Y'know, just wondering
I read somewhere that average game-making crews are like twenty people or something

So I was just wondering

If this is true, then why not make our own game?:P

Yes, I am bored, and had nothing better to do!

I tried making my own "simple" game with a programming language I know for making games. I never got very far. :(

Like I always say, if you complain about the game, make your own...

... let's make our own JK Game! :P

Yes, I'm nuts, but not serious about this

Some projects aren't *that* hard. It depends on what you want. Do you want to create a topdown classic 2D Zeldaish Jedi Academy game? Easy, trust me. An evolved 3D world with real time particle effects? Go fish. :D

I can tell ya why we can't make our own games. :D

1) Money
2) Resources
3) Anyone here with half a brain or a small piece of sanity to contribute towards such an ambitious project.

:D

I didn't say I wanted to make a game...

But you know, if it would be possible, it would be cool :D

Plenty of easy 2D gamemaking tools out there (RPG Makers, MMORPG makers) but the graphics are really low quality. If you want to make a good game, you need a 3D engine (custom made is an idea, but it's better to use Torque, customizable 3D engines suited for anything from action to RPG) and that costs you a wee bit 'o money, plus you're gonna need modellers, coders, scripters, designers, testers, graphic artists...

Game-developing ain't easy. :)

BTW: IMO the game should be in C... I don't see why we would need C++.

Well, I currently have a 2D and 3D racing game (its 3D modelled, but from a 2D 'plan' view) on hold and probably not moving anywhere for a while.

I was going to start a tennis sim as well, but that's on hold too due to lack of suitable help :P

So, umm, yeah, I think we could do something. But IMHO, it'd have to be in C++ or nothing...
