    Lightbulb Just an idea (game dev)

    In our days development of games can be done with a team spread all over the world!
    So this got me thinking. Why not try and produce a game together, using the best skill from as many people as possible.

    What do you think?
    Cool site for VB gaming dev :-

    You can't even give it away can you?

    Plend,

    No-one wants Craft. It's pants!

    Onyx,

    There are currently two major games being written at the moment on the forums.

    1) Sentience (Which I am spearheading)
    2) Time Of War (Which Sastraxi is driving)

    For further info on these see the Comms Forum on this site.

    There's also Plends game 'Craft' which is going nowhere as he no longer has time to work on it. It's not all that bad though....

    There are three main differences between our two strategy games:

    1. Sentience is set in the future, while ToW is set in a fantasy realm near the middle ages.
    2. ToW is a real-time strategy (like Warcraft), and Sentience is a turn-based strategy (like Heroes).
    3. Sentience is 2D, ToW is 3D.
    All contents of the above post that aren't somebody elses are mine, not the property of some media corporation.
    (Just a heads-up)

    Yep, that just about summarises it in a nutshell.

    Anyway, there'd be little point in them both being the same would there?
