Thanks, I'll make a small interrogation scene and see how it goes.

Thanks guys!

I'm going to stick with C#, for one because Unity supports it and not Python, I plan on sticking with unity .

Yes, I've download visual studio express, and I've known unity's UI for months . I don't know programming, but I know Unity's interface well .

Hey guys, so I've decided to learn programming, and I want my first language to be C#. I know nothing. No programming terms or anything at all about it, but I know Unity 3D supports C#, so where should I start? Remember, I know nothing, so try not to be too technical. Thanks.

Cool

Sorry, just thought it might work good in a game.

Hey guys, first off, I will not be making this game. Anyone has the right to use this idea, I just wanted to see what people thought of it, because I like to think of ideas like this (I'm weird .) Anyway, here's how it goes. Mark's life is going down the drain. He just got laid off, he's becoming an alcoholic, and his wife divorced him. So recently, he's become obsessed with lucid dreaming (knowing that your dreaming, controlling it) to get away from his everyday life. Soon he starts seeing a weird entity in his dream. It's a creature, and it feels like it's stalking him. Even though he tries to get rid of it, it won't go away (even though it's in his dream.) Soon, he starts seeing it in his everyday life. Now Mark has even bigger problems. Half of the time, he can't tell if he's dreaming or awake, not to mention the entity is following him, watching...

What do you think of the idea? Like I said, I'm not using it, so you can if you feel like it.

I'll answer them.
1): When I started, I didn't actually go into any "training", I just started looking things up, reading tutorials, etc. and it just got easier and easier as time went on.
2): Don't know what you mean, sorry.
3): If you like doing it, keep on going and don't stop.Also, start small.
4): That's hard to answer, as I'm not working for pay at the moment.
5): If you're a programmer, you don't really need much. But you will definitely have to hire someone or learn, as 3D art is what makes up the actual game.
6): You will eventually probably have to definitely learn some sort of programming, animating, or 3D art.
7): That really depends on what you're doing. If it's your full time job, then you do it all day. If it's a hobby, like me, then I usually spend a few hours a day working on it.
8): The feeling of achievement when you complete something big, even if no one will play it. (My terrible recreation of pong was my first project ).
9): If you have a team, it's definitely getting everyone together and putting everything together.
10): I hope to make this a full-time job eventually.
11): It depends on the size of the project. I'm working on a big one now, so I have a team.
12): I don't have clients, I just make games that I think people will enjoy playing.
Sorry if I didn't answer well, hope I helped! You can read my Developer Journal entries for more.

Just go to the classifieds section and find 3D artists/a team, and start making a game.

...

I have to disagree about the hiring freelancers thing. There are plenty of people that will work for free if you look in the right place.

dakota.potts, I really love your ideas, thanks! Luis, your ideas sound good, too!

This could happen in reverse of what you would think.  For example, you could make it silent instead of noises you hear. Have people die in front of the players, instead of just the player dying. Let the character see the entity from time to time (mirrors, shadows, etc.) but don't let them die right away. The key is to make the players want to quit before the game is over. Maybe as the character is getting closer to the entity, a noise increases. Make it an odd noise like a buzz, or a beep. This would really unsettle me. Also, make the character appear in different places. For example, say the player sees the entity in front of them. Then, when they turn around, make the entity transport to in front of them again. Make more than one later on, so they think they've conquered their fear of one, then they see something different later, making them unsure.

. I was addicted to Batman: AA, mostly due to finding items from other Batman characters and collecting biographies. That game captured that part of my brain that gets addicted really quickly to that kind of stuff. Plus, it was the first Batman game in like 15 years that was decent.

I liked that game, too. It just felt really reptitive.

When the battle starts, everything else just freezes in place. (Batman: Vengeance on PS2)

Oh my gosh. I have that game for the original xbox sitting on my shelf collecting dust! The graphics are horrific. But since you mentioned it, I might have to pop it in and play it (haven't played it in 5+ years).
