Evil Peanut Games- Formulation of Epic Win

Archive: 65 posts


Some of you may know that I tend to bother people about making games, specifically in the RPG format... most people tend to ignore me or judge it as some sort of joke... so yeah.

At any rate... I want to make something this summer, but the thing is I want some people to do it with. So... is anyone remotely interested in making anything with me? ... yep, we can discuss more if I get some people who want to do this too. D:

I will. No one ever wants to make games with me, so I end up just playing community levels.2010-06-19 07:50:00

Sigh... i'm not even doing anything there! What, should I just wait around for them to finish before I decide to do anything with my legions of free time? Seriously, just... gah, just... >_<

Anyway... I was thinking something on computer, so, um, yeah. I unno. D: >_<

Yeah, I don't really need story guys... I need other... things... yeah

So, I was thinking of using GameMaker, or something, unless someone has a better idea on what to use? Also, what genre should it be? D:

Specifically spriters, so if you can sprite or are good at art and want to sprite that's good. Or if you want to actually work on the programming or designing, that'd be good too.2010-06-19 17:49:00

I'm not an artist or programmer but I could be a level designer(assuming that would involve neither of the other 2).2010-06-19 17:57:00

i used to mess around in game maker a long time ago. i made some pretty crappy games, got bored and then abandoned it.

i also learned how to make a "hello world" program in C++ once, then got bored and abandoned it.

I can give it a go i guess... I have summer with nothing to do... Although if you don't want me to, that's fine too... I have no idea how to do anything you want right now, but i'm decent at art and arty crap, so i might be of some use at some point?2010-06-19 21:03:00

Perhaps! I unno. Can you sprite? Or draw and can learn how to sprite? Maybe then. Unless you want to do other things of course.

At any rate, we'll need to have a program to use... so what should we use? D:

Spriting would basically just be making the graphics a'la old games before pixels, so you could do it in the software itself or in visual editing software... but first we must figure out what we're doing!

Anyone have any suggestions? D:

I think it should be a shooting game or open world game.

I guess you're in.

But we'd have to start small. If we do an open world game, it'd have to be 2D since we can't do 3D that easily.

So yeah... Anyone wanna look a few programs up/ Just google game makers, and, yep. :kz:

I have no idea. but i wanna learn something new anyway, so i'll give it a go... And i can draw quite well, depending on what is needed, and assume i can therefore learn how to sprite...

Well that's great! We all want to but no one knows what! D:

Ok, so...

We could all work on gamemaker:

http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/

And make simple games. Or eventually a platformer. Or I unno. What genre is someone interested in/ SHOOT!

I would too, but if it was an RPG it'd be very difficult. We may need to use an RPG maker. And I don't want to steal it so we can't use RPG Maker...
We could use

http://hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/index.php/Main_Page.html

or

... eh, we could use that but it may be tough, but yes. I unno. Who's interested? there ARE more RPG things out there, just google rpg makers or such.

i'd hate to be a pessimist but as someone who has used game maker i can inform that making a platformer is quite hard. maze game are the easiest and top down shooters arent that hard either.

there are some quite good game maker tutorials here if anyone's interested: http://www.yoyogames.com/make/tutorials

if anyone is interested in making a adventure game i can recommend AGS: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/
its fairly simple and the results can be stunning.

This sounds interesting.

I'm not sure if I would actually be of much help and you seem to have quite a number of volunteers now anyway. If you need an extra artist or something I'll see I can help. Sprites are just images saved as normal image files right? nothing special to them.

I would love to help, but I have no skills in game programming and etc. Though if anyone knows how to learn it I am all up for that. I have recently tried to learn C++, but right now I don't know if it is going anywhere. Most I can do is working with story elements or gameplay ideas, something like that. I would always like to give feedback.2010-06-20 13:33:00

Well it's ok if you have no skills, most of us so far have no skills. We aren't even coding, more like using some program, so you'd just need to learn the program itself. So yeah, if you want to help, don't worry about no experience- none of us have it either D:2010-06-20 13:37:00

You've probably seen my "foof engine" thread... It's currently going through a major revision but the engine will be extremely capable. I don't know if that helps you, but within a few weeks I should have a build of the engine you can test to make your own games with... but of course it's 3D oriented...

It has a structure similar to Quake, Unreal, Source etc. engines so it's very trivial to just drop in new game info

Anyway, we really need spriters. Yes. :kz:

...I could help, probably...

I mean, that RPG making thing confuzzles me, but if someone could teach me how it works, I could try...

I forgot the last time I tried to help.

Maybe add me on MSN, (644Klaww@Live.com) and stuff.

I do know a whole lot about Game maker, and I have the pro version, for if this RPG making thingie ever gets too confusing for everyone. We could always make stuff in GM, which I've made simple RPG engines in before, (RPG platformers mostly, but still...) and then at the end send it to me to make it shiny. (Make it in the lite version, and then I add little tweaks with pro.)

I could figure out the hamster republic thingamabob, but I'd need assistance.

Wif' mah past asperiences...

Spriting is the hardest part, really. It's best to start with some other stuff, using temporary sprites.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I can almost script for Pokemon hac--st00fs. (I can map too. Also on Super Mario World.)

Should I send you an old platform engine I made before? It's an alright example for my temporary sprites, (White blocks with an arrow on 'em) and how I can learn scripting kinda. (It was all scripted.) I have it in a .Exe format, if you wanna see it sometime.

Well, it's easier, but probably not as good.

I'd say to look at some RPGs on Game Maker, and then some on the hamster thingie, and see what you like more.
I dunno how you could find some made with hamster thingummywho, but for GM it's YoyoGames (http://www.yoyogames.com/browse).

Keeping in mind that if a bunch of programmers get together on MSN or something, they can try to learn the hamster thingamawhoozit together.

You can probably find some hamster thingumawalnut games somewhere.

The one problem with Game Maker, is that I don't know how to make it turn based, but there are some engines on teh interwebz.

I'd like to try learning the hamster thingumahippopotamus, though.

..It doesnt have to be turned based ==.
I mean, Kingdom Hearts is an RPG and it isnt turned based, and that turned out AWESOME. The party members could fight along side you, slaying at a beast..
Heck, its worked with other games. I imagine it would work with ours.

Hmm i might want to help, you actually seem like your going to go through with his Rock!
Im not sure what i could do but i know when its finished you could add it to this site
http://www.kongregate.com/
and i believe you would be able to make achievements in it for the site if you wanted to work a little harder to add them


Eh so what could i do possibly

EDIT: Just realized you can make a lot of money with your game because of the ads that would be displayed by your game in kongregate.
So if this does go through and you upload it to there you can make money, but i realize many people are working on the game so it would be hard to split, so why not donate the money made to LBPC!

... but I'll also need some help from peoplez, of course. Or we will. So yeah, um... Yes. I'd love anyone who is seriously willing to help, and yes.

Right now I know Clay is in, and perhaps Klaww... everyone else I hired pretty much quit, so yeah. Come on, we can do this :kz:
