Any gamedev beginners here?

Not currently, but planning on starting a project with my friend.

I'll do most of the graphics side he does most of the programming.

Should be fun.

Why do you ask?

a friend of mine will maybe start a project. it will be an online zombie coop fps thing with permadeath and things like that XD (this is just idees the permadeath might not be there for exemple)

I'm currently interning at an local independent game studio. I'm currently doing work on their facebook game, and then I'll be moving on to starting development on a new 4X style game.

I don't have much work I can actually show. I do have a game I made for the global game jam with a classmate of mine. It was made in 48 hours, and considering that it's actually quite good. But I know how gamers are, they will play it and then mentally compare it to like Mass Effect and tell me it sucks, as if two people working for 48 hours is supposed to compete with 300 people working for over a year. So I'm reluctant to link it.

I took a short course in game programming last fall. Not very much theory on design or anything like that, more of pure pgrogramming. We worked in C# with XNA, or rather the majority of the students did because the teacher used that for examples.
At the end I had a very simple platformer with three levels. Pretty happy with it, even though there are lots of stuff that needs to be expanded, changed or added. You can download it here if you want to have a gander at it (the latest version is Blob Noir.zip): http://code.google.com/p/sg222ex-1dv437/downloads/list

Me and a friend have just gotten into game design, and we're trying out the different ways to make a game. I guess I can share some of it here, once we have a atleast somewhat solid idea... :)

Right now, though, we're developing a website for gaming enthusiasts (Swedish only, sorry). We're both beginners in web design and game design, but they're things we find entertaining and hey, you've got to start somewhere.

Well, I do have an idea for a game but lack just a wee bit of practice to make it. Namely, I'm terribad at programming, can't draw (paint or paper, doesn't matter) and give up so soon when I meet an obstacle in creating something. Yeah, it ain't happening :P

Did a project with ren'py. It was soso.

I started to code a bomberman game in flash (before it was c++ with sdl), it wasn't a success... I didn't continue since but the project is still up

If you ever wish to go corporate with Flash Games, mochiads.com is where it's at.

I was never able to learn a coding language. I was working on different RPG Maker games over a few years. Got experience with RPG Maker 2000/2003 + XP.

Had some projects running, most of them were solo projects Ive started to learn the maker. My last project "Bloodzone" which should be able to run a very cool combat style system very unique for a RPG maker game at least, got canceled due to problems in rl and it was just to much work...

Ive learnt a lot out of my projects and the main reason for quitting the work with RPG Maker was just that the programming and the making of light effects with GIMP, Photoshop etc. took to much time for somebody who has no clue about such things. Id just needed a guy whos talented in leveldesign + drawing.

For all of those who dont know what the RPG Maker is, steam also has to offer some games made with it.

Cthulu saves the world

Breath of death VII

and I believe that this new game Lone Survivor is made with this engine aswell, looks pretty much like RPG Maker to me.

Yes. I'm still in high school(Y10), but I did all the work for this small game called Unbreakable. It's my idea and universe, and as I learn, I will make actual proper games with it.

I kinda help my pals working at a Blood Omen: Legacy of kain 3d rendition called Blood Omnicide. If you liked the original game, you should check this out.

Yeah, that's certainly the direction I'm going. I haven't taken any of my own games to completion at this point, but I have been dabbling in the game creation process for some time now. It started with simple Gamemaker games that I've long since lost to previous hard drives (they were never that good anyway, mostly just simple platformers). My last independent attempt at a game in my spare time was with Flash. I haven't got very far with it, mostly just the basic movement mechanics (a platformer again, I seem to go for them quite a lot for some reason), though it was mostly just an experiment into getting something working in Flash rather than a serious attempt at a game.

Now I'm half way through my computer science degree which has given me a deeper insight into the programming and other elements that are important for game creation. While most of my course hasn't been strictly related to games, my final year project will be (I decided to go for developing AI in a first person shooter, which should prove interesting), so hopefully it will give me a decent standing to get into the industry at some point.

I've also been doing work for a small local games company in my summer breaks between university sessions (I worked there last summer and I'll be working with them again this summer). This mostly involved working with the Unity 3D engine to create a Facebook game and a couple of iPod/Phone games.

EDIT: Oh yes, I almost forgot! Besides just programming, I'm attempting to learn skills from most sides of game development, including 3D modelling and animation, 2D art and graphics, sound effects and music (though I'm in very early stages at the moment on these), and just game design in general (though perhaps not as far as story writing). One day my ambition is to create an entire game by myself from start to finish, just for the challenge. :)

Working on a 2D non-linear RTS. The engines going to be a kind of worms-style contour terrain, with huge maps like terraria. But with a lot of RTS elements like building cities, armies, etc, its going to have a lot of depth. Some sprites for it Those sprites are for the 1950s technology you can research for, there are four different eras, each with different tech: the 1800s, the 1950s, the 2010s and 2100s.

Once upon a time I was one....

I am currently developing a robotron style clone.

I am used to Python, C++ and Java, but a very close friend funded me the Torque2D Engine for 128$. A very generous man. So I use that one for my game. Very nice to use. I won't tell much about the game yet, but I will definately bring up a demo on SG once it is ready for public testing :).

Yups, I'm the leader, and the coder, for the Source based mod called The Collector

I'm somewhat a beginner aswell, I've played about in fps creator which is great if you wanna get used to level design and I'm
learning java which is a great beginner language. If you wanna see an example of what you can do in fps creator check out the first
test level I made here

me and my real life friends are creating a game :D

I do the concept art and designing my other mates do the level designing, audio and coding :D

im creating a board game about space travel (think star trek) that is going to be digital someday in a near future( game maker )

I just finished a Game Art course, dont know a thing about programming thou.
Low poly model

I also did 2,5 (i never finished one of them) boardgames just for the fun of it (and one was for he game design class).
Its good to do a boardgame of the game planned, so you can know ahead of time what will be the most fun aspect, what can be changed, and all that without doing a single line of coding.

ive got 2 years experience in Cry Engines (2&3). i really like level design :) but now its only fun, i dont finished any commercial project

And now we're here.
What would be the perfect multiplayer game?

im doing an internship in a vg company..that's good enough for me as a start :D
