Saturation is a term bandied about. I don't really think there are any platform that won't seem saturated. Other than building your own. The "want" everything for free isn't so much a want as it is a reality. I can google any game name followed by …

3rd person looks FANTASTIC :) good to hear about the booster inclusion. Looking forward to a beta? :)
-
Thanks for the info Clintillo! Having that developer's account is the primary thing for me I guess - and without the luxury of having a partner overseas I'll have to figure out what I need to do... Hope someone here can help! I wanna get hold of th…

This is of interest to me too - particularly to get tweening to work with in something like game maker studio. There's this "Spriter" - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/539087245/spriter

So happy to see this picking up :) Can someone please compile the information we have at the moment into the categories that we've outlined? :D We can then work on how the page will/can/should look like :)
-
Sounds great! Did this idea come out of our conversation last night? We were all like "LET'S DO THIS THING!"... But yeah an hour a month seems more than reasonable. I do wonder how much I can contribute in an hour but I'll definitely go for it :)
-
I was there a LOT earlier :P On another note, the t-shirts are ready and they look awesome :) It'll be difficult to prevent spilled drinks on them once into party land, though :)
-
But doesn't rocket jumping hurt yourself? Is that ok? I just thought that mechs wouldn't really... Shoot themselves to get higher, they'd just pack jetpacks or something. It fits the less serious world you were talking about I guess :) 3rd person …

Updated OP to reflect the stuff we're looking for :) Everyone please contribute what you know! Luma arcade: http://www.lumaarcade.com/ QCF: www.qcfdesign.com/ Dev mag: devmag.org.za/
-
Well anyone that has anything to do with game dec in SA. WITH LINKS! :) First priority are the studios, like qcf, free lives, etc. Big or small. 2) game dev media like dev mag 3) education stuff like the wits game course and I remember there was …
-
The point is actually to get that info first then we can see how to implement, I've tried like twice to get some kind of game dev related list of entities with little feedback...
-
wow so early. And so brief too, I wonder if we'll manage in that time frame :)
-
I think he means to shade according to distance away from view - so like your typical fog effect, things being paler the further it goes.
-
(I think his rocketjumping is more a function of his demoing the game than it being a final game mechanism? I may be wrong though :P) That Waiting for Horus game looks like so much fun to play, the effects and explosions are fantastic despite being…
-
You know what - that timeline idea sounds great, what if we drew up a master timeline of 48 hours, and plotted the evolution of each game involved like that? I think that'd be really interesting. How many projects were completed in this game jam?
-
as much as I think localising the domain is cool, I also don't think we should fragment the brand - so is it makegamesSA.com or makegames.co.za? I think makegamesSA.com is stronger as it says to whoever does not know what .co.za is that it is SA - a…
-
Such an epic story :) The game mechanics are wonderfully balanced and asks really cool questions too. Would love to see it finished! (is the link supposed to link back to this thread?)
-
Well I'm not talking about an advertisement about specific things, but a group of bodies connected (or should be connected) by makegamesSA. Not every post that goes into a particular site (what happens in the forums isn't what I'm talking about eith…
-
Having images become consolidated into a single carousel of some sort is a good idea. Maybe an expand button that will show all images (as is now) if the user so chooses to browse like that. +1 :)
-
@edg3 interesting feedback! I never saw that as a problem for myself, but obviously that's what playtesting is for! So you would try to match the single reds with the double reds, only to be disappointed that they don't become bigger? Hmmmm I wonde…
-
1) Probably too many pics :) 2) I LOVE MECHS. Grew up on Gundams and Mechwarrior. And Armored Core. 3) Where ARE the mechs??! It's a mech game, I would really want to SEE mechs. You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to Hawken. OMG. 4) Isn't …
-
Woot! Thanks for playing! Yeah there are two tricks to that, which I'll throughly have to tweak/tutorialise/something: when 3 one-block items match, they make a two-block, which means you save/get one block back. 3 two-block swords make a three blo…
-
Wow the art is incredible. Interesting that they seem to have now an item system akin to RPG... Common, Rare, Legendary etc. Wonder if that has to do with gameplay or just labels used in development. Back to the topic though - it's refreshing to se…
-
I feel that we need a bit of a list/presence/something that brings together anything game related in SA on the site - whether it's a list or a slider or something on the home page or whatever - it's important for people to know that this group is mo…
-
I was waiting for a video to pop up :) Then realised it was a podcast :) Good coverage! Well done to everyone involved! :D
-
That (games made at the Jam) would be a GREAT idea :)
-
@ridhojeftha sold! :) Confirming with the printer now. Will send you guys bank details via pm. Eft is simpler. Cool guys :)
-
OK got the quote, R130 each for 10 - printed on heavy weight 195gsm Fruits of the Loom tees. I'm going to have to pay it ahead, guys please give me confirmation, I need to confirm tomorrow lunch time with them and pay deposit to make sure it comes o…
-
Currently we have 9 tees, I'm still putting through an order of 10 - with an extra L. Please let me know asap if anyone else still wants or want their sizes changed. I'm not sure if I can ask them to change in time but if I can I will. Still waiti…
-
Here is the sizing chart for anyone who'd like to really make sure. It's in inches though, best to measure the chest size. do a littler conversion :) http://www.absoluteuniform.com/SizeCharts/FotL-Tshirts.html

