for a long time I and allot of my friends and people I have come across would love to be able to design games for online gaming websites alongside other famous game designers like loussi joeybetiz conartists herointeractive and krin. but they don't know the correct path to take in order to be able to actually create a game of their own and neither do i.
so i propose that armorgames.com be the first ever online gaming website to have a special advice page and guidance downloads for young and old people wanting to start creating games these videos and tips would include:
-videos explaining the paths different game designers took. -some interveiws with game designing companys and designers to help show how they got to where they are -downloadable content like animation software, anti-hack scripts and artwork programs -a step by step guide of how to get your game hosted on armorgames. -an online guide on how to create a simple animated game -an online guide on how to create an advanced animated game -an online guide on how to create a multiplayer game -and a boost in armor point to the game makers account when he downloads and uses the software.
i know theres a lot to do and to make this idea work it will take ages, but i seriously beleive this will revolutionise the world of online gaming, and give alot of people the chance of a small career or job that the really want to do.
ps: if you do decide to follow my idea through i would like some kind of thanks for helping you improve your website not much but i would love to be an armorgames moderator.
Actually, not to be a AG traitor or anything but AG will nit be the first to offer a section for how to start making games. Kongregate has a section like that. [url]http://www.kongregate.com/labs[/url]
Other than that, the Programming forum has links to various sites for programmers, both budding and skilled, as well as onlookers that would help you out. I don't think our forum is as in-depth as Kongregates, but I'm positive our community is more active and less...spammy :P
Meh. I'm not sure about this, since the software that AG game makers use for making games is pretty expensive and it's copyrighted (of course), and they can't give it to everyone. Also, the web is filled with flash/actionscript tutorials. The thing I was thinking to is a sort of game maker made with flash. I'm sure it's not hard to make, you just have to enable some parts of code if the user select some things. Like, if the user wants gravity, he select the gravity field and the game would activate the piece of code that control gravity, and then he can adjust the variables to get the effect he want, and share the mini-games with the AGI system. I think that would be pretty cool, especially if AG post it on kong, newgrounds and such and then say "did you make an awesome game? Go to armorgames.com to share it with the world!" that would be a great advertising for AG.
i dont mean first for advice i mean to be able to download anti hack software and animation programs that help it work like windows movie maker for cutscenes and windows animator stuff like that and so far thank you for all of your comments if any require an answer i will try and reply to you on your profile page thanks for all the feedback
