Hey Everybody. This doesn't have much to do with Phones at present but I and some friends of mine just participated in this years NodeKnockout. We didn't get all the features we wanted to put in but it's still a pretty fun game regardless.
If you all could check it out here: http://nodeknockout.com/teams/makeshift.
Make sure to vote for us if you feel we deserve it (upper-right corner). I think we all agreed that it was worth continuing development on it, and getting that win would be just the boost to push us forward. Again, the focus was to make a fun game, and I feel we did that, so just go have fun.
THANKS GUYS!!! We had fun and I hope you do, too.
P.S.
Couple of limitations: Only supports four people in a game, and make sure everyone has joined before starting the game (and hope noone joins mid-game). We got backed into a wall with the deadline before being able to implement those limitations, and there were more pressing issues to iron out.

Game developer Camoflaj, led by Metal Gear Solid 4 producer and Halo 4 creative director Ryan Payton, are making an awesome new game for mobile, and they are using Kickstarter to fund it. Take a look (check out the video!):
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/486250632/republique-by-camouflaj-logan
It looks to be the first truly promising "real game" for mobile.
Sadly, the game is currently announced for iOS only, but I backed it anyway. I noticed many backers in the comments asking for an Android version, so I emailed Ryan asking about it. Here's what he had to say:
"Thanks for the AWESOME email. I totally hear you regarding Android.
We definitely want the game on Android, it's just a matter of funding and resources for us. If funding goes well, it'll be a natural step for us to do an Android version. I sincerely want you to be able to play this game.
Thanks for writing in, my friend.
-rp"
So, if Android fans back this game and indicate that they want an Android version on day 1 in the project's comment section on Kickstarter, we will guarantee that this extremely promising game comes to Android.
This will also send a strong message that Android users are serious about games and are willing to pay good money for great games.

No offence m8 ...... i can tell that your all puppy pissing it's self excited about this revolutionary game.
But your talking garbage when you claim
"we will guarantee that this extremely promising game comes to Android."
The quote you posted from the developers DOES NOT say anything of the sort, all it makes is an extremely vague 'Aspiration' to bring the game to Android ........ to anyone with any real experience of corporate doublespeak all it actually says is 'if, maybe, could, we would like to'. Their concept blurb says NOTHING about Android at all
Also your title is completely misleading ....... the entire concept needs funding (which it won't get) just to bootstrap the iOS version, never mind Android. Pledging money at this stage gives not even the vaguest suggestion of supporting development of an Android version
I'd also like to point out that devs with a track record like these guys have really shouldn't need to use distributed participatory funding sources as they should be able to go direct to big games publishers and get all the funding they needed ....... if the idea is any good. Only reason i can logically put forth for using this type of fan based funding is to avoid being under the thumb of a publisher .. but these guys have enough industry weight to negotiate a hands off development funding deal anyway ...........
Further i can understand gamers getting all 'am involved in the dev industry' excited about this type of proposal, kids get excited about all kinds of crap. But the minimum bonus pledge is about twice the cost of a top price Mobile game, am not even going to comment on how much it costs to get awarded a hoody or a signed piece of junk from the devs.
What i would like to know (but really can't be arsed to research, as i really don't care enough) is what happens to the pledges when this proposal fails to achieve its minimum funding requirement .........
I'll state right here right now no way will they make $500,000 ...... if they do i will add a banner to my sig that says something like "République developers kicked my ass please support this project it is of galactic significance" for 6 months or something.
Being positive it does sound like an interesting game concept, somewhat like a hifi next gen version of the old early 3D Amiga game interphase, and i definitely like the "non-sexualized female lead" concept, can't help the sneaking suspicion that "non-sexualized female lead" is pretty naive though game kiddies love tits and ass ... fact.
If you want to support developers then choose to support genuine up and coming indies who genuinely need the support as they do not have a track record that can delivery serious industry funding.
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.

Hey, hire me! I am a graphics designer

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.

