Hi all, i thought my topic was removed by Sony itself or some moderator,

until i looked at my Gamedev score, it was very low all the sudden, then i realized my topic was still there somewhere.

Thanks for all the answers, i do my best to reply :

My head hurts...

I am sorry to sound so rude.

You are thinking like a smart consumer now. If you want to ask something, make it shorter so a simple minded developer like me can understand.

Yes, i am a gamer who also programs games, instead of being a game-programmer who does not play games.

Thank you Ravyne for your big explaination.

Hi,

Low level coding optimizations are years from being a concern of yours. After 1-3 years of making single player and multiplayer 2D games, then maybe you will be ready but perhaps you will never need to use low level coding optimizations. Using an existing game engine is a far more efficient use of your hard work instead of recreating the wheel by authoring your own low level coding.

Hi, i,m busy for ten years now ( looking at my old software in my signature ), and my game engine already exists, altho it is very basic.

When they dropped PS2 compatibility in the PS3, they claimed it was to save money, but some believe it was because the PS2 was still selling and PS3s playing those games was hurting the sales they could make on the PS2.

They had excuses like : HD aspect.

Cant they make some pixxels black i ask myself then ?, oh well i didnt believe it then either.

At least someone who might agree with me, thank you.

btw : i,m not talking about Xbox because i Always buy Playstation.

low level optimalisations are bad.

no offence but you should go back to school or start over.

That is what they told me that its bad in some other topic : i cant find it anymore now, i say it is good because i have an old PC.

Anyways : i Always got kicked out of school as a kid, i,m past 30 now, programming is something i learned myself.

By the way : i,m still playing PS1 games on my PS2, since i dont need a PS1 then, verry handy.

greetings

That is why you are busy for TEN years now and still stuck on "very basic."

People need to do a bit more research, such as here at gamedev, to avoid spending those extra years and thousands of hours of labor with inferior results.

Yeah very basic, i also used some code from some book so thats not good also.

I have nothing like shadow, water etc, i will have to do with whatever i have,

the reason why i am on gamedev : because i dont have 3DstudioMax, it to expensive for me, ( i dont wanto use hacks or cracks, but with this price, they are asking for it )

so i wanto trade exclusive music for your game for a old version of 3dmax, so i can make some spaceships myself,

instead of finding someone who makes spaceships for me, i have given up on that already.

And thank you, version control is indeed important.

Version control can keep a coder on track like nothing else.

About 3ds Max, in my opinion no game engine (hence game) should be limited to Max. The game developer should be focusing on the model and image file formats. To work on these, any decent 3D graphics software will do, even if you have to use another only for inport/export to the end format. Game engines usually allow several alternative graphics formats in the overall workflow pipeline as options because several 3D software can all handle the same industry standard formats.

More research needs to be done by you, focusing on finding a game engine that best fits both your goals and abilities. You will be amazed at how much more that you can accomplish if you focus on understanding and using a prescribed workflow pipeline of a game engine instead of trying to reinvent everything.

Ok thanks, i looked at blender, but it looks very different, i will give it a try sooner or later this year, since it also exports .x files! hooray.

And no, 3DDreamer, i wont use someone elses engine, it cost very much time to invent some other persons engines wheel, i,m having trouble managing my own engine already,

i,m just blasting some spaceships in a 2D sidescroller, so i only need some/lots of spaceships to blow up.

Yes i am about oldskool gaming only.

Some one at Sony must have been reading this, they want backward compatible in 1080p for PS1 & PS2 games, hooraay
