Programmers and 3D modelers come here.

[argelfraster]

In the Pokemon Gold/Silver remake thread everyone is saying what they think should be in the new game.( most likely none of it will ) so i thought to myself, there are a bunch of programmers on this site and maybe a few 3D modelers ( including myself ) why dont we try and make a small pokemon game? small as in, like 2 towns, 1 gym, and 20 pokemon.

Good idea, but look at what happened with project laser.

[argelfraster]

i didnt know that project involved people from benheck...i thought it was just plamertech
Whatever, we can do it!!!!! ( maybe )
Anyways, anyone interested in trying to do this?

If you really wanted to do something like this, you could just get a predone 2D engine that does stuff like this.

Someone made an engine in gamemaker for this:
http://gmc.yoyogames.com/lofiversion/in ... 06075.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
(It still needs some work)

If you took the route of doing it in C++ or something, that could be sweet too.

i am learning C# at the moment so i will try to make a game with that. Is there nobody interested in trying this out?

[ghosstt]

I would say only do C# if your going to do anything with XNA and stuff like that. If not, I'd recommend C++. I've been fooling around with it a tiny bit, and it's pretty good. Just using a simple library like allegro can do a lot of stuff.

That would be sweet, and I'm sorry I have nothing to contribute.

Since no one here has the balls i will undertake the game by myself for now.
Also found this z00ttheater.com
you guys might be interested.

Stfu. This is everybody's busiest time of the year with finals and all that crap. And as long as you're coding, you might as well make a full game, because it's rather pointless having only 1 gym.

1) only making i joke, i know everyone is busy, i am too and can only start this game during late july - august.
2) the demo will be 1 gym, full game will be all.

If I make sprites or something, will you put me in it?

[argelfraster]

it depends, will you make 2D or 3D sprites?

[jjhammerstein]

2D, the way Pokemon is meant to be.

[argelfraster]

i guess 2D would be easier to start with than 3D ( obviously )
Can you show me some examples?
and also, do you only do human sprites or pokemon aswell?
Im asking this because i want to make a pokemon stadium - like battle system.
PM me.

[jjhammerstein]

Pokemon would be really hard.
I was thinking more along the lines of tiles, buildings, and character sprites.
