Thinking of making a Platformer - General Topics

Like the title says i am thinking of making one, i want to use unity 3d's now free mobile engine. was thinking of making a sorta like Oscura or Limbo. i would like the first game we do to be free but possibly we can make more games if people are happy with this game. to be able to put on the play store it costs 25$, i dont know if we all have to but we will figure it out please pm or post reply if you would like to join in

There might be better places to appeal for support, it would also be wise to find likeminded people first, who have an interest and some knowledge who can help you. As for unity, as its free, you would be better off making the majority of the game first before you ask for the cash investment.

HELP WANTED!!!! Devs, coders, grapic artist and all!

Hello, I'm posting this tread because I have searched every inch of the market/internet for a good First person-Role playing game in real time. I know about "Deadly dungeons", don't get me wrong it's a great game but its not in real time and not free roaming.
So, see that it might take awhile for someone to make said game, I've decided to make one myself. Only one problem. I don't know any code, and I suck at graphics. I'll be doing plots, quest, main quest, and music. So I'm looking for a team who would like to help me put this together. It will be a paid for app will a free trial so in the end, if it is any good there will be money. No guarantees thought. But seeing as it will be the first of it's kind, there is a good chance.
Imagine a game like "The Elder Scrolls" or like the iOS game "Necromancer's Rising". That is what I'm looking for. So if your interested in seeing this come to life, PM me and I'll give you my email ASAP.
Please, I know many people are waiting for such a game, and there is money in it IF it is completed and turns out well, but that all depends on how hard your willing to work. Think of how many "These guys just made my day for making this game" there will be. I personally am a HUGE Elder Scrolls fan, I mean I got every game. From Arena to Skyrim. That is what starting my love for, as I call them FPRTRPG games.
Hope to be hearing from you guys!
-Andrew
P.S If you are not interested, or not a developer or what now, please spreed the word, if you know someone who might want to help, tell them about this.
If you don't know any code and wouldn't be doing the graphics what exactly would your contribution be?
Yeah what you be contributing besides an idea? And if you can contribute and would like to make a team with some people, im starting to learn coding and would love to help out if i can. Pm me if interested

This would be awesome. I'd love a good first person RPG. I have not found a single RPG on Android I like. I like turn based but they are all the same now. I prefer real time RPGs. A game called Earth and Legacy is very close to what I want to play, but lacks a storyline. I can program but I am not familiar with building a gaming engine.

good point :/
Normally you would be right. But i thing this one's a bit different. Why? The author said it's a role playing game in 3D. Yep it's quite hard coding but don't forget about a plot... it would be freakin hard to think up entire world, characters, etc., etc... so his effort could be great, only if he has some ideas of course
If anything I could try to think of worlds names and the story plot , if it's needed. I've played MMORPG's all my life and know what's a good story plot and etc would be like
Guys, you did notice the op only has 2 post and only joined a few weeks ago. He hasn't posted here yet. I think we might have a troll

I will be the plotters and "world make for lake of better word. I'll be thinking up characters, quests, and that stuff. If you guys have any ideas ill be open To recive them
I want this to be a team effort. I will be also working with music.

game does look like I could spend a little time on it but I am going to down load for my kid!
Thanks for the free game!

Anyway, we'll try to do our best when we release new version of the game.
Who said that old Nintendo graphics is bad?
What I'm interesting more is feedback on the gameplay, graphics can be improved easily but if the idea and gameplay is not good enough, then it is really not good.
Trolls playing Mods and getting it all wrong. Funny. Game looks alright to me. Its free. Get over it.

Report me or ban me, I don't care but Mazda needs to have a little bit more respect for people.

I saw gameplay on youtube and game looks really great and addictive, will play it later but when I download it you will probably get 5 stars. Cheers!
Well.. i can't play it, i'm using a Optimus One so i'm blaming arm6
Anyway, game looks cool, but i would advice you to put some more info in the first post... game description, captures, or just some more general info
Thank you for the game. I love this "old Nintendo style" gfx though, I still use my Amiga computer to play games, too maybe that's why Wonder why you give it away for free.

I would love to post more info, including video and link to the game homepage, but unfortunately I have status "Junior Member", and all what I can post so far is text (I'm member of XDA since 2006, but I was more reader and ROM downloader before ). Some more activity in this topic and I will be able to enrich my first post
Finally I'm able to post links, first post updated with actual information (links in Google Play and YouTube).
Information about the game is now also in XDA blog. :good: Thank you, POORCOLLEGEGUY

I'm giving it away for free because the market is very tough nowadays, nobody will buy your game if you do not have already your own brand or/and huge amount of money for marketing. If Rovio releases new game they can sell quite well even if the game is quite usual because everybody knows them as "Angry birds" developers. If "no name" developer like me and my team is releasing even brilliant game, nobody will even notice it in 1.000.000 apps market. That's the truth of life.

[Game] Pix'n Love Rush - Xperia Play Optimized

I believe there is no thread about this game.
I saw this game on the google play for the first time for a long time. I didn't buy it because the description doesn't say that the game is xperia play optimized.
But... I wanted a new game... And I like this kind of game.. So, i decided to give it a try...
My surprise is that the game is xperia optimized. The menus aren't, but in play the game is... And i think that is where it should be.
Enjoy.

Awesome! Will be added to the XperiaPlayGamer database pronto!
Thanks for posting. I love it when someone posts Gems like these cause I love me some old skool platforming

How could I possibly be any clearer? let me try again...
I, the potential customer, refuse to pay for a game with adverts in it.
Read the reviews and you will see that this is the main reason for its mediocre rating.

LordBattleBeard ,
Maybe I'm getting blind, but the only ads that I see in the game are in the startup menu and it's just for other games made by the same company....
For me, this kind of ads can be seen as information.. It's the company saying "Hi, i have made this games also... Just take a look"
I don't see any pop ups in game... or in any other menu...
To make it clear here goes a shot of the only ads that appear.

Yes but with no option to say "I've saw it now, so let me play the game without seeing this crap everytime I start it up".
If it was a free game, it'd be fine, but seeing as you pay for this, it should at the very least have the option to "not show again".
I wish they included the actual platformer from xbla indie games was released as it was better than this high score game

Omg, this would be definitely the game I've been looking for since I purchased my first android! I am just a huge fan of final fantasy and blitzball was just amazingly addictive. I wish I had knowledge in programming for android to help you, but it's not the case...but you have my full moral support! And if the project were to be realized, be sure that you would have my donation!

This is an amazing idea, although this thread seems old and dead. However, I'd like to revive this project . Does anyone know about possible copyrights and trademarks surrounding Blitzball?
