So I want to make a game (not for CC, but real PCs), but I'm completely fresh out of ideas…
Anyone wanna help me?
So fill out
this form.
And if I like it, I may use it. The game may be free or paid for when finished, not sure, but you'd get a free copy if I used your idea! Not only that, but you'll get credited! Isn't that AMAZING?!
please helpSo click the link above if you wanna help, and I may use your idea!
More Info
The game may be made using LOVE2D or GameMaker Studio (GML), whichever I think would fit the best for it.
I can't tell you a release date or anything, as it depends on the game, but there would be a development blog where you could track changes made.
If you so choose, you could get constant new alpha/beta versions sent right to you via your prefered method.
If you have a copy of the program I am using to make it, I may allow you to make changes or even develop aside me. If you don't, you can always suggest changes or additions.Edited on 27 January 2014 - 05:57 PM

What program do you use to make them? Or do you hand code them with Love or something?

I haven't looked into Game Maker yet, but I know LÖVE is free - I have a Sublime Text 3 package installed for it.

Gamemaker Studio has a free version, but I have Professional. I also have LOVE but I'm not sure what I'm going to develop the game with.

Use Construct 2. It's the best. Html5 powered for great multi-platform support.

Simply the fact that it advertises "No coding involved!" as a feature dissuades me.

Yeah. I Googled it and it seems a bit fishy with it's "No Coding Needed", but I actually want to take a test run with it now that you mention, and I might make a simple little game. I wonder if it allows you to code (as an IDE), but it's not needed, or if you can't actually do the coding.

Yeah, I tried Construct 2 and it just wasn't my style. I like GameMaker because you can use it without coding knowledge or with, and it can make and has made pretty darn awesome games. I personally use GML though, because I have coding knowledge. Also LOVE is nice because Lua is a familiar language to me (what, with CC and all) so I can use it relatively easily. Construct 2 I feel is a bit limited and simplistic for my likings.

Yeah, now that I look at Construct 2, it sucks.

I've used GameMaker Professional, and I would prefer using Love2D over it. Just my opinion.
I'm thinking about taking one of those 3d thingies on here and making a 3d engine for Love2d if you're interested :D/>

I just like its language and setup, usability etc., so I'm probably going to stick with GM:SP. But you are entitled to your own opinion, so I wont start a flamewar. I respect your likings as much as I do mine.
Although,
I'm thinking about taking one of those 3d thingies on here and making a 3d engine for Love2d if you're interested :D/>
Now that would be great. Might not use it for this game, but probably for some future endeavor.

I linked one of those in Shnupbup's idea submission form, but I've lost the link.

I hate Gamemaker, the UI is just horrible IMO. I would make a game in a real language, but I'm just too lazy to learn a new one. Only if there was a non-OOP language that was good for making games……… :D/>

Any game library is going to use OOP. It makes everything so much simpler - I think you're better off getting comfortable with it. In most languages, OOP is no where near as hard to implement as it is in Lua. Maybe try Python and PyGame.
