PC Hockey Game
I have no programing experience at all but i do have a cool game idea. a fifa styled hockey game and not an nhl game a real hockey game. it doesn't need to be graphiclly good just having a hockey game would be awsome. it really saddens me that this great game has no video games when so many smaller sport do. any help with my dream game would be greatly appreciated

Ice hockey or field hockey?
Only someone from Canada could ask that!
Proper Hockey doesn;t have anything to do with Ice! :)
He did mention the NHL, which uneducated cretins like yourself would do well on brushing up on ;)
What is NHL??
:P

I'm not trying to be a wet blanket on your ideas, but the easiest (and probably best) way to get a game like this going is to start working on it yourself. You don't have to be a programmer to make something cool if you pick the right tools, so I'd suggest harnessing your passion for the game you want to make and spending a few days playing with Game Maker. Do the tutorials and see if you've got any ideas. We'll always be here to help and answer any questions you might have...
Of course, you might get lucky and our resident sports game pro, Kurtkz might get inspired by your idea and start working on a field-hockey game with you. You never know ;)
-D
Hehe, thanks for the kind words D :)
@cr@zydude: I wouldn't mind working on a field hockey game in a few months or so. Kinda swamped by work at the moment. If you wanted we could collaborate on the design document in the meantime. Lemme know :)
No thanks needed: When you're good, you're good and I'll say so :)
Also, like I said: You never know what'll happen when you throw an idea out there.
-D
this for the offer kurtkz i'd love to discuss design with you.
also gonna try dislekcia's idea and see if i can do some thing
have downloaded game maker 7 and tried to start, problem is lack of objects. is there somewhere that i can download more objects?
you must create the objects yourself and try the tutorials first
What do i use to make objects? the in program object editor is like paint and there's no way i can draw a hockey player! any ideas?
okay firstly:
try the help, do the tuturials then ask again
secondly:
'sprites' are images, you create an image there that your program can use, you can create an image from scratch or load your own

Woah... That was a little extreme, don't you think? 0_o
cr@zydude: As tempting as it is to charge in all guns blazing, it would be wise to look through the help and find out how the program works first. The Game Maker help is awesome, and anything you need to know is in there.
I would also recommend that you run through the tutorials over at the Game.Dev site. They'll help you get up and running through some practical exercises, and trust me - the best way to learn is by doing.
We've also been running some Game Maker tutorials in Dev.Mag for the last couple of months. Issues 14 and 15 have great GM tutorials in them just for beginners like you, so those should help.
Then there are the formal tutorials over at yoyogames. Dislekcia's already pointed those out to you.
Be aware that making games isn't something you learn in five minutes, but with some work you'll start seeing results. :)

yea it was and i apologize but he has been told to try the tutorials first
been trying the demos for a while still failing though. am gonna get a friend to try and see what happens.
btw sorry for any inconveniance or trouble cuased
No, dont take it all wrong despite some failure opinion :D
Im pretty certain every one here is here to help... if they arent they should reevaluate their position on the forums at all...
Let us know how it goes? and dont give up! nobody said making games was the easiest thing :)
thanx man will keep trying
btw this is kinda wierd but is it possible that someone changed my sig coz i didn't have 1 yesterday?
ur sig? if u mean the little tag on the side tahts set by the admins , and it can be changed only by them
Let me jump in with the mainstream and take a swim . Use the tutorials . I remember GM having a nice little tutorial on making a game where you have to click on little faces. Do yourself a favour it works trust me !
