WTF?

This would be best suited to the actual fan games' section.

Also, it might help to post more information about what you want your game to encompass-- what characters you want modeled, what are the minimum knowledge requirements for the programmers, what the story and overall atmosphere of the game are so artists and level designers can work on the same page. Be detailed with huge requests like this.

It also seems like you're asking people to make the majority of this game for you. What exactly are you going to be doing to get your hands dirty during development? I've seen this from experience and heard it many times: if you're just going to be telling people what to do, it'll be hard to round up a team who will be willing to dedicate enough time and effort to someone who is basically capitalizing off of their work.
Been gone on vacation? Got grounded from the computer? Then, you've probably missed a lot. Catch up on the latest Sonic-related news! Current headline: Sonic Unleashed Spot And... Movie?

Also, clicky for all of my fan-related stuff! I promise you it's actually awesome!

My grandpa told me once:
"If you want to give orders to other people, make sure you know to do them too".

sonicblue123, do you actually have some sort of programming knowledge? How will you pay to everyone? Do you need specialized programmers and designers, or amateurs are okay? You need to be very specific, 3D games requiere a lot of effort from lots of people.
I'll never love again
Can I say that to you,
Will you run away
If I try to be true?

Stop spamming, other people have actually got art they want to show, all you've done is demanded help, and spammed. Show us something so we actually may want to help.

Personally I doubt your friends are going to do any work, and will leave it up to a poor, trusting talented artist while you gain the benefits.


Now show us how you are going to make this game, what programs you want to use, and what kind of engines you will be designing.


Or no one will want to help.

Double posting... triple posting... poor grammar... did you join this forum just to take and abuse our artists and art teams here? Do you plan on giving any credit to anyone?
[mental note: shall inform SOTI of this topic...]

There's a small list of requests made by members so far, who have a good point: they can't help if they don't know what programs they are using to code up any kind of game. TGF? MMF2? You said Blender; that's just a 3D modelling program with a crude animation part bolted on. I tried using it and thought it was horrible. You can't game with it.

So we know that your game has a name and we know you've got a Sonic and a Super Sonic model. Give us more; what sort of program/code are you using to make this? C++ ?

If I'm being deadly serious you don't look like you're capable of doing this for yourself, and I don't see why anyone here should actually help someone who's joined for the wrong reasons, without any decent kind of incentive with which to aim for.

You got a plot? A level design on paper at least? A rough idea of what sort of levels should be made? Answer the questions the members have politely put out here, and with a decent amount of detail. If you just basically want everyone to make a game and then just run off with it without actually putting any thought into it, then I wish you the best of luck...


Edit: the Grammar Nazis have been notified of this topic. Get out the popcorn.

This isn't MSN, AIM or anything like that. YOU ARE ORDERED BY US, GRAMMAR NAZIS TO FIX YOUR GRAMMAR!
The Google toolbar provides a spellchecker, use that. Also, shorthand is not acceptable & you make Picard put his hand to his face.
Now, shape up, right now for you...

Sorry, it appears you haven't listened to what we said.
Your next post must have some improvements or you're going to Grammar Camp!

What SOTI means, is that the form of your posts are not formatted in the proper manner. You must notice that everyone else uses proper form as we do. You must use correct punctuation (periods at the end of sentences, commas to split up concepts, etcetera). You must use correct capitalization and spelling. Otherwise we won't be able to understand your message, or it will probably go unnoticed.

scetch artist:we need some scetchartist

You need us to do all of this? You can't do a single on of these? I'm sorry if I go hard on you, bit I'm in the game development field, and each and everyone one of these things is a pain to do. I sometimes kill myself over 2-D games, let alone 3-D? Do you guys have anything done or did you just make up and idea
and hope someone would make it for you?

Its not as easy as clicking on 5 buttons and clicking "Save AS". 3-D are mostly raw coded, which is a huge pain in the arse!

3-D Modeling is just as hard. You have to make every single little frame while keeping everything perfectly symmetrical. Theres a lot more to but, I don't feel like getting any deeper at the moment. If you have people do everything for you, how is it your game? What exactly are you making? You should at least code the engine yourself. I recommend you use Basic4GL for this.

What... did you just say? Im awestruck with that post.

Sorry to flame you, but it pains me every time I see someone post stuff like this about making a game. Its serious work! Everyone thinks they can make Sonic games with the click of a button. Start out small, like with Game Maker or RPG Maker and work your way up. You can't expect to make 3-D games the minute you start. PM me if you would like to know more about RPG Maker or Game Maker, they are very easy to use and great for 2-D games.