Hi XDA community,
Here I introduce my second game for the Android os. I have very little experience in graphics and such (I'm not artistic at all). However, this is a game that I have done using what I know so, the graphics will probably be a bit bad but the whole experience should hopefully be fun . It still only has 15 levels. If the game gains a lot of positive feedback, I'll plan to release more levels but for now, some testing on the difficulty of the first levels is needed. Thus, if you have time to try a new game and give some feedback on it, I'll be really thankful .
Game Description:
Goldy just ran away from its house in an attempt to find his wife, who has been taken to another continent. Help goldy reach his wife by swimming across the river and escaping all the other fish.
Please post your feedback either here or in the game description in the play store.
at least put your Play Store link
hahaha, I was wondering about what I forgot.... the links!!
here they are:

That sounds amazing. I'll probably contact you for my next project. If you know anyone who can make sound effects and music that would be helpful as well :highfive: I can only program

I won't probably upgrade the game until I finish with another project. I do make these games just for free since I learn a lot by doing it besides it is really fun coming up with a lot of ideas for games. Maybe we can collect a team for the next few projects :highfive:.
Hello all. My name is Joseph Truax. Check me out on LinkedIn. I'm the one with the suit. I'm fairly well connected to most of the big dogs on the planet, but I want to use indie talent to do a redevelop.
My game, Part 3: Dodge the Dots has well over 10k downloads total on Android and iTunes, but I had zero marketing in place prior to launch.
I have just received a multi million dollar marketing package that needs to be fully taken of. If you have not heard of the Ziosk, Google it. I get to put my game in front of 600k users daily, and there are only 20 games to play at a time. In more than 200 Chili's and Red Robins across the US. A very difficult platform to get involved with.
I'm trying to get Dodge rebuilt in Corona. All we have to do is recreate the current game, but change or update 3 critical elements, and we win.
Any interested party please respond. It's a real opportunity with minimal work. Just follow the current build and add a couple updates. A cake walk for you experts.
I hope to get some responses, and will pay the middle-men for the hook-up of a fantastic developer. All revenue will be split evenly by all parties involved.
So, here is the question: Want to help?
Thank you for your time and lets make money.
Also, to the moderators, I went to DevS and there was nothing there, so I hope this is the right place to post.
Best regards,
-Joe
hmm...
Is there a better way to come at this? I speak on these forums like I would speak to a person's face. I'm not trying to be a salesman, I'm just trying to make some legitimate money. So, any tips for me on here to get involved with the collective would be highly appreciated.
Thanks guys and gals.
Best,

Hi guys. I'm new here. I'm young developer from Poland. I have 17 years and my passion is playing guitar and making games. Joe The Runner is my first android game. Just run, jump and slide. I don't know if it don't have bugs because i dont have enought phones to test it ;/. If you will find any bugs please dont rate 1/5 . Give some info about error in this thread and you can be sure i will fix it. In game there is no annoying ads. The only ad is show when you press button: "FREE COINS FOR ADS" . You can buy 2 more champions in game with this coins but you can't buy coin with real money. You must run 400m = 1 coin or fastest way added in this update(1.16) watch ad and get 4 coins. I know that this app isn't some super ultra giga awesome app but It's my first app and i hope you like it. Like my friends said: "It's good when you taking a s**t "

Good job on your first game. If I come across any bugs I will let you know.
Hello
Hi
I am new to the whole programming and android thing, so I thought I would look at some games that other developers have made. Before sharing my game since I'm quite shy . So putting aside as to how terrible I am at your game (played it for 30 mins never made it past 250m.. -_-'), I did spot some bugs, for one when you do watch the 15 sec video, you don't actually get the 4 coins straight away, you have to click something in order for the counter to be updated. Another bug is that when you are running the amount of meters run is a bit to the right that it gets clipped off the screen. Not a bug, more of a critique but I wish that the controls were more responsive, I feel like when I jump there is a delay. But I also have a question, what is the point of have a link to your game page on your screen?
Thanks for good words and bugs. I check this and on my xperia e I dont have any delay but on faster Landvo l500s i have. It must be something with fps. I will check it tomorrow because today im really tired ;/ With this 4 gold i notice this and fix it already but i want to fix all bugs before i will update this on google play. And... what link? I Don't be shy. We cant be shy in game development if we want some people to play our games. I'm new on this forum but what i can see now this community is awesome and I should come here earlier. Again thanks guys for your good words and support it's really nice to see people playing game you made
1DEA If you have game and you too shy to post it here you can add testers in google play dev console. I can help you test your game if you want
Good job and i say You made a nice game ^^
Bigggg thanks!!!
