We should seriously...

They've made some great games. Tribal Trouble and Marble Blast are awesome.

[GMG Tim]

Retrofusion Games?

Ghost

[WarHampster]

btw you should go register a forum, use proboards.com or conforums.com there both free and i can code them and make them look pretty.

I don't think that there's any point in starting a forum yet... we can use this one until we start some projects.

We should have a vote for which name to use...

Eclipse Studio (or games) sounds awesome.

[WarHampster]

Alright, so far the entries are:

Basement games, uplift games, post apocalyptic productions (or games, whatever), eclipse games, and retrofustion games.

[Swamp7hing]

Basement sounds too amateur - we could be better then that.

Uplift sounds like a software company, not bad.

Post Apocalyptic, well, that sounds like a game title. Not a company to me.

Eclipse (or Elipse) are my favorite. I can picture some logos too.

Retrofusion sounds like a retro-focused company. Not completely us.

[Gan]

Eclipse (Elipse) sounds good to me.


-Gandolf

[WarHampster]

Alright, Eclipse it is.

[Gnome]

Yea thats my fav too. We should start making our first app. now.

[Gan]

Haha, a bit over exuburent are we?

Maybe we should get the website down first? One baby step at a time.
Or maybe...
In the Famous words of Dr.Stark, "Sometimes you have to run before you can walk". Though he did total his car that way...

Doesn't matter which one we choose. Lets just hope it doesn't make it all go up in flames. Sometimes going too slow can turn people off and going too fast makes people over loaded.

Heres what we should do:

1. Decide everyone's positions (programmers, artists, ect.)

2. decide what type of game to make

3. finish the website

4. make a forum

5. start the project

EDIT - also, we should get a sense of what experience everyone has... like I don't even have game maker, and I bet some of you game maker people have never used silver creator.  

[Swamp7hing]

Good idea- maybe put our real names out there, a little bio page for each of the people in the company, that would be cool.

Like First Name "Alias" Last Name/Initial.

[WarHampster]

Yeah, we can do something like:

Name-

Location-

Position-

Skills-

Interests-

[Gnome]

Since we are spilt between SC and GM, maybe we should use Xcode or TNTbasic?

[WarHampster]

I kind of hate TNT... raise your hand if you have any xcode game programming experience.

I'm decent at C, but I've never programmed a game before.

EDIT: nah, I think that for our first project at least we should use gm or sc... simply because we all have experience using one of them (and apparently the syntax is not very different)... there are so many engines/ demos made with them that are floating around, begging to be used in a game.
