amazingly enough, im trying to make a game too. its not like i have money or support or anything definite at all, i was just trying to come up with a strong storyline and set of abilities for each character class (in my mind it would be a tactical game as well). btw, fftactics and fire emblem rule!

It stands for Massivley Multiplayer Online, it's the title gives to games like World of Warcraft, Everquest, Tabula Rasa, Final Fantasy XI, Warhammer Online, etc. You go online and can roam around giant worlds teaming up with people you find along the way and complete missions, quests, and other dirty deeds. Currently World of Warcraft, or WoW for short, is the king of them all with a little over 9 million subscribers. World of Warcraft has a larger population than some countries lol.

Yes, yes it is. I got sucked into WoW for 2 years, it rightly deserves its' nickname Warcrack because that sh!t it friggin addicting. It's bad when you pretty much break up with on eof your g-friends over this game. Luckily i dropped that game and now i actually interact with people again! Yay lol

Sounds cool.

We're actually trying to program and animate (he programs, I animate) a demo of our game to beef up our resumes.

nice, is that process hard/expensive?

Expensive no.  Hard yes.  We're basically looking at coding a game from the ground up.  I meanwhile, need to install skeletons into existing models (that I've shamelessly stolen from other games), tweak the gravity so I don't get wierd bends or twisting vertexes, and then attempt to make smooth animations for every single motion they could do in game.

I might be getting benched though, as he thinks it might be better not to worry about graphics yet and focus on a system that basically would just be a bunch of 3D shapes going at it.

If that's the case, I might try to go back to making a Smash Brothers Animation, if I can get a computer strong enough to rip the graphics out.

Well, the problem is that real games are designed by large teams, with advanced equiptment, being paid for it.  We're trying to squeek this out in our free time, on whatever we have (my computer is ancient) just the two of us.

Had to vote for 3rd person shooters eventhough I like most of the genres. Im a huge fan of your typical popular games like metroid, LoZ etc. But currently I strictly play online  Socom: Combined Assault, a very underrated game due to likes of Halo

yeah, Halo's overrated in my mind.

Oh, you mean like WOW!  (WoW is a disease!)

Starcraft2>WoW!!!!  Although I'm not as hyped up into it as I am into SSBB!
