Thick Atmosphere

Me and a group of friends got together and made a contest to see who could make the best RTS in one hour. We knew that a Real-Time Strategy Game generally took a long time to make, so this is what made the contest more challenging. The prize? Br... |

Elevators in Reversed Gravitation

How do you make an elevator on a planet with reversed gravitation?
Let me explain. Let's say that gravity was reversed, and a person could stand upside-down on the ceiling. Then there was an elevator that went DOWN. Would the person be u... |

My humor piece
|
I suppose that it's okay to post a sample of a humor book here, since it falls under the category of fiction (I think). Anyway, here's a sample that is from the first part of a humor book I am working on. I want to see how funny it is, so could... |

What would make a cool Easter Egg?

Easter eggs -- they're those messages and secrets hidden in the game by a programmer with the hopes that somebody will find them.
What would make a cool easter egg for a game? Something funny or shocking would be cool.
I got one. "Cats don... |

So much to do, so little time

I must be the master at stalling -- I have to put everything off until the last second and then frantically work. I have to reply e-mail to three of my friends. I haven't sent an e-mail to my friend that is a girl in three days (I'm not going to say... |

Game Development book publishing

Has anyone here had a game development book published before? I remember hearing a claim from an editor at The Premier Press that several of their authors were also members of GDNet (I forgot the exact amount, but I think it was a significant number... |

Morphing two different backgrounds

I'm working on a sort of cinematic for a complex 2D game (a sci-fi action/shooter). I want the background to realistically morph into another background. I was planning a morphing of 32 images in 5 seconds (one new image appearing in the backgro... |

Thick Atmosphere

I used Game Maker, using GML instead of drag-and-drop for programming. For the textures, I used Texture Maker. I drew the sprites myself but used some of the image editing tools in Texture Maker to make the warthog look realistic. Texture Maker was m... |

About the first story, I have a question, was your story supposed to be more like a joke, or a serious story with humor thrown in there?.
Both the first and second stories were meant to be serious stories with humor t... |

Use of colors in games

Wow... a lot of different views on this subject [smile].
I too agree that a person's basis of colors is conceived from their upbringing rather than something that is hard-wired into their brain. For the record, I was not signifying that this... |

Victory by proxy - How to make satisfying? (RPG-like)
|
Well I would think that the player should have had at least some control over an event (such as the destruction of a bridge) in order to feel victorious. Maybe if the player had control over each group of NPCs as a whole, and then was able to control... |

Elevators in Reversed Gravitation

My idea is to have an elevator that works similar to a hovercraft. It would have an engine that propels air in the opposite direction that it is moving in order to push it up/down. It would have enough speed to break the force of gravity when going i... |

Super Mario RPG games?

Making Super Mario RPG would be difficult if someone doesn't have much prior experience making games, especially with a rather limited program such as Game Maker (IMO). Even Game Maker games use some programming, if only in the form of drag-and-... |

Questions For Indy Developers

My advice is slightly different on how to grow an indie developer, so feel free to disagree with it. I haven't actually sold a game yet, but I'm taking my sweet time working on a commercial game. I'm also working on a website, a novel,... |
