Name: The Battle for Ragon

NEWS:

15th of October: In under an hour I will release v1.19, should provide a few more stability fixes!

Please post your ideas

12th of October: Development has started again. I have done some development since January when I last released a major update, they have been randomly released throughout the year but I will now start on v1.2. Some of the features that I promised in v1.2 have been implemented throughout the year into the game. Minigame- JUMP was removed from production after a bug was found in the programming libraries. (I cannot fix this bug)

Well, you haven't mentioned the language used to create the game!

::Quick:: · #3 (**permalink**) 04-15-2006, 03:12 AM

I only need drawers, not coders.

Yoshi Fan · #4 (**permalink**) 04-15-2006, 03:13 AM

For the Object creators, what kind of objects will we be making?

If not...I'll be a BETA Tester.

Deputy Salty · #5 (**permalink**) 04-15-2006, 03:26 AM

"Object creators"? Can you come up with anything more specific?

Okay, but I'm still curious as to the language!

::Quick:: · #6 (**permalink**) 04-15-2006, 04:18 AM

Person: Monsters, people
Background: I think you know this
Object: Anything that will move by itself like trees, waves. Also things that will be used in the game like phones, vines, ships.

I will be using either C+++, ActionScript/Flash, Game Maker. (and its codes which you can imput)

please if you have a project like this, Post it somehwere else rather than here. That has its problems and theres been many a thread locked form it before.

And not to sound rude but, Which is it? AS and C++ Are a HUGE step up from gamemaker.. Thats like comparing a car to a bike loll.

And you shouldnt assume the background, because gamemaker=2d background, C++=3D landscape (generally), flash=Bitmap image Or mc (movieclip)

I am really thinking of Game Maker because you can create a small game with C+++ and Action Script but a big game like this... It would take forever to write. Plus with Game Maker you can imput some code so that will give me a lot more features.

well thats the thing, Game maker doesn't really use codes.. and I think its aimed more towards small games. If you want to make a big game, you should be using C++. And for a big game, it take sbig time heh.
