Contest: GameDev.Net - Four Elements IV

[cairnswm]

Just browsed through most of the screen shots from the previous contest. I know it was in 2002 but on average I think the Pascal contest we had was on average better than the entries I saw.

savage: if your 7yr old came up with that idea I think something went on in the way you brought him up :shock:

It was a collaborative effort. I'd say, do you think this would be fun, he would say yeah or neah or suggest something else. Since he plays Age of Mythology, he wants it to be more like that, but I'm not that keen on that idea.

So he wants RTS you want RPG with FPS Adventure overtones.

Dont you just love all these Abbreviations

I'm on his side

oh boys i like the smalltalk

hm i think some times about my idea and iam worried about the
on pixel correct collision :?
thanks to Magellan(for pixel perfect collision) and MSX(for the great sphere collision)

but i think i can do it, i hope i need no more then a month of time
and 2 month for the game, i can begin coding on first August only :?

A¤hm short question:
are the results will be download able?

[Traveler]

are the results will be download able?

Not sure if I understand you correctly, but afaik gamedev.net will place a copy of the game on their server. Source code does not have to be included but is appreciated.

[Daikrys]

hm i was thinking if the game is cooll enough i will make it to shareware
but i also understood it will take a lot more time

i hope some people will include their source

when i finished the gameengine i will wrote eventually some tutorials
to some facts

[cairnswm]

Yes - if your game is good enough you may sell it. BUT the version that you hand in for the contest will be freely avaialble from the DemDev.net site for about as long as forever.

Read some of the contest forum remarks - this has been asked already.
