Well my I need ideas for my game now.. I'm makeing a battle game.. my first question is should I try to make it an
RTS
sandbox typegame
something else?

RTS is a game like age of empires.. Idk if this can be done since I do not have the regestred version of game maker.


sandbox will be where the player can set up the battle and set up the battle field then watch the battle.

Also I'm going to re-start making my LoZ: Lost Quest. since I now have enimies working.. I need to ask a few things on game maker fourms still thou before I fix a lot of bugs I have in my game..

I used to be good at making RPG's. I made a gimic of Poke'mon, and added new attacks. I was also good at making arcade style games.

There was one, called "Boo Muncher". Boo had to eat all the Paragoomba's and avoid dangerous obstacles on the way! My friends said it was funny and stupid, but also interesting!

I finished the first version of my game called:

Hylian War Battle Editor Version 1 (http://www.4shared.com/file/8560508/cf9a5f8a/hylian_war_level_editor.html)

Please post your comments and segestions for new areas to make in the editor.

Also I added a Fan Game section to my site so if anyone else here makes games I can put links to ur games on my site

You should put the games on your site, as you can upload any file type with Sitesled.

I put a link to it on my site... but I'm gonna use 4shared so I don't use up all my space on sitseld... of course I haven't used that much really...

but theres aproblem with my game so if your gonna play READ

when you go to load a game you have to type in the file name and then open... for some reason the files don't show up... so I'll work on fixing this..

Thats cool do you still have your games? or are they on the internet somewhere?

Sadly, they became unusable when the 30 day trial of it ran out. And I'd make it again if it weren't for the fact I'm not allowed to download anything BIG (and that is pretty big, say 10 MB) because we have little space on the computer we have now, so I have to wait until we get another computer with more space on!

That's a nice game you've got there. I'm amazed with it, because I wouldn't have a clue how you did that! (I made puzzle games, that were easy to make...)

Not a bad game, but the movement can be very glitchy.

I'm ammazed I did it to :) but with the help of people from Game maker it was possable. I'm working on giveing the player manual controls over the knight objects now. so if they are selected and you right click some where they will move there. then I'm going to make new areas like a forest maybe a deserted to Idk yet with new enimies and maybe new "good guys". also maybe try and make a new bigger room where you can scroll around.. did you find my secret room? or the other tiny thing I added for fun?
