fletchers Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hey there. I've always wanted to get creative in some way by making my own game. I love the oldschool IE games and have recently discovered GemRB, or rather that you can actually make a game with it in the IE. So my question to you would be: Where do I start? I would be making the game with one friend probably. I myself have a little experience in Java programming, but am completely ready to expand that knowledge or learn whatever is required from scratch (go for another language?). The thing is, I don't have any idea what I actually need to know and where to apply it. So if someone could just point me into a direction and tell me what steps I need to take to get started, that would be awesome! I know making a game is a big task, this isn't about creating a professional, big game or something, this is more about the process of creating a game and learning it. Just see how far we can get. And where better to start than with the engine of many of my/our favorite games. Thanks in advance for taking your time to read and perhaps replying to this. fletchers Link to comment
lynx Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 the obvious thing from our website: http://www.gemrb.org/wiki/doku.php?id=contribute#make_a_new_game and the next link. I suggest you jumpstart by hacking on our bundled demo. It's currently just a buggy guy in an empty area. What you first have to do is figure out what exactly you want to achieve. "make a game" is too vague. Perhaps start with: - get another actor model - add it to the game - create a dialog version of rock-paper-scissors If you or your friend have no graphics experience, you can just skip the first line and have the character talk to a rock. Visit us on freenode for detailed stuff. Link to comment
