LDD Sermon 6: Going Viral

[Cain]

I have come up with a new song title thanks to the eXile: you can't rhyme 'liberty' with 'RPG'.

[Messier Undertree]

Nothing online, no.

I'm into 3D animation and stuff (XSI, 3Dsmax etc.)

I can do something in Flash too, I suppose...

Any requests?

Yeah, I'm working on some songs.  I'll PM you a link, pick which ones you want to do a video to.

I'll help out with that if you want...

[Triple Zero]

i have to warn people who want to create a computergame. to make anything better than "a funny flash game people pass to their friends", you need at least half a year's work and a team of at least 5 people. that is, if you're completely passionate about it and willing to spend most of your free time on it. otherwise you need more.

i've seen too many computer-game projects here at CS get off a flying start, then dissolve into oblivion, because people underestimate what a huge project any semi-serious modern-day computer game is.

the old old computer games might be made by one or two people, in relatively little spare time. but they are really of the complexity of the "funny flash games" we have these days, millions of them.

Go to http://earfatigue.multiply.com and poke around.  I suggest looking for a track called "The Revolution".  See what you can do.

If you hear anything else you like, let me know.

CS = Computer Science (lol there's actually a bash.org quote about this confusion, which i had to think of while using the abbreviation .. )

well, it helps you at least can rip a good engine off an existing game. (the computer graphics used to be my forte in such endeavours)
