Hey!
In the summer (end of June+) I am completly free and I think I would like to make this game I had in my mind for a long time now.
Using some of Tonypa’s ideas and a lot of mine I think it would be possible for me to make a tile based game. It would include really nice graphics (not tile - to - tile graphics), good gameplay (jumping around, shooting, blood, maybe some physics) and a plotline (told by the charaters). I am 15 and I am aware that all this <^> sounds kinda naive and it is in someways, but please read on!
Technically I have already got the tile based collision and some of the shooting scripting. But I think I have learnt a lot more since i first started and could improve my script.
There are 3 things that worry me before I start:
- Animation combined with the realtime world (like the player) is going to be a ***** to do but I could incorporate it into the background even though this would make triggering the animations kinda tricky
- Sound I have no idea where I would get the voice acting from or explosion/shooting/death sounds
- OOP, I like don’t REALLY know it. Stuff like prototypes and classes etc are beyond me, I guess I should learn this stuff?
(Most other things like AI I have ideas for but not actually put into practice)
And finally, how come no one has made a “proper” mini-game in flash. The closest thing I can think of is Madness Interactive (ownage of a game) but it is still quite simple as the player moves from kill zone to kill zone. Why has no one made these kind of games!? There must be someone who has. Its purley for ideas sake and the knowledge that it can be done. Seeing as most games have no plot and are very simple my task/idea seems a bit too hard maybe.
Thanks for the help (and reading!)
Dan :+)
