Question about making a game. Please read!

[Honzik]

Hello guys, latley i was thinking of making a little racing game with my 3d models. I would want it to be similar to (for exaplme) trackania. Not to complicated, the cars don't to to smash up, but so that it would have nice graphics and so on. i hope it's not to complicated. If you need anymore info to be able to help me i will be happy to put it here. THank you in advance

makin a game??? nice!!! but do ye knw hw to do game programmin??? :S

[Honzik]

Well, not really, but i am not talking about like something comapring to any game at all. All i want is to try making it, do you have any skill? If yes could you please at least ''teach'' me the basics? Thx in advance

to make a game you need:

Level Designers
Modellers
2d artist
Coders
engine
tools (for exporting and coding)

etc etc etc

not realy a think whitch you can do on youre own ;)

@Ice killer : THank for your reply, but as i said it... hmmm well... Actually i am not really talking about a game, but the thing that i have some car models that i have and i would want to drive them. I have craft director tools, but that's not really to good to actually ''try the car out'' . So modelers,leveldesigners and 2d arstist are really not needed. I think the most needed thing is a engine.. A physics engine, rendering, and etc. engines. So can you still help me?

Hmmm... Here is what you will need. If you don't want to get your head in programing mess use some of the engines. I don know witch one to tell you to use, so you will have to find out witch one suits you.

On the other hand, if you want to make a real game you will want to make it in something like C++ or C# or even VB for instance. The thing here is that you can build your own engine, witch is not really easy but not so hard also.

As I can see you would like the first thing. My advice is to join one of the programing forums and ask the same. They will know a way better to answer than us, trust me .

PS: Try this one

yea, for game development mainly 2 main languages r used, C++ fr all the hardcore games, n sum small time games in Java....i dnt think VB is a language fr game making, coz VB itself is developd in C++ :P hehehe

as fr game engines.....i've heard dat Unreal Engine does most ov the coding fr itself, so ye dnt hv to gv much head into it, though ovcourse ye must know programming....

n jus a few days back i came across a certain thing calld Realm Crafter...though dats fr making strategy games n all....

To create you need
yourself
quest3d
3d max or maya
that's all
