new slig game
 
hi every one, this is my first ever post. I am a great fan of sligs (there so cool) and with being so i would like to make a slig game. I know some of you will be saying "already been done" but i mean a game that is just as good as the first oddworld game. I know it would be hard and heres what makes it harder:
1, i dont know how to make a game
2, i have no money
3, i dont understand the code stuff
4, its hard enough as is it to make a game like this
So if anyone knows how i could pull this off without using to much money then please help. If im just talking crap and this cant be done then also say cause i always thought of it to be a good idea.

well iv got mi cuz to help me. does any one know where i could find the oddworld models such as sligs and slogs?

Software Bug 08-30-2004 02:36 AM

so you want a 2D game like AO & AE and want serperate models??
i don't think there are any programs for that.
And if they are there i think they are not cheap!!
the program i gave you is the only free one....

rockin-slig 08-30-2004 04:49 AM

i think im gonna save up for it. any ways, i think ya can get the models since there pritty simple anyways. does anyone know of a place where ya can get backgrounds from the oddworld games so i can make a demo of the game.

Welcome to the forums rockin slig.

A game?Like Drew the slig's games? I have no clue about bulding a game. I don't how your going to make one. (I'm so useless)

Edit: rockin slig, you mean screenshots? try some OW sites. If i as you, i would probaly make my own backgrounds.

rockin-slig 08-30-2004 04:53 AM

well loads of people have made them. you can get the same programs that games makes use now.

I use Game Maker 5.3 for making games. Currently making a 2d plaform and although has nothing to do with Oddworld I am also planning to make an Oddworld game.

www.gamemaker.nl

It's completely free and if you download the tutorials and learn as much as you can it can be really easy to use and make great games.

Software Bug 08-30-2004 06:54 PM

yes i used gamemaker for training when i started with games.
now i use it for good funny games!!:D

and if you start for the first time you should use a existing game and start chancing that
