, and the zip file should be there

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

i just uploaded a second video...

wouldn't mind some comments this time (hint hint)

[retry_1]

nice dude have you figured out hw to do loadsreans yet?

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

no, but visual stuff like that are at the bottome of the list ATM...

[typhoon2]

very nicely done Bob brilliant job, i know this will be brilliant game and i see you have put in alot of time and effort into this and i wish you good luck in creating other units, skins, and other stuff. I don't really know how to properly comment on this as i don't know anything about making a game:D but i know that i could never do something like this at all, so very well done. and i hope you keep going on with this and stick with it.

Looking sweet so far.

I may be able to help you program
I can do simple programming in BlitzBASIC... what looks fairly similar... so I may help

download a trial version of Darkbasic and see how you do

and i have just uploaded a new video, you may notice:

- The new targeting system, this can be moved forwards and backwards with w and s, and left/right (along with the turret) with a and d. When the it is out of range it turns red

- The buggy rotates with the terrain now, instead of staying flat

- The buggy can jump off of cliffs, etc.

- The grass is lighter

ok, you may not see some of them, because the quality is quite poor, so if you want a better version, contact me on MSN

[Alias]

I have got it now
Seems quite simple.

I will add you on my MSN.

[Jordan]

I wish I could help somehow. I have some models if you would want any.

How are you going to get it textured?
