i have an infection in my butt, a game design infection

Orik, what do you mean when you are requesting sound?

Also I have some experience in voice acting (doing production for my radio show/station) and have the equipment to record it/send it.

Orikaeshigitae

foley stuff, ambient sound, that sort of thing

Anjin-San

i can do foley and ambient recording, however multichannel sound programming is outside my sphere of knowledge

cj iwakura

I can compose some synth/keyboard stuff if that's your thing.

I made a game in LUA and I'm halfway done with another. I like LUA a bit, its good for arcade games.

One day when I have more time I want to get into doing games with C and OpenGL

Arkham Asylum is an action brawler set in an asylum and the surrounding grounds. With Batman.

It's like comparing apples and spent uranium fuel rods.

Have you looked at websites that have provide access to free stuff? My productions at school tend to use a lot of stuff from www.freeplaymusic.com for instance.

Yeah sound effects and ambient stuff is pretty easy to come by through the wonders of the internet. It gets a little hard at some points but all in all you can find pretty much anything you would need.

Orik, I can fart well and I have a hairy back. If by any chance these attributes will help your cause, I'm your man.

Anjin-San

we have nothing but recording space, as well as plenty of old tools, and rickity old machines that can be improvised to provide spooky sound i assume you'd like in something set in a prison

I'm good at: Starting fires, hiding evidence, critical thinking, and mild account. Let me know if you need me.

So what I'm actually doing right now is setting up a Perforce server for source control, and I was and soon will be again working on a rotating 3rd person camera in the UDK.

Kochikens

omg did you just say perforce



perforce <3

Fishman

I am giving serious thought to getting off my arse and looking at this UDK thing once I get my new computer in a couple months. Something seems to have recently jogged me out of my contemplative indifference and given me reason to reconsider my creative development skills.

I really have Joel from Hothead to thank for introducing me to it. It's really the best system I've ever used for source control.

You should find whoever is responsible for that and kill them so they stop taking your mind off of your X-COM LP.

It has it's issues, but setting up and working in differences branches and checking shit in and out is so fucking easy.

Why is perforce better than git?

Orikaeshigitae

i set up subversion and trac on my domain, i just need to start generating content

Jasconius

i refuse to touch subversion because I've seen the horrors it can produce

45 minute checkouts

3 hour branch merges

never again

Orikaeshigitae

i don't really know the difference, i'm just flailing around and trying to get some experience

Because I've used perforce and like it.

Videogame ideas!

Portal, except the orientation of your exit portal affects the direction of gravity. The goal is to fling yourself towards targets in a fluid manner; you must prepare the next target by creating an entrance portal on your current target and finding a suitable exit surface in-flight. It's like the cannon minigame in Pilotwings, except twitchy and spatial.

Wait, are you saying this game isn't even going to feature Batman? Why bother

Really though, I am just joshing around

A detective game in a prison sounds cool and intriguing, possibly creepy

If you need a medical consultant, I'd be happy to help.

Reach is pretty fun

But seriously what's the art style? I may be able to help with modeling.

it's gonna be stark and relatively realistic, although the colour palette is going to be more mirror's edge than call of duty

I *felt* like I was using clearcase. 4 years worth of revisions on three major J2EE application complete with web fronts including the graphic assets.

and I'm pretty sure there were some huge ass zip files in there good measure

Let me run this by you

Genre swapping.

You're the newest challenger in the underground world of Tokyo drifting. Tonight's race has gone to shit, and you're forced to jump a drainage canal, but you're outta nitrous and you might not make it. You hit the right bumper, and bam, suddenly you're an old west cowboy chasing down a stagecoach. The canal's now a dry gulley, and you ride your horse down into it. A mile later, you ride out and hit the left bumper, and you've cut ahead of the race. Or maybe you hit the right bumper instead, and you've navigated your space fighter out of the asteroid belt.

But let's say you went back to Tokyo. The other racers are pretty pissed off after the race, and mob you back at the winner's circle. There's a dozen of them, but you switch over to the Michael Bay Action scene, where you can take on dozens of mooks with ease. Unfortunately, one of the rules of this world is that the bad guy captures the girl. Maybe if you had taken on group back in Tokyo Drifter land, she would have been safe. Or, maybe if you had just jumped the canal in the first place, they wouldn't have attacked you.
