We should totally bring back King of Thieves. !@#$% was awesome.

I agree. I would some of the time I spent on it back in the day to be shown in the form of at least a demo.
I'll be gone without internet for about a week or so. After that, I am down for going through all the old files and restructuring King of Thieves so we can take a look at what we have and what needs work.

Sorry to be the voice of cynicism on this but I forsee another fail on this. I love to see it back as well, but it is just that we have members here on both ends of the programming skills. The really good ones want refuse to work with a language other than C#, C++ or on that level and the lesser skilled only have the ability to work with GML. Leaving you with only graphics, sounds and story but no game. And of what I have seen of the previous King of Thieves project there were a few people working on the engine, but the source was never released. Or I must have missed something.

Doesn't afraid of anything Reputation: +42/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 7002	If anyone has a problem with using GM, C# is a perfectly good alternative. I'm currently in an Advanced Game Programming Class and we've been able to whip out a functioning game very quickly. I'd offer Harvest as a C++ alternative, but it's undergoing major revisions right now. GM is alright as well if we have a lot of newbies. Logged

Reputation: +12/-2 Offline Gender: Posts: 4849	I'd love to dive into C#. I wonder if we could use XNA 3 or 4 and write an engine with that. Then again, C++ with SDL wouldn't be too bad either. Hell, if there was really enough skill members in on it, I'd even go OpenGL or DX. Course, I would learning as I went but it would give me something to do while I work on UN Squadron. Logged

Well we have a lot of people, we can start a project lol. You guys started out well with the KoT project, not sure what happened after that. I'm just getting use to GM, I looked into C# a long time ago but never did anything nor learned anything about it. I had an idea for a community project we all can do together, but that was before, waaaay before I started working on Fusion Gate. link to thread: http://www.zfgc.com/forum/index.php?topic=33734.msg376707#msg376707 « Last Edit: March 04, 2011, 09:27:41 pm by Linkwolf48 » Logged

Personally I prefer to finish the GM MCS Engine first then build King of Thieves on top of that to show of the engine. However, I have had way to much stress lately, with the Master Thesis, Government assholes and finding out that I haven't had a good night sleep since I was about 10 years old, due to a sleeping disorder. BUt I'll get to work on it some more this week. Maybe I'll finally get around to starting a GDD I had in my head all the time for it.

You should put your life first, especially if any code I sent your way earlier is giving you a headache due to its complexity and/or redundancy.

Honestly you could make a thread that says "ZFGC is closing", and we'll have a tremendous spike of activity. Logged

It only bothers me when people who complain about the state of the forum aren't doing anything to make it better; examples of how to do that would be to post in project/resource topics or to make your own. And yeah, I know I haven't posted some code stuff in a while I too have been busy but really if anyone wants to help make this place better then be proactive and be the change you want to see in this place.

I'll start going all over the web (especially DA) and try to get more members. (for a cost, see below). meanwhile why dont a couple of you programmers started making engines/workin on tem. I'll get my old graphics project going again. IF neik (since ur the boss now) allows Zeemo71 and hikolol35 back on the forum (there friends of mine on DA and they would really love to come back) but i have my way around DA and maybe KnowKname would want to come on, i'll ask him

I'm pretty sure everyone here is as capable if not more to get more pull

Nobody really wants to do it though. Throwing out "terms and conditions" of your services is a bit pretentious though.
