   Swordsmen - 2D RPG Game with simple graphics
  Team name:Noxious ProductionsProject name:SwordsmenBrief description:Swordsmen will be a Manga-based RPG. It is based on a world with Swordwarriors. There will be 5 elements of swords: Stone, Fire, Water, Wood, Lightning. And 2 Primary elements for legendary weapons: Light and Dark. (This is not decided yet. But thats as far as I have gotten with that category.Target aim:We will atleast aim for the game to be released as "free to play". But our goal will be selling for money. (Probably not in stores) but on our own website.Compensation:If you wanna join this project, it's not for the money you do it. It's to get more skilled in your profession or learn to work as a team. You wont get paid. But if we reach our goal (see above), we will split the money.Technology:We will program the game in either C# or C++ depending on the language the programmers choose.Talent needed:2-3 Programmers, C#/C++1 Graphic artist to work on the sprites and graphic, and will take over much of my works.Team structure:Jonas Hoffmann - Music Artist, Graphic artist, Team leaderWebsite:www.Coldnoxious.comIt hasn't been made yet, but that will most likely be the name of the website.Contacts:Noxious44@hotmail.com[Edited by - Solizan on April 11, 2010 10:19:33 AM]
  Why limit it to C#/C++ if you don't even have any programmers yet?   ;Quote:Original post by FujiWhy limit it to C#/C++ if you don't even have any programmers yet?What do you mean by limit it to C#/C++ ?   ;  You've specified a language before you have anyone to fill the position. This means the only people that will be able to help you are those that know c# or c++. There are plenty of other languages that could accomplish the task of making this game as well.   ;Quote:Original post by FujiYou've specified a language before you have anyone to fill the position.

Also, I am planning to make the game online in some way. I just didn't write that in this topic cause it's not a professional team I am making. But that might happen. And then it will be better using C# or C++ depending on the programmer' skills   ;Quote:Original post by SolizanThere are plenty more features using those 2 languages. Plenty more features than what?Quote:Original post by SolizanAlso, I am planning to make the game online in some way.

And then it will be better using C# or C++ depending on the programmer' skillsI don't see how having the plan to make the game online, or multi-player, in anyway would affect what coding language you want to choose?I'd suggest having a clear definition of what elements you want for you game before you even consider selecting a programming language, or programmer. It's very possible that an engine currently exists which would accommodate everything you need. In that case, you may decide to use that Engine, in which case your programming language would be entirely dependent on how you are using it... (whether its straight code that you can edit (requiring you to be able to compile the engine in it's native language, or a DLL you include and use which could be imported into and compiled against many languages)I think that is what Fuji was getting at...   ;Quote:Original post by SolizanQuote:Original post by FujiThere are plenty of other languages that could accomplish the task of making this game as well.I am planning to make the game online in some way.

It would make it far easier to publish, since there are sites dedicated to host flash games.Just my $0.02 ;);  Hmm. I really had no idea that flash and Action Script could that too. I only know that C# and C++ is some of the most advanced programming languages. Atleast thats what I have heard.OK. I will also include all the other languages such as Action script and Flash for this game, That is if the programmers are most skilled in the language.   ;  Even visual basic could be used, many beginners programing books focus on this very subject. Java is a bit difficult to learn in my opinion.   ;Quote:Original post by SolizanHmm. I really had no idea that flash and Action Script could that too.

(There are tons of programming languages to choose from, so limiting yourself to 2 or even 10 is a bad idea)
