Game Development

Is there a chance that somebody in this chat room has come over a good website selling very high poly character models, medieval, village fantasy? : d

PythonInProgress

for a tabletop game?

Mikolaj Marcisz

I am currently creating an mmo

PythonInProgress

idk then :P

Mikolaj Marcisz

I am supposed to create a mock-up, of my game and I might get free college for 3 years

$150k dollars saved + my project might get picked up by CDPROJEKT RED

PythonInProgress

cool :D

Mikolaj Marcisz

3:26 PM

2 min. trailer with locations showing a very diverse world

the player character is over 30k polygons but there are no monsters/people wandering around, yet

PythonInProgress

i cant help, but gl

Mikolaj Marcisz

:

I have been seraching Turbosquid

daz3d.com

cgexchange~

dexsoftdexsoft-games.com

:P

but nothing :/

arteria3d.com

3:31 PM

:P

alex to the rescue

Alex M.

I bought the brown caves I kept on showing in Ars Ignis from arteria

as well as a female warrior I've yet to show here

the owner will contact you directly and upload the things for you somewhere

but he's trustworthy

Kikaimaru

@MikolajMarcisz $150k dollars saved ? your collage costs $150k for 3 years?

PythonInProgress

im making a new website @AlexM.

Alex M.

sounds good

PythonInProgress

The Programm3r's Domain

Alex M.

3:35 PM

it's decent for a 13yo :P

when I was your age I was working on a website for gamers, called gamers' castle lol

PythonInProgress

:P

LOL

Mikolaj Marcisz

game direction costs a lot

Alex M.

is this mmo a real idea of yours or are you doing it just for the college?

Mikolaj Marcisz

my real idea, I want to do college in spare time : D

Alex M.

an you're willing to pass it over to cd projekt

who, even if they are the best guys in gamedev today, will change it to their liking

interesting

Mikolaj Marcisz

3:43 PM

Not for free, if I would be to direct it out there with a proper cut, this would be awesome

Alex M.

shucks

no money could buy ars ignis away from me, ever

my creation is my identity

I'd lose it that way

Mikolaj Marcisz

Im not giving it away!

I want it to get a proper money siringe

Alex M.

dunno mate, but I'm pretty sure you'd only get a bottom row credits entry only

Mikolaj Marcisz

If I were to get 20% cut, having 30 proffesionals to work with.. I'd fall for it

If I direct it...?

Alex M.

money must be your real identity then

Mikolaj Marcisz

3:45 PM

PS. It is an MMO, I am needed there!

Not going to give it away for nothing, not going to leave it behind at all ;)

Alex M.

of course you are, in the best case, a bottom-row programmer :A

but don't mind me, I'm just being a troll again

Mikolaj Marcisz

I will still develop this game

Yeah

I noticed

Don't feed the trolls...

But still I don't mind :P

PythonInProgress

:p

Alex M.

I'm just confused how easily you people would give your game which could have your signature on the box, for a bit of cash

PythonInProgress

not me

Mikolaj Marcisz

3:47 PM

no boxes lol

IT IS AN MMO

CONSTANT DEVELOPMENT

Alex M.

Mikolaj Marcisz's <game name>

see this happening?

only if you don't give your game away

also WoW comes in a box

your argument is invalid

Mikolaj Marcisz

hmm

I see where you are headed..

:P

EGOCENTRIC buddy : D

Alex M.

just find something you won't want to give away, even for money

that's what you want to work on

PythonInProgress

:D

Mikolaj Marcisz

I want to live my dream to create the greatest game

If you look at Tibia, first graphic mmo

You will know that every player knows who made it, even though they sold the project

Alex M.

3:50 PM

who made Tibia?

sorry, but when it comes to particular persons behind games...

PythonInProgress

who wants to find me some amazing techno audio

:P

being serious tho

Alex M.

I only know of... that guy from Avernum whose name I forgot AGAIN damnit

and that is his game

and I guess Carmack

Mikolaj Marcisz

►

Alex M.

and that's about it

anyway, do what you want

Mikolaj Marcisz

Do you know Lord British?

Alex M.

3:52 PM

the guy behind Ultima? of course I know him, he's a freaking NPC too

and a central one at that

but otherwise, I wouldn't have heard of him

Mikolaj Marcisz

He sold it to uncle EA

Alex M.

okay

your point?

