Moody 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2005 Here in the netherlands some people are organising a game tournament. I and a friend (and a teacher as a coach) are going to apply. You have to make a game by yourself with game maker. I don't know if you know the program. It's real cool. (no good graps or so) it's more for noobs that don't know programming language. You can only enter on high school and the team has to be from 2 to 5 members. If you live in the netherlands and want to join go to Make-a-Game. If you want to try the program go to GameMaker. So if some of you use or used the program and have some tips or hints for me to make a good game...pls post here. O and, almost forgot, it had to be a educative game. We had the plan to make an advanture game in the old Roman empire. If you're dutch, i'm hoping you will join to. (you have to apply at least tomorrow, so be quick).

seanooi 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2005 Wow, that's fun, but just to let you know, the GameMaker link you posted redirected me to a page with just google ads. Is that suppose to happen or is my computer just playing around with me.Anyway, If i could, I'd definitely be glad to help you out, unfortunately i can't. So here, I wish you all the best of luck in winning the competition and may god be with you. :PLet us know when the results are out, I for one am anticipating the results.

Moody 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2005 Sorry guys, it's the wrong link. It has to be this one GameMaker. It's a .nl site. But text and so on is in English, so don't worry about that. I hope you accept my apologies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorkaplex 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2005 I would suggest switching to 3d gamestudio. It's very easy to learn and incredibly powerful. Some of the code you can get fo free on the forums will allow you to use the same techniques used in the latest 3d engines such as doom 3, quake 4 and the source engine (as in half-life 2, css, vampire masquerade, etc.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Game maker makes excellent games, allows you to add a lot of code, and isnt solely made for 3D games... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
