So what most of you are saying is, if we ourselves dont know code, we shouldnt make a game? You think everyone in a game company knows game design? No, there are the writers, the concept artists, etc.

You should start making little games and work your way up and learn you way around things, that's what we were saying, Druex having little to no experience is being too ambitious and taking and promising too much for one of his first projects. He is the founder of this, and yet he has nothing to show as of yet, sure it takes a entire team for a project this big but if he can actually recruit a team over a idea with nothing to show for it, well that's another story.

If you yourselves are your entire team and you yourselves don't know code, then yes, you can't make a game. A game requires a few things - sprites or models and textures to manipulate and code to manipulate them with. I can code, and although I can't do it well I can draw a stick figure in MS paint and that's my sprite. If you have 1337 spriting or modeling skills, great, but you can't make a game with a bunch of models. You need code. There's engine that will do some or most of that work for you, but somewhere along the way, you're going to want a feature that nobody has a preset importable template for and you're going to be up against a wall. Then you're going to have to learn how to code, like datguyyouknowsays, by working yourself up through smaller projects over the course of time. And by the time you're done, you might even have forgotten what you were going to do in your project or lost interest or come up with a new, better idea for a project.

Not everyone in a game company knows how to program, but at least one person does. I think you're missing that person. Otherwise, let us know and give us some hard evidence of progress. Drawing may be a skill I don't have, but in the end its simply dreaming. It's not really progress, its solidifying your ideas on paper so you don't forget them or can convey them to other people.

Thats what we are trying to find. I really dont want to give up on this.

You can't do anything without a solid plan describing what steps you have to take to reach your goal. And those steps must be feasible with the manpower you have. If you don't, you either have to call it quits, try again next time when you have more abilities or try finding someone that has those abilities you lack and get that person to help you. But for that last one you have to prove what you are trying to achieve is worth spending countless men hours for. If a story and some concepts is all you have, it might aswell have been a fanfic.

Project: Drop's Website
Hey guys, long time, no type on this Forum. Just a quick update, Project: Drop is in need of a development team of sorts. Not to mention, we have been working hard on the scripts and other contents in the planning phases so far. Above is a link to our web site about the current status of Project: Drop. We aren't releasing all the details, and I am sorry if the site seems a bit off balance. It was made using Wix on a Mac and I have noticed some alterations when comparing between two computers that may annoy the OCD crowd.

Anyway, we hope you enjoy the site. You can even email me in the contacts page if you want to discuss something in private. I won't reveal EVERYTHING to you, but perhaps I could shed some more light on the subject.

BTW: The Images found on our site are so far NOT offical contents. I have pulled images in order to make the website more attractive and give you a sort of idea on what the game would look like...except in higher resolutions. So please, DONT go nuts and rant about how this is "copying and pasting" the works of others. I have to let you know that I have taken web design and I figured that having images would allow the site to be more attractive.

Just sayin, those pictures ARE misleading.

Disclaimer should be easily viewable. Also I see you pretty much copied our background

So ummm... when's the actual programming, modelling, etc happening...?

Will you have your own forums, or will you stat on the off topic section of Contingency's?

I don't see any reason for anyone to have a problem with this tbh.

I hope they use UE4 or Unity

UE4 would be nice.

I'd choose UE4 for blueprints though.

You still need to know how to model though.

Or any technical aspect of creating a game...

Yup

Not to bludgeon your plans or anything but I don't think anyone will watch a demo in Halo CE and say, "Wow, they sure are cut out to design a whole new game from more or less scratch". That shows your team's ability to use Halo CE's development kit and their knowledge of the blam! engine, not their ability to use unity or UE4 or code or model or any of the other stuff it won't showcase.

Dunno why my luck works like this

Not luck, just people not wanting to commit there time to the project in the naming.

Seems like a good idea Hope you can get somthing down I know games take a long time but I'm impatient with this game and now I'm hooked on your's