Mikolaj Marcisz

If you make a good product, and you are known as the main person behind the game title you will be known...

Alex M.

the thing is, the only moment you'll be having a playable real something

Mikolaj Marcisz

Even if you don't know someones name it doesn't really matter..

Alex M.

3:54 PM

it's when CD Projekt will have already added their name on it

Mikolaj Marcisz

Do you know Sapkowsky?

Alex M.

nope

Mikolaj Marcisz

He created the Witcher universe

Alex M.

cool

but his name must be on the books

not CD Projekt's

Mikolaj Marcisz

:P

Alex M.

3:56 PM

you do what you want, as I said

Mikolaj Marcisz

Still you haven't known that, and almost every article on the game ahs that name

PythonInProgress

:D

Alex M.

but don't expect CDP to allow you to do something interesting

I am sure you don't have as much experience as their worst programmer, since you mentioned you're not even in college yet

so you'll pretty much lose control of the project

Mikolaj Marcisz

:P

Alex M.

you get the money, yeah

you lose the idea

Mikolaj Marcisz

3:57 PM

Ill also do a parallel kickstarter funding

Alex M.

if the idea is crap, this might get into your advantage

Mikolaj Marcisz

And make sure that I keep my last word ;)

And it is not

Alex M.

if the game becomes ultra-awesome, don't tell your kids you sold it when you could have done it yourself

Mikolaj Marcisz

I got to go : /

was nice talking with you :)

Alex M.

I can imagine a persuasive CDP employee convincing you that you don't need to have the last word

PythonInProgress

3:58 PM

:D

Alex M.

or worse yet, convince you that you have the last word, and basically lie

Mikolaj Marcisz

I am the most assertive son of a B..... you have ever spoken to :P

Bye!

:)

Alex M.

dunno man, but devs kinda cower each time a publisher comes by

Mikolaj Marcisz

see you later

Alex M.

you're probably less scary

think well before selling it

if CDP thinks one of your ideas is crap, and you won't drop it, they might just drop you

PythonInProgress

4:01 PM

:D

hey @AlexM.

look at my profile

my gd.se one

Alex M.

yes

I'll keep on calling you pip anyway

it's better

PythonInProgress

:D

thats fine

it matches my website tho

oops. I forgot to add the site to my profile

added now

check it out.... only a .webs.com subdomain, but whatever

Alex M.

looks cool, but you need more content

PythonInProgress

:P

ik

it will come

gonna put the python logo in the heading

@AlexM. should my logo be my hat shaped moon or the python logo?

Alex M.

whichever you like

TheProgramm3r

4:10 PM

i want u to decide :P

Alex M.

the hat

it's not copy-trade-whatever-marked

TheProgramm3r

:P true

it is now (C) Benjamin Ward

trademarked btw @AlexM.

Alex M.

the hat then

TheProgramm3r

:D

it is uploading

k done

Alex M.

it even fits with the background

cool

TheProgramm3r

4:13 PM

:D

make an account on my site?

i want all of the people i refer to as Programm3r's (mostly GD.SE people) to have one

Alex M.

I'd rather you referred to me as alexm

TheProgramm3r

:P

WTF

i have 101 rep

someone went and upvoted both of my answers and my question

Alex M.

lol friendly guy I guess

TheProgramm3r

was that u @AlexM.?

Alex M.

nope

TheProgramm3r

4:16 PM

@AlexM. yeah

idk then :D

Alex M.

I'm the least friendly guy on this chat

was thinking you'd know that already

TheProgramm3r

:P

Alex M.

nah, I'm just an asshole

TheProgramm3r

actually, @IcyDefiance is the least friendly

Alex M.

or rather it's very rare someone else and I click and become bff

TheProgramm3r

4:18 PM

:P

lol

i got +63 rep from one question

Alex M.

it was an okay question, that's why

TheProgramm3r

....

it was an answer

Alex M.

it was an okay answer, that's why

TheProgramm3r

:P

A: How can I mod an item to take experience from a player in Minecraft?

You could look in the game code to find the code for enchanting. Since that takes away experience, it should tell you how, although it may be in levels. Also, you could look in the code for the anvil. In those, you should find variables for experience. You could probably subtract from those varia...

4 upvotes and an accept

lots of probablys that Byte forgot to edit out tho

Alex M.

