Requesting help with a flash (possibly) game

[muffinmonkey]

Me and my uncomputery friend are planning an online flash game
The concept is this:

NUN ARENA
imagine realtime hugely multiplayer worms with physically enabled very unstable nuns.
a nun with a big enough gun will knock itself over and roll about on the floor until it rights itself

Physics:
Softbody, physically enabled nuns with physical weapons and water physics and any other goodies we can slip in.

I think this might be too much for flash to handle so a small downloadable game (think soldat or toribash) will suffice


I will supply the art and my friend will supply the ideas

I'm determined for this to be freeware so unfortunately I can't offer any incentive.

If anyone's interested I'll give more details

this is the nun, it came first so apart from the odd tweak, it stays as it is

I use flash and that does sound lie too much for flash to handle.Try java. :)

I'd use XNA and get kotsoft to give you some advice. Those are both fields he seems to specialize in.

[meow-muffin]

Maltor124 speaks the truth. Xna's great for game creation. Makes me wish I had windows for my Mac. :(

[atomic1fire]

Unless you had parallels you cant get windows for mac...
I would suggest learning something that can do multiplatform
cause then everyone can enjoy your game

[muffinmonkey]

I agree, but the percentage of non windows users is unfortunately so small that I'm not sure it's worth too much hassle

I'll try though

any other idea apart from XNA?

[meow-muffin]

I guess if you really want to use flash you could especially with all the new amazing stuff people are doing with actionscript 3. :)

The Mac uses should know their Macs aren't for games, so it's not your fault. I recommend not making it for Mac.

[Treacle109]

How about BlitzMax? Its CrossPlatform so you would just need someone else to slightly change your source code and compile it on a Mac... You could use Farseer for everything but the soft bodys, Unless you found a way to make them urself on there

[LuizZak]

Yeah, BlitzMax rocks.

But there's another problem about XNA: It needs Pixel Shader, and I (and a lot of people) doesn't own a 3D Card :/

Another "make my game" thread? I won't even bother

[samysam]

If you've never made a game before I don't suggest trying to make it online.
