Sort of like GDT but with CONSOLES!?!

EDIT 2
Hello guys,

I’ve recently put CDS on a Hiatus. If you would like to find out, read on. Anyways, I would like to announce herein that we have an official steam account. The account link and website will be put at the end of this thread. So far, our main programmer, who I wont be disclosing the name of has decided to leave us, and we cannot continue without him. Console Dev Simulator is still in development, and is not “abandoned” or “uninspired work”. It is still a big project. I know not much of you will even care, but I’d just like to announce the fact.

Steam Account: http://steamcommunity.com/id/R4_Game_Studios_LTD

(The name R4 Game Studios LTD. is not copyrighted, and if anyone holds said name, we do not claim it.)
Employee Information:
Maysin R. Valrwynd -
Main Artist
Derek L. Johnson -
Brother, good friend, Artist
Jakob L. Johnson -
Main developer, me
Varin H. Valhalla -
New main programmer.

Sincerely, J.J, Maysin and Varin.

EDIT

Hey guys;

Our main programmer has quit the progress. Our team now only consists of 2 artists, me, and one mildly-ok programmer. I’m putting this project on hiatus. Don’t expect it any time soon.

Sincerely, J.J.

@JacobJakob Sounds like a great Idea! I would be happy to help with GFX!

#3

Jacob, you dont have the experience to create a game yet.

No-one wants to help a noob who knows nothing about what he’s doing.

Learn http://godotengine.org and then you can try.

…What?

What did you just say?

#5

Umm… I want…

Yeah. He made me reconsider this whole thing…

#8

I can’t help, but it looks like a really cool idea! Don’t reconsider it :cry:

#9

I know, but I don’t want a bad game due to my inexperience. I don’t want you to waste your money or hard drive space on a low quality game…

THANKS A LOT @Stian

#10

But I like wasting money!

#11

lol I love how everyone hates me for saying that you cant create a game without experience.

@JacobJakob, you definitely cant charge money for it. Just think, Bill Gates wouldn’t be able to develop Windows if he didn’t know any programming to hire more people eventually. It was not meant in a mean way, just advice. I doubt you even have clear ideas as to how you will create this game either. (Premade engine, programming language etc.) Figure those out, make plans and learn! :smiley:

EDIT: I do know that people hate me more than others, and thats why they like to point out every single bit I write which might sound inappropriate. I’m fully aware.

#12

I know that there are plenty of people that would gladly help someone get off their feet, especially on the GHG forums

@Stian
I think maybe you should realize that I infact do have past experience creating games, I just never sold them. I have a couple that I have saved on my old crappy windows XP laptop and with those small crumbles of experience I could start from there.

@mrdewdew
Thanks.

"Project: Fun!"
I would do any testing/idea giving help for you.

Don’t poke him. He isn’t annoying unless provoked, then he can start flamewar… sorry @Stian if you feel offended.
