Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

EDIT1: Absolute first draft of map, done by mouse in paint. You'd start in the right most region, and work your way to the left most region. It's just a rough draft of how the general layout would be. By the way, the reason I'm doing all this so far in advanced, is because I really enjoy seeing progress in my life. I enjoy seeing myself get better as time goes on, and I definitely want to see myself go from knowing near nothing to being somewhat adept at what my goal is. Artistically, technically, and just...in general.

Plus, thread in programming forum.

Basic concept design is to make a game based around being a small time dictator that's trying to rise to power against an old regime/monarchy that has overstayed it's welcome. That being said, the country is scared of the change, and skeptical you're right for the country, or that you'll properly support their village. You must rise from the dictator of a small city in the Eastern Jungle, to capturing the capital in the Western mountainous region.

For now, the game will be based entirely around the map game. The map will be of the nation. You can choose the name for the nation, or eventually I'll come up with a name, whatever sounds more appealing. From there you'll be in your home region of Nobidia. This will be the tutorial region. You'll learn how to take over each village by different means: Propaganda, death squad intimidation, military invasion, assassination of village leader, maybe more options, I don't know. You'll also learn how each village (and the way you capture it) adds to your overall soldier count, which you need to occupation of territories and military invasions of villages and the capital cities of each region.

Does this sound like a decent game, and an easy first project? Suggestions to simplify or improve?

Within a month, I hope to have a first alpha of the game. Add me to MSN and I'll let you know how the project goes later on. s p a c e goa t 2 0 00 @ hot mail.com without the spaces. I hope all goes well with this, but I need to first make very basic things first. I also need to buy a tablet to make the map with and what not, so this will obviously be a long, long project for me that I'll do casually for quite some time.

yeah, i know

just first-time games from people who've never made a game or whatever tend to be shit

Jun. 18, 2009 | 11:59 AM Jezuz responds:

It won't be my first game when I release it, as I'll have worked 6 months-a year on it, and will have made 3-4 versions of it by then. I'm not going to rush out a pile of shit. I don't need to be represented in that way.

Jun. 18, 2009 | 12:40 PM LTmatt says:

aight n***a

u shit be tite

actually sounds kind of good after reading the concept thing, like mount and blade without like that kinda shit

Jun. 18, 2009 | 1:15 PM Jezuz responds:

Cool stuff.

Jun. 18, 2009 | 12:42 PM MaciekOst says:

Sounds good. What will you be using to make this?
Though if it's your first project, don't get too ambitious. I've seen a lot of people with ludicrously huge projects that end up dead (the projects, not people).

Jun. 18, 2009 | 12:48 PM Jezuz responds:

No, trust me this is a very cut back version of what I eventually want to do. This will be a very basic game, however I want to make it as fun and polished as my limited experience can make it. Basically I want it to be a point and click adventure almost, just not really. I won't release a shitty game, ever.

Oh and I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking of learning C++ first, but I don't know how much good that will do me if I intend on making a flash based game. What should I learn for that?

If you want to make a flash game, ActionScript is a must.

Jun. 18, 2009 | 1:18 PM Jezuz responds:

Awesome then. ActionScript 3.0 it is.

Jun. 18, 2009 | 8:32 PM LTmatt says:

i'm like, not getting it or whatever

Jun. 18, 2009 | 8:37 PM Jezuz responds:

You blow up shit.

To rescue Mars.

You're in space.

I like the game. Enough of this bullshit talk though.

Jun. 18, 2009 | 8:43 PM LTmatt says:

i'm like 20 minutes in, and there's like, a mission that i did that was like i had to go out with a big truck and blow up a place.
it was boring.

i'm only like, 20 minutes into the game so maybe that's why it's so yeah? it's like, i don't get it but i wanna like like it but i don't want to go play it now because it's like all ehhhh and shit. is prototype any good?

Jun. 18, 2009 | 9:00 PM Jezuz responds:

Worth a torrent. RF:G is awesome though. Maybe I was high the entire time I played it, and that's why I loved it so much. I dunno. Go and destroy shit with your sledge hammer, like smoke stacks and shit. It's fun.

Jun. 18, 2009 | 9:13 PM LTmatt says:

Jun. 18, 2009 | 9:39 PM Jezuz responds:

I dunno about it sounding easy to make, but it sounds fun.

Jun. 21, 2009 | 10:05 PM HWDog35 says:

Sounds pretty advanced for a 1st project. Are we looking for a Feudalism game or what?

Jun. 25, 2009 | 5:34 AM voodoobob says:

I could Help you with some of the graphics.....PM me about it if your interested. you should really change your profile pic though, Its probably scaring people away.

Jun. 25, 2009 | 6:23 AM Jezuz responds:

I'm in the earliest stages possible. Learning stages. I'll let you know when I start working on the game itself :)

Also pfft, his ass is beautiful. It's a gift to Newgrounds, if anything.
