No, seriously. Maybe we could make a game together. We're a game designer club, after all, right?

It could be fun... So, what do you think of the idea?

I like it, duh, and think it would be best if one of us who has successfully made a full game actually do all the techno stuff, with some assistance from each of us who has had experience.

But, anyway... What do you guys think? Think we could pull it off?

Sure. Well, maybe. I think I've only actually finished making one game, but that's always from lack of ideas/final boss. I think we might have enough people to make it work, but, uh, a few problems.

1. Different programs. I think most of the people here use Game Maker, but not everyone. You're using DirectX, so trying to work together on the coding would be tricky.

2. Lack of people. Last I heard, something was wrong with Hero's computer. So that leaves a grand total of... 2 people watching this section. So there's not alot of input, unless you want me to go PMing people at random.

3. What would it be about? We're completely storyline-less.

4. I've never tried to do a big project working together with people so far away. So I don't know how we would send files back and forth, assuming we have more then one person working on the code.

5. We'd also need a spriter. Probably.

And wow, what did they do to the social groups menu?

1: That's why I said it'd be a good idea for someone who finished a game to actually work with all the code and stuff. That way we don't have any language or application conflicts.

2. I think a few in the spriter's forum might be interested, and I'll ask around the BA. Maybe we could set up some sort of tag in our sigs.

3. That's part of pre-production. That's the stage we're in.

4. There's many ways. IMing, mIRC, uploading and downloading from the same server, etc. etc.

5. The Spriter's Forum is full of them. And they're actually pretty good.

Great. So, any ideas for pre-production yet? That's ALWAYS the hardest part for me. Coming up with an idea, a storyline, and enemies for along the way.

So in other words, I'm almost completely useless at coming up with this stuff.

Hmm, I have an idea. I'll IM you and we'll talk about it.

Well, apparently IMing didn't happen. It'd be faster for you to just post your ideas here. And maybe we'll get lucky and someone else might realize that this group exists.

so, did you give up on the game?
