I don't know why you didn't start your Save the Pokemon! challenge earlier. Isn't it easier to start at te beginning, so then you have more time to take it slowly?

Colosseum and XD are the hardest ones to do that on imo. Deep Colosseum is going to be an ass hat, and I can't stress that enough.

Hmm... yay- More publicity for the gamedev section.

 

[Peeky Chew]

At last, it's moved to Game Dev! Although I still don't get it...

 

[Alternative]

It must've just gotten moved here randomly, or not. ;D I tried to get into Game Development once, but I couldn't figure it out. I had a great idea, but people thought it was too hard to implement. I couldn't even figure out how to install new maps on RMXP. :P

I used to be sort of into making games although really it didn't go any further than AdvanceMap for Pokémon Emerald, lol. Then I realised that I didn't have the time or the patience.

There are probably a lot more resources available now if you still want to give it a try, and there are plenty of threads around. Out of curiosity, what was your wacky idea? xD

That's hacking, not game development.

See this was why I was never really any good at it, lol. What's the difference anyway? =/

Well with hacks you edit the original games rom (I think), and with game dev you create it all from scratch.

My "wacky" idea was something like a race, or time trial type game. Pretty much, you'd have all these things to do, and you'd have to be fast. The faster you are, the easier the game would be for you, as there would be more trainers to fight and stuff. If you were slow at playing the game, all the trainers would be worn out from your rivals, and you wouldn't be able to battle them for the extra experience.

GameDev is far more customisible. The advantage of hacking was that everything was redymade, the battlesystem, the pokemon etc. But with the starter kits out there, that advantage is gone.

long live gamedev!

(Now, if only more games got completed...)

 

[Liraxus]

I honestly wish i could get Project Red off the ground, but i just got RPG Maker and dont understand squat about coding and graphics editing.

Also, GARNET, Y U NO GIVE MUSIC

I think the problem with a lot of fan-made hacks/games is that they never get completed. I've seen some of these games, and the most developed ones only go up to 5-6 badges usually.

 

[MilesG170]

Woot woot. Welcome to Game Dev. I wonder how long you will be here...

 

[Maple Meganium]

Is it cheating to subscribe this thread? :D

I have a very ambitious project in mind which, if completed, would revolutionize fangames, but I have a way of never finishing things...

 

[Alternative]

What ambition would this be? It seems interesting to have a new fangame which is different from the standard Pokemon style gameplay. :)

 

[Maple Meganium]

It's a secret ;) I don't want to get anyone's hopes up.

We need this thread to be active or a bomb will blow up.
What fangame would be best to just play for fun, and get into the whole fangame business? I haven't played one before, and I'm considering getting into it. D:

 

[NuclearWizard]

Yeah man, fangames are pretty epic. I've played quite a few.

Then when you play incomplete ones it's like "Noooo!" when they end.