Oh doh! I had wednesday in my head for some reason. Here you go :)
-
My kinda outdated porti, but it's good :) http://thesteventu.com/portfolio/
-
So how did it go? Pictures? Peeps?
-
Oh, and where is this based? I'm in Joburg. Actually I'm currently on a full-time freelance basis (hiatus from "work") so I could put my full time towards this if an artist/designer/creative is needed. My skillset - design, illustration, no 3D, 6 y…
-
That's marketing in SA for you. Good luck to all involved, could be a showpiece for anyone who could pull it off. But it's higher higher grade stuff... Kinect etc.
-
Nice one! Would be great to see what the turn out would be. Have an awesome evening guys :)
-
For now I've asked for a quote for 10 tees 2 colour print - I'm still waiting for the quote to come in but they said they should be able to do tuesday. So... Let me tell everyone when he gets back to me. So right now I have these guys wanting one:…
-
THIS. Four Fourths. It's only a demo now by the guys who made Solipski (awesome). I have no idea what the game does but it looks cool. http://mikengreg.com/4fourths/
-
Yeah some people wouldn't be caught dead in a red shirt, I'm not one of those though :) I'll ask people I know. What was their price/quantity? We need to know how many people wants these shirts to actually place an order. (incl. size). WHO'S INTER…
-
Wow I said on that other thread next year, I guess this year is fine too :) What quality? I'm really fussy about quality of shirts, but if it's for a one-off awareness shot why the hell not :) Who did you get in touch with? I know Roy at BamBam so…
-
yeah of course, it largely depends on the nature of the game and the nature of the team. If it's a moddable game and you have resources, it definitely is a major plus. But for example... Bubble Bobble wouldn't be moddable. Much. Well look at that c…
-
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED :)
-
Swwwwwweeeet :) What compelled you to show the white backs though? :P Good luck for the event! Hope we get a lot of involvement and crash the server or something :P Get pictures, talk to people, get quotes, let's write something up, and spam some …
-
High five :) Next year we'll all be wearing MakeGamesSA T-shirts to this festival. And I'll have a game to show to my name, too. Hopefully :)
-
they've updated the program so the direct link didn't work anymore, after some digging, i found the current version: http://www.amaze-festival.de/sites/default/files/2012/691-festival-programme/attachments/amaze-interact-programme-print3.pdf
-
Sounds AWESOME :D I've always thought Treasure was one of THE best teams ever for bringing Gunstar Heroes to life :) Having them as influence is definitely in your favour :) Platform? :P
-
Well I don't think it's really all about "retro" and "pixel", but a stylised, simplistic art direction that goes more for shapes than detail, which I think Journey fits in. But hey that's down to individual taste. Darwinia was great. Looking forwar…
-
I agree the typography isn't quite there yet, it was mainly a function of not having mich time left and needing to fit a long width thing into the business card layout and still keeping it one line and with a www. AND .com. My feelings are that the…
