/!\ Game In Progress : Project Troy /!\
This is a very very early stage I am in with this game.
I could use some input and guidance.

I am starting to work on this game but then it I just realized I can't program worth crud.
If anyone around here could help me figure out what to do with this, please help.
Also could you guys tell me what you think from what you get of the screen shot of it.
Looks nice, but I think there's a whole subforum for games in progress, but I'm not sure. Keep up the work thou.

could you redirect me to that subfourm?
I wasn't sure where to put this.

That subforum is for multiplayer type stuff
I still could really use some help with this project if anyone is up for the Challenge though.
what are you programming it in?
[QUOTE=jack10685;40835395]what are you programming it in?[/QUOTE]
Right now sadly its just MS paint. I haven't worked out which program to use.

lol, you should use gamemaker and code it in GML (because drag and drop is is for pussies)
Games in Progress is for wanting to [B]play [/B]games with FP people iirc. This should be fine.

what is GML? I know what gamemaker is though.
[QUOTE=DR_D;40850473]what is GML? I know what gamemaker is though.[/QUOTE]
a coding language made by the people at game maker to code their games, similar to javascript. If you want, i can code while you make the art, I don't really do much outside of being on my computer these days.

Also have you made any games before?

yes, some pretty good ones, sadly they are all lost now and I haven't worked on any in a while. I suck at art for the most part and that kind of puts me out of coding games.

think you could make a quick demo of what you could do on your own?
It doesn't have to be pretty or anything.

ok, I'll start now.

grate can't wait to see what things you can do!

found one of my older betas I abandoned because of my inability to art correctly (it's a download, if you don't mind). All of the main glitches are from something art-wise in some way or another. [url]http://www.mediafire.com/download/94ccduxtt43cgdd/Gray-Default-0.1.2.1.exe[/url]

Not too bad
-the bugs.
How well can you make chat boxes and things close to that though?
Are you a good artist?
If so, perhaps you could benefit more from a less minimalistic artstyle. I don't say this because I think yours look shit (the face is fantastic), I say it because minimalistic 2d isometric styles are a bit generic for games using MS paint art.
I think making the rooms, objects, and character bigger and more detailed would help make this game visually more interesting. It being more visually interesting of course means work have to be put into each new part, but it also means more people won't be off put by the game from first glance

If you share the work so that you do the art and jack does the programming, you'll after all be given more time to work on the art than if you did all the programming by yourself.

pretty easily, I would just make it print text to a box (that covers the inv box) and swallow the arrow keys/WASD until you exit the box.

Thanks for the tips. I might think of adding more detail it's just less right now because it's in early development stages. I am just making it less so I get to the meat and bones of it.

Face Updated
add more frames!
I suggest moving his eyebrows too
[QUOTE=Lilyo;40925063]I suggest moving his eyebrows too[/QUOTE]
Only when he has a different emotion, maybe. Otherwise it'd look stupid.
Maybe you should give some insight into what the game even is, programmers don't exactly jump at projects with no direction or even a basic explanation of what they'll be doing. Not to be rude but you seem like a young ideabro which is a huge turn off to most. Although Your graphics are good, you're asking for commitment to a project from which we know NOTHING about, so I wouldn't expect much attention.

True, but I still haven't ask anyone to really jump on this project just yet anyways.
I am more less looking for Tips on what to do at this point.
