the link to scrolling game dev is in then OP. ok people so have a little go of it and see if its ok for you, when you figure out your abilities using the program, then come back and suggest ideas that would be a lil bit of a challenge for us.

I think that will be the best thing to do. because once you know what you are capable of doing using that program, you will have a better understanding on what type of game we can achieve

Side note,

The linked website dont work with firefox, so you will need to use internet explorer

So I do have to download it?

How long would it take to download with Dial-Up?

yes, you download it. 

It's only 4Mb, it will take  about as long as one MP3.

Puzzle platformer sounds alright by me. Does anybody actually have enough experience in flash to do that kind of work though?

We really do need some people who actually have the talent to make a game if anything like this is ever going to actually work.

the puzzle game wont be in flash, there are 2 people on our team that are planning on doing a flash game and havent stated what their plans are as of yet.

 

The 2D game will be a bit more advanced. We have the coders so why limit our abilities?


so what program is going to be used for the puzzle game


im no dev but it will be java/openGL based. I'm not 100% what would be best ask our fellow game dev dawve answer.

Question for you guys though. What are your opinions on Blender?


Um, are you planning for people to make their own engine? That's kind of a bad idea. Seriously, our best bet would be to start with someone like Scrolling Game Dev and move onto some 3D engine and just modding it.


Thats why I asked about Blender as its a full game engine and dev tool.

Still ya we will use the Scrolling Game Dev tool kit like you said.


  1.  If you use GameDev just make sure to back up often.  It's free but it has a lot of bugs and quarks about it that definitely remind you that it's a free to use program.  Still though, free is never bad and it's a good thing to get everyone into the habit of working together.
  2. Is Blender free?  I had thought it was just a modeling tool too. 

 Yes it is free

It is more then a modeling tool. I screwed around with it for a month back at version like 1.9. I had no idea wtf I was doing but it entertained me for a bit.

ONLY 4 MB!?!?

That means with my 24 kbps modem, it'll take half an hour.

W00T!!

I could do the music. I just need to find a good midi program. I've heard fruity loops is nice.

Edit: Downloading FL now. I'll mess around with it after work.


 

Yo, I wanna do music too. Let's collaborate ;)
