sorry for the first one here's one!

[CHEDDAR]

here is my new idea, NO bashing please.

ok this game is called The Stick Revolution

The idea:
ok im still in the thinking of the game but its about a .....well....a stick revolution. My idea for the game is alot like Ragdoll Masters but its online!

The details:
Theire is red stick people with hats, and blue people with hats. they start on two sides on the level then they wil run into each other! You would unlock wepons like a rifle,beaonet rifle, and a knive. Theire would be other levels like a big level with hills and like buildings to go into and alot of other levels. theire could be a custom level editer and you would be able to create your own levels and fight in them. And a costom match were you get to pick the amount of players, teams, and wepons. You would use the arow keys to move and the mouse to fire your wepon


The concept:
my concept of this game is a Counter Strike with the Revolutionary War and stick people!


So tell me what you think :)

ps.theire is going to be gravity so you can't fly

pss.the knives and guns would be atached to your legs

enjoy,CHEDDAR

[Tenacious Dan]

1. How do you control the people
2. Do you control many people at a time
3. Why stick figures?

[CHEDDAR]

1.it has the controls its the arow keys to move and the mouse to fire

2.no you control one guy the others would be other players or cpu

3.ok if you were to read the entire post before you ask, they might anser all of your :confused:

[Juggz]

I like the idea

[Jokker]

Beside the fact that 3D ragdolls would create havoc with lag, it's a pretty good idea. It would be better off as 2D, with maze-like levels.

Also...why would the knives be attached to your LEGS? Why not your arms?

[Great_Pretender]

3.ok if you were to read the entire post before you ask, they might anser all of your :confused:
But you didn't actually explain WHY they would be stick figures.

[Rob223]

Hats? HATS?..

MakeitMakeitMakeitMakeitMakeitMakeit!

[VistaSucKs]

I Think This Idea Will Fail, Sorry, Unless It Is Supported By A True Developer Team, Like Introvision.
Otherwise, Failure Comes To The Unexpected Expected Person

[Muntu]

Yeah, sounds very nice, but who's gonna make/code it?

[Farbror Fazer]

Take this to Ragdoll soft, they would be the only to actually have time and knowledge to complete this as a decent game, or if a good coder with the source from ragdoll masters could create som kind of mod...

[Dj Demetrius]

Sounds like a possible mod for Soldat, I think.
But please, check your spelling before you post something.

Same here, sounds like Soldat. :>

[Sheezy]

Look, CHEDDAR you need to learn to spell, this isn't an AOL chatroom. I say you should go to http://www.dictionary.com so you can learn how to spell words you don't know how to spell.

As a sidenote, the game idea sounds pretty good.

[Croix]

Great Idea!!!
unnecessary post sorry...

Please Do Not Talk Like This, It Looks Stupid!

[Rob223]

Please... spare the kittens this time, I beg of you.

[CHEDDAR]

Im realy sorry I did not tell you ok I will explain.

1.It's going to be 2D

2.if they are atached to their legs you can get better hits by doing back flips

3.They have hats for style. It would be revolutionary war hats.

So YOU are making this game? Well good luck with it

[Rob223]

Cheddar,

If you do not

1. Learn to program
2. Make the game
3. Make it freeware

In a year at most...

Hmm. It should have a physics enviornment like crates and poles. Oh, and they should be able to pick up weapons the find on the ground.

[Rob223]

Do as he says. And make it a sandbox game, kinda like an MMO where you buy things with money and level up when ya kill summat.

[CHEDDAR]

these are good ideas!!!


i want to send it to ragdoll soft but I dont wanna do the entire activation email thing again, Its anoying :D

[Jokker]

I say not to send it. They'll probably reject it and say it isn't good enough. If you guys are serious, I could probably code it using ODE and some ragdoll source.

My basic idea would be something like a Toribash in 2D. Meaning, every, say, 20 frames, the game pauses and you have x amount of time to make your moves. That would be drag and drop.

Meaning to punch from a normal position, you click on the arm, and drag it back (it'll leave a trail), then suddenly change direction and move towards the target.

Also, this is kind of like Ragdoll Fighters, but uses pauses so it isn't overly complicated. And. Right-clicking/dragging would be things like grabbing, so you could, basically use objects, and pick up weapons with hands, teeth, feet, ...crotch...etc.

It wouldn't be that hard to code. If I ever manage to get to understand how to create a world in ODE, and get a free graphics engine. :/

If anyone's serious, add me on any of the following:

t_mihai91 AT yahoo DOT com
rushcs1991 AT hotmail DOT com

Or come to #fun-motion on irc.quakenet.org (irc://irc.quakenet.org/#fun-motion)

EDIT: *kills kittens*

[STEVIE G]

I'm already doing something similar with my 2d engine - kinda like worms with ragdoll & rb physics. No hats though ;)


It wouldn't be that hard to code


Maybe not, for some people, but it'll take alot longer than you think.

Actually, I know about how much it'd take until I could release a starting alpha, with ragdolls, and a rudimentary start of the control system. Like, maybe 2 weeks...spring break rocks. Er, that is, considering I manage to get ODE running. :\

[Rob223]

No... hats? What do you mean no hats? This isn't happening...

[Ryu Hinote]

Cheddar, from that really...strange...request about the rubber ducky-catapult-game thing, and the argument it sparked, it seemed like you'd be "unhealthy" to this forum and that first impression kind of made me not like you. But I have to say, this actually sounds like it could be made.
Seriously though, who on earth can shoot a gun with their toes? Guns on the feet doesn't sound to good...
Also, how big are the teams?


