We don't seem to have an actual topic yet, so... Are any of you guys interested in making games yourself?

 

[CarefulWetPaint]

About time the Video Game mod made a Video Game Club >.>

Username: CarefulWetPaint
Current Console of Choice: Xbox 360 (Playing more PC games atm though)
Favourite Game: The Assassin's Creed Franchise
Mario or Luigi? Mario probably, I dunno Luigi is pretty laid back though and a bit taller.

I have a question for you. Most fulfilling gaming experience? Or is this question more geared for the video game forums? /shameless plug.

 

[Ephemeral Euphoria]

Username - Xulek
Console Of Choice - X-Box 360
Favorite Game - The GTA series. Also the Bioshock series too.
Mario or Luigi? - Luigi because I prefer the underdog.

Most fulfilling gaming experience for me was Dead Space 1 & 2. Always kept my heart pounding, always had my intelligence and quick thinking challenged, always a thrill to play because I expected anything to happen within those games.

 

[Sector]

Username - Sector Revenge
Console Of Choice - Nintendo Wii (I've owned an Xbox 360 the longest however, but not anymore)
Favorite Game - Battlefield franchise, Fallout franchise, Islands of Wakfu, and especially any and all Mario games!
Mario or Luigi? - Toughie. Mario kick ass so I'm going with him!

 

[Shining Raichu]

Username: Shining Raichu
Current Console of Choice: Nintendo 3DS (it's right there and I don't have to go to the TV downstairs to play it :P)
Favourite Game: Right, now, anything in the Harvest Moon series.
Mario or Luigi? Luigi, of course! He's taller, more fun to use and wears green!

Are any of you guys interested in making games yourself?

No, I think if I were to make a game it would ruin the allure of playing them. I understand it'd be a really rewarding creative process, but I think getting involved with the technical side of things would just kill the magic for me.

 

[ToriSora]

Username:ToriSora
Current Console of Choice:3DS as of right now
Favourite Game:Kingdom Hearts 2/The World Ends With You It is so hard to decided
Mario or Luigi?-Mario All day every day XD

I have actually dabbled in game making myself on an extremely noob lvl. I once made a side scroller platformer. Was pretty awful.

I would love to work in the video game industry though, I think it would be such a fun environment to be working in and basically everyone you work with would have AT LEAST one thing in common with you, their love of video games.

/Ban hammer

ACTUALLY I JUST WANTED TO MAKE ONE SO WE COULD ALL ENJOY GAMING TOGETHER! NO ADVERTISING INTENDED.

Just so happened that in the rules I needed to clarify that there is an option to go somewhere for Online Gaming. ;D​

I know, really should have done this a while back.

And this is for Video Gaming in general, no shameless plugging involved! :D

Talk about anything gaming! :)​

​

We don't seem to have an actual topic yet, so... Are any of you guys interested in making games yourself?

Actually yes.
I graduated from a Games Technology course, so I know how to make games in a sense. I am currently working on a couple of different ideas but nothing like AAA games; more indie.​

​

 

[Cherrim]

I'm slightly interested in making games myself, but I think all I'll be qualified to do if I ever get out of university is the programming aspect whereas if I ever made a game, I think I'd have a lot more fun in the design process rather than bringing other peoples' ideas to life.

But I don't have any original ideas of my own anyway so I've never bothered trying to look into game dev. :(

 

[Captain Fabio]

Why don't you start an individual project?

It is all about brain storming. I have a couple of half individual, unique ideas but still, even having something is good.​

​

 

[Alice]

Heck, if you want, you can make a fangame of mario or zelda, or w/e. You won't have to do any custom art or music if you do.

Or just have crappy graphics like my games. lol

Right, topic of discussion has been posted in the first post and will be changed weekly.​

Your most crowning gaming achievement, online or offline.

Beating Nocturne. It's SO EASY to die in it, even on Normal (because thankfully there's no Easy mode so you're not allowed to be a wimp) if you mess up even ONCE. A single missed or ineffective attack can forfeit the turn for your entire team, then you get the crap kicked out of you when your opponents' turn comes. And I'm not getting started on the boss fights, those may as well be mentally scarring at times.

 

[Cherrim]

Your most crowning gaming achievement, online or offline.

Offline: Either completing KH2:FM or Tales of the Abyss. Both took about 200 hours and had a lot of teamwork between me and my roommate, so I still look back on it proudly. xD; Also, my LV1 playthrough of KH:BBSFM. Other KH games seem so easy in comparison now.

Online: I don't do a lot of online play but this one time, a bunch of us were playing L4D2 VS on the 360. I don't remember a lot of the details but the teams were horribly mismatched with a lot of experienced friends against this other friend and I. We lost the game, but owned the finale. It was Dead Centre and they got like 3 gas tanks and I think we either finished it or got really close, including one or two instances of me totally kiting Mork as the tank all around the map. XD; It was hilarious.

​

But I don't have any ideas at all. If I did, I'd do something with them. XD;

I used to have some original stories I'd come up with in high school when I was still aiming to become a comic book artist or something like that, but I can't really remember any of them. But I should go see if I have any of my old notes on them and see if any of it is even basic-RPG worthy. :B
