Design - HTML, XML.Writing - Has good imagination! :D (Sorry, I like that word :P).Now for the project :Name : Game CreatorGenre : Sim, RPGGraphics : 3DTarget Aim : Commercial or Free, we will be deciding this :)System : PC, Windows XP, Vista and 7Description : I will write here everything you will need to know.A Little About The Game Itself :This game/project, is all about creating your very own game, In a Game! You will be able to create vast numbers of games, sell them, and become the most popular Game Creator or Company.From the beginning of the game, you will be starting in "GameCreative University" (Fictional, not real). There, you will be selecting what you will be good at, such as Programming or Computer Art.When choosing your skills, you will be choosing what type of proffesion. If you have chosen Programming, you will be choosing wich renderer you will be good at programming. If you for example choose Computer Art,you will choose things like, 3D Modeling, Rigging/Animation, 2D Art and so on. Once you've gone to the university, you will begin your own game developing company. And once you have created one and named it, you will, (if you would like), begin looking for other game creators. With these working for you, you will be able to create even more advanced games, unlock new animations, models, textures, FX etc. etc. And once you have created your first game. You will be selling it all around the world, and get really famousand rich!Leveling System :When you choose what your proffession/proffessions will be at the university, it means that you will have more unlocked things from the beginning,like DirectX 10 or DirectX 11, OpenGL 2.0 or OpenGL 3.2, and much more. From the beginning you will begin with DirectX 8, but as you gain more experience, you will unlock more features.If you want to gain experience in something, you can either "Study at home" (Wich will bring you to a test), go to competitions, or go to a specific school.Making Your Game :First of all, you have to have an idea for your game, you select the genre (Medieval, Sci-Fi ,etc.), the gameplay style (FPS, Third Person Shooter, etc.) and the Main style (RPG, Action, Sim, Puzzle, etc.). You need to create your own models or buy some online (In the game of course!). You also will be programming it. (It won't be codes, you will be selecting various options for your object, or enviroment, etc. etc.)You can also recruit team members to help you to create your game, it will also speed up the progress, but you will need money so you can pay them.When programming a certain object, let's say we are programming "Water", you will choose the texture for it (Wich is in the game directory), you will choose how it will react to certain objects, if it damages certain objects. You will be able to choose vast amounts of options, once you have unlocked them all.Recruiting Team Members :When recruiting members, you will be chatting with them on the net. They might or will be asking what talents you have, what kind of game it is, where you are working or how much he/she will be paid. And when chatting you will be selecting options aswell.Once the recruited member works for you in you'r "Studio", he/she will ask you what you want him or her to do for you. To get the best out of your recruited members, you have to make them comfortable, like buying stronger computers for them, buying bigger desktops for them and much more.You will be paying amounts of money each month, week or year. It deppends on what you and the member have decided on the net.Upgrading Your Studio :You will be able to upgrade your studio, to make your team members more comfortable and to make it look how you want it. Upgrading your computers, and getting computers for each of your team members is very important, because if you don't,your team members will get bored and lose morale, you will not get very much effort into the game and if you are really unlucky (And poor), your team members will leave you. When upgrading your building, you will be choosing the colour of the walls, the floors and the roof.You will be selecting different types of floors, roofs, walls etc. You can build more rooms into your building, like a room for the 3D Artists and Animators, and a room for the programmers. (It can/will increase the speed and cooperation of your team members, as they will work with each other.)Making Your Game Commercial :Once you are done with your game, you might want more money for the next game. You need to inform the game site, (GameRealesor.net(Fictional).) on the net that you have realesed your game, then it will go worl wide, and you might/will get mail wich asks you if (the store asking you) can begin selling the game.If you accept, you will gain money each week, month and year from that game you are selling.Well that's mostly all that you need to know :)Contact :If you have any more questions, PM me, post reply here or send me an mail : eboss321@gmail.comThank you very much for reading.Hope to hear from you. :)Edward B.   
  So basically its like a graphical gamedev.net help wanted forums?  I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish.Are "team members" real players or AI?   ;  AI :)   ;Quote:Original post by eboss123you will need money so you can pay themI suppose this also apply to your game project? You didn't mention it. :D;  Hah, oops.. :)The game is quite unique, what do you think? :)   ;  I am currently looking for a writer and a programmer :) Thanks,Edward B.By the way, if you wonder what I am trying to acomplish, it is just something that i've been planning on making :) A pretty unique and different game, where you create games in! A game that let's you create a game, IN GAME! The game is basically a Sim/RPG where you assemble your team, upgrade you studio, create games and go world wide.Once again, thank you ;)Edward B.   ;  Not to be a fuddy duddy, but how you approach it doesn't sound that fun.I suggest if you want to do a game creation business sim you may want to check out , gamebiz and  Hollywood Mogul Both are very well made nitch market business sims.Not really what you're suggesting here, but to be honest, people would rather play as big boys and not as garage guys :)   ;  Why not use this sims as a way to introduce to actual behind the scenes real management? It would sound more fun and promising I believe.If interested, I can provide insight :)
