I'm going to try my hand at...

[Swamp7hing]

A quick online game.

It will be a simple 2D engine, like a platform. There will be 4 players and 1 map to play on (to start). There will only be one mode, deathmatch, again - to start. Lets see if I can get a working demo out tonight. XD

[WarHampster]

Errm... that description leaves a lot to be desired.

[Gnome]

making this with...?

GM can only hold 2 people at a time.

[Swamp7hing]

Not if I use Gm Online and communicate the x and y coordinates of each player constantly.

EDIT: I'll start with 2 players, the move up.

[Silverwind]

Now that's the way to do it! I'm heading to bed now but I can't wait to see what you'll have by morning. I'll definitely give you all the help you need once I wake.

[Swamp7hing]

Good rest, bright silver! Awake with a golden heart and a positive attitude!

Hey, if you need anything or programming help, I'm always here. Sitting all alone...  collecting dust... becoming one with the mound of linty grey flakes...

Though seriously, name it, and I will make it.

Gan, I'm thinking of making this ES's first Project, and I could use some help.

We'll talk via PM's.

im for this, there should be more multiplayer games, and you dont have to make content for multiplayer, just gameplay.

[Gnome]

Maybe you can work in my battle engine?

[Swamp7hing]

Sweet EQ, I recommend you relocate your interest to this thread and sign up for the forums:

http://estudios.conforums.com/index.cgi?board=FirstProject&action=display&num=1229993865&start=0#1230050168

[EqwanoX]

how come you dont have to do anything but hang out on the forums and tell people what to do?

silver should make character sprites, cause hes good at that, or you can just use ones that hes already made

drop the sidescrollilng idea and use v6 so characters can shoot in all four directions, now go use silvers tiles to make a map, or make your own tiles, makeing maps is easy, if you dont know how check this thread

http://www.gamemakersgarage.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=looneybin;action=display;num=1227550363

we're gonna need three directional sprites of the character, front, back, and side

[Swamp7hing]

*smacks forehead* I am working EQ, maybe if you read the post you'd understand that. Thanks for reading and comprehending. The game directors job is to hang around and DIRECT.

Good idea for the sprites, though. As well, silver is not part of ES, he's got roguesoft. WH is our resident sprite artist.

Also, I don't like the tile idea. Side scrolling is unique, and hasn't been done before in GM. We're sticking with that.

[EqwanoX]

ok

And Silver, you have the most important role of all... the forum rouge, and cheer everyone up when needed. Now GO! I'd like to see occasional progress updates in this very thread as needed/requested/want to be posted. I'll do the same, and manage everyone.

If you need help, come to me. I'm like the central point for problems. Send them to me, I'll see If I can fix them, and if not, I'll fire them off to someone of the right specialty to deal with.

[Swamp7hing]

Ok

I'm designing, drawing out, and creating the levels and how the game will progress, as well as the UI (User Interface).

I'm doing enough. Do you know what a game designer is?

Again, Silver is NOT part of ES. He said so himself.
