Anyone into Game Creation?

[Mak-X]

Is anyone here into Game Creation?

-What is everyone's experience with creating games?
It could be anything from making your own game from scratch to a rpg with a rpg maker or Zelda Classic quest. Things like graphics, sound, and level design count too.

-What have you worked on so far?

-What did you find difficult about it?

-What would you like to do next?


Is anyone thinking about pursuing a career in the video game industry?

pretty much mastered Worldcraft - the level editor/creator for Hlaflife/ Quake and most of their mods.

and i have experience in a bunch of 3d software, lightwave, 3d studio max, Cinema 4d, Bryce

what i really want to do is learn C++, but unfortunately, there is only 24 hours in a day

I worked with Graal for the longest time, then quit and moved on.

-What have you worked on so far?

Numerous little projects such as fangames and teeny remakes, though I lost all of it a while back. Right now I'm working on Damasca: The Conflicted Kingdoms, which is going to be an MMORPG.

-What did you find difficult about it?

Generally, the lack of tools or people to work with are the biggest snags you can hit when making your own game.
Here's a tip: Never hire strangers if you're going for a team. Only trust people you know, because you know them and they're more likely to be a friend and help.

-What would you like to do next?

Hah, that's a tough one! I've never really finished anything I started, aside from Damasca, and a few other things here and there. I suppose I'd like to make an innovative game based on my own universe of characters, once I figure out how.

Is anyone thinking about pursuing a career in the video game industry?

It depends on how well Damasca turns out, but maybe, just maybe, as long as I had my own company.

I've made 2 complete Zelda Quests, 3 incomplete RPGs on the RPG maker for PS, and one incomplete RPG on RPG Maker 2000.

The hardest thing in making games is finding motivation to keep going after you've seen the competition.

I have made countless unfinished games in MZX.

What is MZX?

And other than that....erm......

I enjoy creating some games, but I think I have much to learn before I can actually create a game that is worth the while and fun to play. I may consider creating games as a career, but for now, I'd like to be a Medieval Anthropologist.

Still, games are fun and fun to make.

I've made a tetris clone and am working on Z2E right now.
-What did you find difficult about it?
Fixing hard-to-find bugs.
-What would you like to do next?
I haven't thought about it since Z2E and it's add-ons will take a long time.

I wouldn't mind, but since I don't have much official experience or degrees most lickly no one would hire me.

One of the most importent words in my vocabulary: Level editor.

I have made a level 1 hack of Link's Awakining DX, and several rom hacks of other games. I like to play with Zquest(but I still have to get more quests out). Basically anything where I can edit the levels.