P.S. Fix your spelling.
P.P.S. Heed the warnings of those around you.
P.P.P.S. Keep the hats!
P.P.P.P.S. This is my last sentence.

[Rob223]

HatsHatsHatsHatsHatsHatsHatsHatsHatsHatsHatsHats.. . Bring me some hats. I DEMAND HATS!

Walk the talk then. When can we expect this alpha ... with hats of course?

[edweird]

Don't take offense, but these ideas are a dime a dozen, and I don't think another developer would take on your idea when they could come up with one themselves. Thousands of game enthusiasts out there have their minds bursting with cool ideas, and either start developing themselves, or assemble teams, but the vast majority of them ultimately fail at making their games, because their ambitions far outweigh their abilities and experience.

The key is to start simple, and learn. Choose a game development platform or programming language, and learn the absolute basics! Forget ragdolls and weapons, just attempt very very simple things, and achieve them. You will gain an understanding of what you really need to know to make a game, and what you're capable of. Then one day, when you've managed to get the basic mechanics of your game working, you can start setting your sights on the content and gameplay.

I'm not condemning you, I'm encouraging you! Learn how to make games, so you can one day turn your ideas into a reality. Until then, though, don't think having an idea is enough to make a game happen. I've tried, it doesn't work ;)


[For the record, it wasn't long ago I was just an enthusiastic kid wanting to make games. I got deeply into the clickteam products (the games factory, click&create mainly, and later multimedia fusion) and I eventually got really comfortable in those programs, even making working physics, characters on hoverboards, accurate collision detection against bitmaps, lots of stuff... and yet, in all the time I was making those games, I practically never finished one. I was so caught up in making my games do amazing and cool things that I never simply set a realistic and simple goal for a game and finished it.]

[CHEDDAR]

OK their is going to be hats ok. They will be revolutionary war hats.

I want this game to be a fast paced war game ok please dont try to make this game like Toribash.

ps.the knives are attached to their feet ok. The guns will be on their arms ok

pss.it my IDEA!

[blackwolf575]

Cheddar get off the forum. This isn't no development thread. You left a horrible tumor in my brain from your awful Ideas. :mad:

[Jokker]

Walk the talk then. When can we expect this alpha ... with hats of course?



Well, if you have any experience with ODE and can help me, as soon as I get ODE to run. I don't understand the manual unfortunately, and my compiler keeps giving me an error I don't understand. :/

Probably because I never actually LEARNED C, but I learned-as-I-go.

[Rob223]

hey edwierd, could you send me some of those physics games you started making? I use TGF and MMF to make games and i've never succesfully created my own physics engine.

[ThatGuy]

Sorry for going off topic, but I would like to ask what programming language I should start with to create a game (3d, 2d, preferably 3d). I am currently only learning some python in my free time (I have since only programmed a simple Mathematical caculating program).

Since some of the people here are game creators, I was wondering what language did you start with? I will eventually move to C++ though, I'm using python only as a stepping stone. All replies are appreciated.

[Jokker]

What language to start with?

I'd say first something like Blitz, then you could try C. Or maybe Java. That works just as well.

[CHEDDAR]

ok guys stay on topic please,

you can make your own topics so you can talk about what you want

[Rob223]

First of all, we're talking about what programming language you could make your game with, and how you could learn to code it yourself. Secondly, you created this topic, but you don't own it, and you can't tell other people how to talk in it.

EDIT : Just so you know, not trying to be rude or nuffink.

[leon kennedy]

I like it... But... Umm... A couple of things. First of all if the controls are going to be like ragdoll masters, the whole point is that you can fly so a strong gravity will just be crap.

Secondly, why put the guns and weapons on their feet, i say have it like in their arms or even their heads.

Yay for constructive critism!

if i can recall in his last dumb idea (this one is a rly good idea) but any ways in his last topic u guys were telling him to stop using :) and he needs to learn how to spell, but i think u guys should just leave him alone

[CHEDDAR]

ok im sorry.


This topic is going on for a long time, we might even have 3 pages.

Ok you can have the gravity however you want it im just trying to be creative.

I wish i had cheese.

But anyways the game will have people have guns on theire legs so you can have range. Im trying to say if you do front flips/back flips they will be on your legs so you can get better atacks in.

ps, if i killed a few cats im sorry im tired right now

[)CryFar(]

well if i didn't say so already i think the game idea is great.

[668.5]

Yeah, it would be better if it was actually MADE.

[Rob223]

Yep. You don't just magic a game like that out of nowhere. It takes teams of underpaid koreans working in bad conditions while the retialers and CEOs laugh it up in their big houses, with their fancy cars, yadda yadda yadda...

[edweird]

hey edwierd, could you send me some of those physics games you started making? I use TGF and MMF to make games and i've never succesfully created my own physics engine.

Sure, I'll see if I can dig something up! It'll all be packed away on an old backup CD somewhere but I'm sure I've kept all those. I'll keep you posted.

[CHEDDAR]

Ok i got the idea, now we need a team. Ok I was thinking on sending this to Cronic Logic, but that's not going to happen, the only games they have is two versions of bridge builder. Well anyways Ragdoll Soft would be our best shot to make this game the way i want it to be. also i making some screen shots for the game, i hope you like them.

[Jokker]

If you're going to go to them, fine.

Either way, once I get ODE up and running, I'm making my own game, the way I described it. Anyone who wants to help PM me.

Ok you can do it if you want, im not trying to sound mean if you want to do it i'd be happy if you were to.

This game needs to be made anyone

Correction

This game would be cool if it was made by someone.

[Juggz]

So Cheddar got banned then?

[668.5]

Probably. We all thank you matt.

[oxology]

well, that's over, but we need full-time mods for when this happens again