I wish more people would ask more questions about architecture and diagrams

TheProgramm3r

4:21 PM

:D

vanilla code snips

bbiab gotta eat

TheProgramm3r

4:41 PM

im back

wo0t i got a new badge: autobiographer :D

@AlexM. @IcyDefiance hey two meanest people in chat

Icy Defiance

@TheProgramm3r on the topic of your website, have you learned any HTML/CSS yet?

TheProgramm3r

@IcyDefiance a bit

html

@IcyDefiance Like my new name btw?

Icy Defiance

mm, I have a shared hosting plan I'm paying for already, and I'm willing to share it, since I don't need anywhere near the bandwidth available. you'd have to code from scratch, though, or use Wordpress, and a domain would cost about $10/year.

would be a lot faster, more flexible, more professional looking. just a lot more work.

TheProgramm3r

true

i has no monies online :P

i need to go buy one of those walmart credit cards

@IcyDefiance that would be amazing once i get my money onto a credit card

Icy Defiance

well you could also have a subdomain of icydev.net for free, but that kills half the professional look by itself.

TheProgramm3r

4:54 PM

:P

yeah

very cool tho

i gotta go, see u later

Icy Defiance

i hear people who program professionally spend so MUCH time on the program planning phase, all before writing any lines of code.

team programs atlast

this is true?

Icy Defiance

I'm not a pro yet, but from all the pros I've talked to both on the internet and in person, it seems true.

I think it makes sense. programs turn into a horrible, ugly beast if you start without a great plan.

when you're talking about enterprise applications, the tiniest problems get increased by several degrees of magnitude, and making even trivial changes requires all the proper paperwork and tests and whatever else.

Kikaimaru

how MUCH is much? it shouldnt be longer then 20% of development time (at least i've never seen anyone spending more time on it usefuly)

►

gui upgrade :)

Icy Defiance

5:25 PM

my professors claimed they spend more time on planning than programming. I didn't get any specific ratio, though, and I got the impression that it can vary a lot depending on the project

well one of my profs is a contractor for companies looking to upgrade from COBOL age systems, and he spends nearly all of his time just on paperwork and maintenance, and just a few hours a week on actually upgrading things, but that's probably not the norm.

Alex M.

6:35 PM

I spend a while planning

I guess pretty much everyone here knows of my documentations and diagrams

Icy Defiance

personally, I usually plan the exact scope of my project, and the steps it'll take to get there, then the structure of the code comes naturally

Alex M.

changed my avatar to something that I think fits my overall temper a bit more

ToddersLegrande

@AlexM. You letting pip get to you? :(

Alex M.

who said anything about pip :P

ToddersLegrande

I can only assume

Based on his rude comment towards you and icy earlier in the day

Alex M.

6:44 PM

it wasn't that rude

mine are usually more rude lol

but tiara's face isn't exactly avatar material for me

damn, I need to get rid of this hat

Icy Defiance

hey, I take great pride in not being nice. it was a compliment.

Code Assassin

@IcyDefiance lets play rude commentary.

can I start?

I am good at this game.

Icy Defiance

no. go away.

Code Assassin

@IcyDefiance Good you started. Do you have a GF? Is she mean too?

Alex M.

@IcyDefiance #fatality

Code Assassin

6:48 PM

Or the equivalent.

Icy Defiance

no gf. the state of my life right now means I haven't known many people smart enough to be around for more than a couple hours without being real pissed off. and if I did meet someone I could stand, I wouldn't be able to ask her out anyway.

Alex M.

no worries mate

you'll probably meet a girl who'll ask you out herself

there's got to be a #maninthefamily afterall

BANG

do I win the game?

Icy Defiance

what game?

Based on his rude comment towards you and icy earlier in the day

Alex M.

let's see what's changed in RuneScape in the past ~year

ToddersLegrande

TheProgramm3r

ToddersLegrande

ToddersLegrande

I much prefer watching and playing SC2

TheProgramm3r

why?

ToddersLegrande

Personal preference? I find LoL boring to play and watch

TheProgramm3r

ToddersLegrande

I prefer playing Dota over LoL but I still think watching SC2 > Watching Dota even

TheProgramm3r

8:47 PM

Alex M.

it's the only one I did not try

ToddersLegrande

@AlexM. I've had that happen to me far too many times

Alex M.

since I meant to change my password to this password, it must be something I always remember

ToddersLegrande

I can only assume typos the first few times I tried it
