This is similar to the topic Imaginatin Nation created, but different... What do you think of making a game created by the members of this forum? We'd come up with an idea together, everyone can download and edit the .gmk and re-upload it to make a newer version with their own additions. Of course we would probably have to vote or something, when a new version is uploaded, that way people can't just take-over the project by themselves! What do ye think?

Well no, anyone can download and update it at anytime, and re-upload the newest version. If two people update it at the same time, we can just add the new stuff to the other. |

I disagree with the bit about "so no-one takes over the project". If the game diverges into two versions made by different groups, who cares? So much the better: they will ultimately end up as two distinct games. And that way if one of them blowsover we will have the other. My issue is this: who will submit it to Yoyo? It only gives support for one creator and one collaborator, and I'm not even sure the collaboration system works. |

We could appoint a project leader, then mention all names in credits and the description of YYG. The project leader could also be in charge of which version becomes the official version. |

Either that, or we could set up a yoyogames account called "GGF Gaming", or whatever we call our team... But I like Grabeoama's idea better. Maybethe project leader (who we could elect later) submits it, and puts Grabeorama (Lord, Master, and Creator of this forum) as the collaborator, then, do things like writting in the decrition "Created by (team name)", and stuff like that... The other main problem is that we would have to add things explainning what's going on at pretty much every point in the programming... |

Still, it should work out. If it does go ahead, I'll make a page for it on the website, where you can download the source and send the newer versions. |

I dont think we should make a big deal of the leader, does anyone want to volunteer themselves or someone else? Ahh! The GMC are doing something similar to this! I just read on the GM Blog that they are making a community game...ours is open source though... |

Actually no, I checked the topic and it has been there for a while, but no action had been taken until now. But if we get going soon, we could finish our game first

Good. We still need to decide on a genre. Either that or someone could just dig out an old game gatherig dust on their computer and post it up. |

Yeah, next is the genre. Anyone have any preferences? I think maybe platform would be good, we could always have a vote? |

VOLUNTEERED! umm... This is similar to the game I created, but different... but not really... this is the sort of thing I was thinking about with Team Comps... except people would be divided into two group not one big group... I guess this is easier... well I read most of the discussion... people say what they can do... e.g. make sprites, music, character designs/development/sketches... and it sort of all gets put in different topics like the Yoyo Rival subforum... then the team leader would say who is going to edit the game next... appoint... but there is mutiny where everyone disagrees with the leader and they either get a new leader or the captain is forced to agree with his crew... I've sort of turned this into a metaphor... anyway... so people who make sprites music don't really need to edit the game all the time, other people, when they edit the game can put them in... the game should basically be edited for programming and level designs... and importing stuff... there needs to be as less trading of the game as possible... but people can upload some examples of stuff... like programming of characters which are separate to the game... something important to remember is when programming... explaining what you are doing is vital.... this can be done in //code like this ... or by using the /!\ drag and drop signs... and people need to know how it is going to be programmed... drag and drop... code... or drag and drop and code when necessary or different objects can be programed differently... e.g. characters, menus, effects... and the genre could be adventure... everyone can have their own characters to have in the game, like I was thinking of doing as a story in Yoyo Rivals... and having characters like The Harry&George team... The SN team... etc. |
This is my signature. Enjoy

Considering i'm not the best programer compared to the majority of this forum and I do not have pro. I am not going to be editing the gmk. So this kind of leaves me to sprites with I am happy to be doing. BTW I think the character idea is great. |
