Created Games

[Calza]

Does anybody here create their own games?
As am trying it out but Adventure Maker (http://www.adventuremaker.com/) does seem a bit limted.It is the free version but still is there any better free options?
Also if you've created your own games why not post on here?

I modfy computer games, but i dont know how to create them from scratch.

I can make some text-based games, like rock, paper, scissors. At the moment I'm trying to make a text-based RPG...

[Calza]

i've actually just found The Game Creators (http://www.thegamecreators.com/) and am downloading FPS Creator. I'll tell you what it's like once I make a level.

I created a game using Game Maker (http://www.gamemaker.nl/) check it out:

Super Mario Ragdol (http://www.home.no/adrianwap)

I think i'll try out a shooter and if i get the hang of it a simple RPG with Gamemaker as seems the best so far.

i know how to code sorta simple to moderate programs with v.b. the hardest ive gotten to is a visual hangman game which saves scores and randomly creates words. it pretty damn tough creating games from scratch!especially if you want awesome graphics :heh:

You can't make proper games with VB. Try Dark Basic, it's similar I think but designed for games (I've never used it though).

dark basic? where wud i get that from?

I havent programmed since last year, but apparently ive got an talent for it, i outsmarted our really stupid teacher a few times, but he was a nonce. Its hard to keep up with all the programming languages that are out there, and that really discouraged me :(

[Calza]

I did a bit of programming last year really basic :smile: stuff. I am about to vb again soon but i usally get bored as my computing class is just randonised so the "geeks and nerds" are in the same class as the people that can't find shift :weep:.

[Raining_again]

why are people that cant find the shift button doin something as hard as programming o.O

[Calza]

No it's just the standard grade class (Scotland for ya) i'm doing credit work (1/2) while some people are doing Foundation (5/6) I'm only 13. :heh:

[Raining_again]

wow i didnt get into hard It stuff til i was 5th year at high school wuda been 16 :( how embarrased am i! :heh: and Scotland rocks, im originally from Inverness!!! :D

I got it with a computer magazine a couple of years ago. I don't even know if it's still about on the internet. Google is your friend.

I've never actualy made a Game. I've just edited a few.

A few years back, I used to be in an emulation group called NC Translations, then moved to F71 Rom hacking (Which I eventually put an end to for them hacking my bro's email, so I deleted the entire site).
My main job was editing text with Hexidecimal coding in Pokemon Gold and re-designing the maps. Yeah it was incredibly simple..but was the only experience near making a game i've had.

[Schpickles]

I make games for a living :)

Seriously, it all depends what you want to go on to do. If you want to make something that's really quite limited in scope, then yeah - have a look at things like game maker and the likes. However, if you ever want to make a "proper" game, you have to learn to program in C / C++ I'm afraid - there's no substitute for it for making games. Languages such as BASIC (and their derivatives such as VB, Dark Basic etc) are too limited and don't have enough performance to match C or C++ development.

However, learning C++ isn't quick or easy, you'll have to be prepared to put in some time, get a book and practice until it clicks. However, once it does click, moving onto programming for the GBA, or 3D programming in OpenGL is not too difficult. In addition, it's easy to then move on further and utilise game engines, physics libraries and so on which are freely available to make really cool game demos or games.

I don't want to dampen spirits or anything, but there really is only so much you can achieve with a game making kit - there's also a risk that the more you learn in that way, the more you have to "un-learn" in order to learn something like C++ at a later date.

right now i am making a fighting and an Rpg game they are about angels and demons and plain people but it is very gory doubt i will be finished for a long time.
