I was actually expecting support and creative suggestions from you guys. This is a modding community, after all.

To be entirely fair, your proposal was poorly written.  And people respond poorly to poorly written proposals.

That's why I'm not going to major in English. A edit button exists, so what, in your opinion, makes it poorly written? (so I can change it)

Lol. You're not the first person with ZERO modding/coding experience to come out and say they want to make some new game/game engine/epic mod/whatever the hell notion you have. A new game takes years for a staff of hundreds to make, and you making a sandbox game of this magnitude by yourself is, frankly, laughable. Please, spare yourself more embarrassment.

Besides, if people can make a Star Wars mod of GTA on their own, then with enough ambition, I can learn to mod GTA too.

Although I'd probably need other people to do stuff like make cars fly.


The only reason I'm not experimenting with it now is because I don't have the money to get the PC version of GTA4. But I don't really want to since I have the console version. Besides, I doubt my computer could handle it.

Do you have any idea how much you keep contradicting yourself? This right here is a perfect example.

"I wanna mod GTA4"
*several posts later* "I don't wanna get the PC version of GTA4 because I already have it for xbox/ps3 and I don't think my computer can handle it."

How the hell do you plan on modding a game that your PC can't play or you don't even want to buy?!

I plan on having a better computer when I get into State. I'll also probably have some spending money then.

Also, State has a game design course/program, so that should help me figure out how all this stuff works.



I mean, I got the console version of L4D, but I don't have XBL, so I can't play online. PC version has free online & custom campaigns. I didn't want to get the PC version, but I forked out the dough and got it anyway.

Jeremiah actually let me borrow neuromancer. I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

Also, it's hard finding exactly what you want by using google images. I can only get gradually closer approximations by searching images with another image.

Don't major in game design (or any design, really) at a state-level university.  You'll waste your time.

Assuming that you actually want to design games, rather than make "the parts": a better plan would be to embrace a technical school for modeling and/or game development (which will give you experience with toolsets and specific problem solving), and flesh it out with a BA-level computer science degree.  A film minor/major wouldn't hurt, either.

... Get a job, stop waiting for allowances from your mother or saving up said allowances for 2 years. :wtf:

[EDIT] Also, can this thread get locked? I don't think its original purpose will ever resurface.

You've got vision. Just realize that what you want and what is do-able with the resources at hand are always two different things.  If you want to mod then start small or get into another team that already started a project. Pick up the skills while you're young... art, modeling, programming.. . those are the building blocks.

Going to Uni won't be as much of a help as you're thinking. Besides small indie games ie. sub phone complexity you won't find much that is made by a single person.  Something like you're thinking of will take a large team of guys a few years  to finish.

I'm not saying it can't be done or you shouldn't try...  everything starts with an initial idea. Just realize where you stand now, what it will take to get there, and decide if it's worthwhile to spend that much of yourself in pursuit of it.

Hold on one bloody second here.

The only reason I'm not experimenting with it now is because I don't have the money to get the PC version of GTA4. But I don't really want to since I have the console version. Besides, I doubt my computer could handle it.

You don't have seven dollars?  You could work at McDonalds for an hour (okay, maybe an hour and ten minutes to cover federal income tax), quit immediately, and come out of it with enough money to buy the PC version of GTA4 this weekend.  You probably wouldn't even have to be there long enough to hear the whole health and safety training lecture.

The crux of the issue here, though, is that you have presented an idea and given us little to no reason to care.  There's nearly seven billion people in the world, each of whom has enough neurons to rub together to form about seven billion ideas of his/her own.  An idea on its own isn't worth anything.  "A dime a dozen" overstates the value of an idea.

You can flesh it out all you like.  You can cull as many pretty pictures from the internet as you like to attempt to make us visualize the idea.  The fact of the matter is that you've been consistently telling us two things in this thread:  (1) You don't want to invest the effort in realizing this project yourself.  (2) You can't be bothered to spend seven dollars to see the platform upon which you want to build your project.  If this idea is so worthless to you that it's not worth your time or that modest monetary investment, it's pretty goddamn disrespectful to tell anybody else that it should be worth their time, effort, and money.  Modding communities aren't your servants, and the members of those communities have ideas of their own to invest their efforts in implementing.
