Good Ol' Platypus
Just on the topic of RTS's, does anybody think that the goals that you have when making an RTS are realistic? I mean, there are a lot of different things to take into account. I'll give you the percentage of what I have done on MY RTS (Times of War):
FROM BEST TO WORST:
80% - Programming
20% - Graphical Programming
00% - Unit Graphics
00% - Sounds
00% - Music
00% - Artificial Intelligence
00% - Netplay
13% - Overall
As you can see, I suck in making strategy games. Overall, I'm only 13%! So, can anybody list good sites for....
Making Graphics (although I already am working on this one)
Making Sounds
Coding a Netplay Service
Midi-Making Freeware or Trial (I'll just keep downloading the trial...)
Thanks in Advance!!

Hmmm, how far have you come with your project?
Use  
writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
writing haskell makes your life easier:
reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

Not very far... I think I'm only about 20% with the programming after all.... Oh well.
But, if you are interested in it, see my other thread, right here:

Hmm, actually i'm not insterested in joining but fusion, possibly.
I'm not sure how many percent my project is ready but probably not more than 5%. Although i have 1736 lines of code and 32MB in the project folder.
I just lack in good personnel for my project, and you seem to know D3D at least better than me.

Hey, kedaman!
What's your game like? All of the specs are on my Strategy Game Dev. Topic, plus that it's medieval themed. What's your game like/going to be? Anyway, I only know how to draw triangles in D3D, it's not that I'm good or anything...
Is what you meant by fusion merging the projects together? Please reply!

For Music/MIDI creation, use Direct Music or NoteWorthy Composer.

That's exactly what i meant, hmmm Medival, well i really don't like medival, there's not much artists here that does medival. I'm doing distant future/space
You could have a look at my original thread at

Well if youre too far into your project i'm almost sure you don't want to leave it, but i could guarantee you a future in my project.
Currently i have a well working isometrical 3dTerrained engine using DirectDraw, Customizable units, ballistical projectiles and much more. But in front of me i see hundreds and hundreds of days, and probably another hundred in learning all the d3d stuff i need to the second part of my game.

Just if you want to know, almost all projects started in these forums has failed to accomplish, and i really don't want mine to be one of them. I have the programming skill, but there's just too much work for a single programmer, to make a worthy game.

Well, I hope you're game is very successful!

So well you don't want any fusion right?
I guess we could help each other anyway, RTS may be quite identical in structure

I'm not saying THAT, I mean, we could use the better parts of each game. Hey! Here's an idea: We could write a DDRAW engine together and use it for both of our strategy games! What do you think?

sorry i'll hear from you tomorrow, need to get sleep
