Members Needed For Project Eragon, Sign up now before it is too late!

Project Eragon

Me, Mad Dawg, and Teej are putting a game together based on the book Eragon and we need to make an official team. So far, we only have the leads. If you would like to sign up as a programmer, PM me an example of a game YOU, by yourself, made (the graphics will not be graded). If you would like to sign up to be a graphics artist, PM an example of your work to me. This game will first be programmed as a PC game to figure out the base of our game. Afterwards, we will program it in to a GBDS(Game Body DS). This will be a commercial game if we can get this team put together.

I'll join as a graphics person, ill send you the PM

Ok for the graphics department,

we will be needing those whose
not only making small sprites
but can make nice background paintings like
landscapes.

we should split into groups:

spriters (those who will make the actual character/items sprites)
tiles artists (those who can make tiles for the game)
huds designer (those who can do the nice HUDs design)

Agreed. Say, you coming on Yahoo teej?

Ahhh, I might've helped out, but sadly, I have no games I've made.

*cough* cutscenes *cough* ... I really hope I'm not bugging you guys about this, but, all I need is graphics, and I can program cutscenes.

I've already got someone doing 3D rendered Movies for the intro and through out the game.

how well can you program and are you willing to learn GBA programming soon after?

Chess, u said i already had a spot as a programmer Is that still in affect? Cuz i did make that inventory thing for the game (yes, it has some bugs but very easy to fix)

Can I at least see what you can do?

If you guys are serious about this then I will help. I have no artistic talent, but I am a good programmer (GML), I do not however know GBA what is that? I do not want to waste alot of time though, if people are just going to quit. Who is already in on the project?


~Abyss

Sure, umm... the trouble though, I need to work on a game of my own. Currently i'm like a "programmer mercenary".I've been worknig on making GML for others and helping/training AI. Right now i've currently been learning GML (quite good with it now) and pixeling (i'm not to great). So, i'll work on a game and stuff. Not sure how long it will take though, with school, cuz it doesn't take to long to write some scripts and stuff.So, i'll work on a game and pm it to u when done.

Well GBA Programming is GameboyAdvance Programming. I have a forum with a couple tutorials with getting started on setting up your environment, and testing.

GBA Programming Community?

Well on your forum your links are down. I will work on learning it (all it is is C right?), and I have a GBA too. What does this have to do with the project, will it be ported to the GBA?


~Abyss

Im currently updating my forum with a new perspective. Should be up in the next couple days. As for Eragon, we are making a PC version, then "probably" with the same sprites convert it all over to GBA after.

We will have to be certain to makes sprites that the GBA will support. I hope that this works out because it would be awesome to play a game we made on the GBA. Would be great to sell it too.


~Abyss

Hi,

my first post in pixel forum!

I wanna join as an assistant programmer.
I program in C/C++.

Chessmaster: I'll send you a little game I did later
Mad Dawg: do I have to send the game to you too?

Yeah, I'll take it too.

I think it's easier to upload it to upshack so anyone who wants can see it

Here's the only game I ever finished, and it's in portuguese!
But hopefully you'll be able to play it:

Nhac

And a little demo I did using opengl and stencil buffers:

circle

Sources are included.

Interesting, what language were they programmed in (I think it is C but I dont know for sure).


~Abyss

Yes, they're both in C.

I made that game to play with 4 people but I only managed to play with 3 people max. (and my friends usually died in the 3rd level lol)

Well you will certainly be a valuable asset when (if) we do the GM to GBA conversion.


~Abyss

Ok initial reality I believe you have the capabilities of helping us out. Your in.

Cool! I hope we can start soon.
Is it going to be RPG?
Turn-based or zelda-like fights?

Yeah, its RPG like, and turn based.
