RE: I'm Creating a Game App. Help!
If you already have good idea of gameplay and all this stuff, i can probably help a bit with the coding, i know java and android sdk, not so familliar with iOs though.
it's possible to do things using javascript that works on all platform through the web browser even if it's not necessarily the best for real time peformance, depends on the type of game.
Are you familiar with tell tale games?
Is it like adventure / point & click games ?
No, its an animated interactive storyteller. Kinda like a Choose Your Own Adventure type video game. You get to make decisions and the game takes a different path
Ok yes, i see this with path selection based on game states, and conditional selection of current state of the game based on past actions that change those game states.
Normally its the sort of things not too hard to do with a script language.
Do you aim for real time 3d anim, or precomputed 3d anim, or 2d vector anim, 2d precomputed / drawn , video ?
If it doesn't involve too much real time computation, i guess the best for compatibility is using javascript for ui + server side script to keep track of game state / choice, and delevering the scene data.
Javascript can work in all browser on all devices, and it can do 3d anim, video, audio and simple scripting.
Oh, yea, see- all of that is Greek to me ;) lol!
I am just the writer and creator. If I were to have the game I want it would look like a Tell Tale game. That's where a dev would come in- for the coding and animation graphics
You already have material for graphics ? If yes in which format ?
Creating graphics and dev is different thing :)
I guess the principle is kinda like the psycho pass game ?
Most of them use 3d graphics now, can take quite some time to design and render.
Can do things more like cartoon with 2d vector, its probably easier.
But most likely you need both graphician & developper, its rare to find people who can do both.
Making good 3d graphics in less than a month starting from scratch with zero budget seem hard .
Even with good computers, for precomputed anims, need to count several hours of rendering / sec of anim, plus several days to make the scene.
With 2d / cartoon like can be easier, but if you want good graphics you need more graphician than dev, and then get a dev when you already have the graphics well advanced.
If you already have material for the graphics can be easier though, and quicker for graphicians.
No, I am just the writer. I wrote the plot, narration, scene, etc.
Maybe you can get in soft like cinema 4d , poser or sketchup or such to make draft of the scening graphics and animation.
But making good quality 3d anim take lot of time anyway.
