VB can be used for game design, just not making the full game.

I have experience in:
VB 3.0, 6.0, 2008
C#/C++
3DS max (3d animation)
Maya (3d animation)
many many many video editing software and audio creation software.

ALL VERY USEFUL FOR GAME DESIGN!

Also, do you want me to create the board, Wolf? I'm good with CSS and HTML. PHP is foreign to me!

**5NIPER_WOLF** · 04-25-2009, 08:01 PM

I'm creating the board itself but if you want to mess with the code you can

TJ Belfiore · 04-25-2009, 08:03 PM

Are you making me an Admin?

Are we working on a MMORPG or a RPG? Because one is going to be VERY VERY hard and will require some sort of MMO based knowledge. An RPG is simple and just takes ideas and C++ skills.

**5NIPER_WOLF** · 04-25-2009, 08:06 PM

Yes MMORPG, but as suggested, we start small so we can start with an RPG and then make it either online or a whole new MMORPG.

TJ Belfiore · 04-25-2009, 08:07 PM

Man, already we're having differences. I'll go along with your idea though, and see where it takes us. All the experience I'll get from this will be great, I'm sure!

So, have you created the board yet?

Indoril Nerevar · 04-25-2009, 08:09 PM

Okay, guys, I think it's time you exchanged email addresses and moved the discussion off the forum. You can use this thread to ask for help with issues, potential problems, etc, but it's not the place for your general design chatter.

**5NIPER_WOLF** · 04-25-2009, 08:10 PM

No, TSF has like 50,000 threads poping up every second and I can't keep up, I'll start the board right now, it will only take me like 2 seconds to get it online. Hey BTW, would you be willing to pay for a website, a full site or even a forum? I would send you half the money if needed.

TJ Belfiore · 04-25-2009, 08:10 PM

My apologizes, I'll exchange emails.

**5NIPER_WOLF** · 04-25-2009, 08:10 PM

Ok then I'll start talking on OUR board

TJ Belfiore · 04-25-2009, 08:11 PM

Thread lock please, Tiber?

Indoril Nerevar · 04-25-2009, 08:16 PM

Why not leave the thread open, in case you want to ask for help or suggestions?

TJ Belfiore · 04-25-2009, 08:19 PM

Lolz, my bad. I typed so fast I thought you were Tiber.

Leaving it open would be a good idea. I have a few questions:

Would it be illegal to make a complete "sequal" to Final Fantasy VII but just make it homemade AND NOT try and sell it or trade it away. freeware.

**5NIPER_WOLF** · 04-25-2009, 08:20 PM

Or final fantasy 8, but we could contact Square Enix for some rights.

Some people made their own version of Half Life 2 in 2-D form that was not made by Valve but they sold it

TJ Belfiore · 04-25-2009, 08:26 PM

Eh, FVII all the way, mate.

Indoril Nerevar · 04-25-2009, 08:35 PM

If you plan to do that, you would be best-off contacting the creators of the original game and asking for their permission, just in case. There shouldn't be any problem with it, as you're not making any kind of profit in any form, but you never know.

I'm not sure how it would work legally, but regardless, your best bet would be to contact the creators of the original game.

TJ Belfiore · 04-25-2009, 08:40 PM

How do you go about contacting them?

Indoril Nerevar · 04-25-2009, 08:42 PM

You can simply go to their website, find their "Contact Us" page, and send them an email. If they are fine for you to do it, you may want to ask them to send you written permission (on paper), in case it gets brought up later.

Mcninjaguy · 04-30-2009, 02:30 AM

I'm helping in this game but I'm gonna to make sure (sorry guys) that if I'm writing the script I will have full copyright over it so I can use it in other stories in case you know... it ever gets picked up, doubt that though

@5niper
just go look at new posts and choose the topics you know stuff about or read a post and be enlighted thats what I do, I've learned so much from being on this site

and obviously my help has lead me to being a mentor. I'm not the most knowledgeable but I know when to ask for help and where to explain (most of the time

I think this game might take a very long time maybe close to 9 months or so
its not like any of us has had any experience making a game and we are not a company so this is more like a very invested project for future learning ( I like learning about everything)

TJ Belfiore · 04-30-2009, 02:34 AM

Do whatever, I don't care. As long you help out with the RPG, It's all good.

Mcninjaguy · 04-30-2009, 02:47 AM

k cool man
