I heard Riphstar is working on a scroller too.

Sorry, I edited my post. I don't know what kind of game I want it to be.

What's your game about?

I want to do a game based on my FanFiction. But I don't have any software for it. :cry2 :cry2

I have no clue.I haven't read your fanfic yet. Maybe you can help me out with a story.

I'm thinking of making carnavore in to a third person fighting game were you get to play as Mecha-rex I'm thinking its going to be for X-BOX

I'd personally draw inspiration from "Clock Tower 3" and "Haunting Ground" for an engine. Now hear me out. Little and co. are small. Sharpteeth and co. are big. HIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You don't domuch fighting, but you do a lot of puzzle-solving. And I'd pair that with a some RPG elements and an actual plot for a LBT video game.

I'd create PC First Person Shooters with an M rating.

I'd think that A LBT game is a good idea I like to see one were you play as all charactors but I would like to see better attacks and thats the problem with the LBT games they have out now there all for the yong kids dont take me wrong I'm sure there fine but I like to see a LBT game for us older kids.

I would like to see a complex LBT game like predator concrete jungle or halo.
one idea is that it should be like a third person game like predator concrete jungle also I like it to were the gang has special attacks like littlefoot he'll use something like a spining attack were he would spin on his back and knock down his opponent with his neck and tail.
also the story also should be complex and not just a short three mission game each caractor should have his or hers own story but stick with the main story.its one story by a diffrent prospective.

OK people, let's try not to go beyond my ability.

I think the best example of something I"d like to see in a LBT game would be an adventure game combined with RPG elements.

We have to remember that the world wouldn't logically sell large numbers of weapons, armor, and the like. I'd like to see an engine similar to Donkey Kong 64, or Banjo-Kazooie for the N64. These were very good adventure games, and their style would suit nicely to an LBT adventure game.

Um, Cyber, this is LBT we're talking about here, not some "shoot 'em up" game. Let's stay true to the essence here.

I definitely agree. LBT is nothing about shooting (though sometimes I think people would want to admit anything to LBT so long it causes bloodshed :angry:). There have been several LBT jump and run games already and I can't say any of them were very original.
An LBT game could really profit from a detailed plot. A good story the characters have to go through by solving riddles, talk to other characters (with different options on what they could say), maybe some running and hiding... I think a good plot would be much better than just counting the sharpteeth killed by Littlefoot hopping onto their heads.

Then the perfect answer would be a point and click adventure game. You can have a story, voice acting, cutscenes, and PUZZLES. Can't have a game without puzzles.

A found a few adventure engines here.
Wintermute
PaC-DK
Adventure Game Studio
AGAST

Or maybe a first person adventure.
Adventure Maker

Platformer?
Game Maker

An RPG???
RPG Maker XP

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES!

If we could get a few members here working on an LBT game, this would make for a fantastic project!

I have experience with RPG maker 2000 and RPG maker 2003, as well as MIDI / Music composition experience (duh

) and some C++ programming knowledge.
I could probably learn RPG maker XP rather quickly, and I'm completely open to other genres. Thanks for the large list of game-making programs, Jojo. This is perfect B)

and LOL the Music Maker program within "Adventure Maker" looks like a Really watered-down version of what I'm using for my latest midi project

: Sorry, I just had to mention this, hehe.

Jojo, if you can download MSN, along with anyone else who is interested in this project, it will make communication for working on it, as well as file sharing, much easier.

JojotheIncredible · **Reply #16 on:** April 17, 2006, 09:47:54 PM

You are welcome! Here's some more.

MAD(Adventure)
Clean Game Library(Platformer)
DarkBASIC(3D games)
Game Editor(Platformer)
KoF'91
KoF'91(Fighting)lol
Sphere(RPG)

That's all for now.

P.S. MSN would be great!

I would love to take part in this project!

I've always wanted to create a LBT game but I never had the right programs or knowledge to do it.

You can get MSN here
http://messenger.msn.com/Xp/Default.aspx
My MSN identity is action9000@hotmail.com

Personally, I'm very interested in DarkBASIC. I'm downloading it now, but the pro version isn't free, nor is it especially cheap.

i'm more than willing to check out other options though. I'll play with DarkBASIC in my own time

Hey, Jojo. Are there any FPS engines. I'm talking about classic, pixilated FPS like Doom and Marathon.
