I'm thinking about working on a little Metroid 3 clone that is similar to Megaman Powered Up! for PSP; whereas its a chibi style 3d sidescrolling version of the older version of the game. Samus would resemble the chibi samus in my avatar; and it would play out kinda like the old 10 page 1993 promotional manga that came out in japan. I would probably only have a few things to do in it though; it would be more of an XNA programming test for me personally, but I need a project to learn some new C# stuff, and this could do for one.

I've got another project in the works right now, but its not anything I can release or discuss (professional release project, as apposed to a fan project), but I should be able to find time to work on this while my projects in development and I have my personal down time lol

I'm not saying this idea isn't cool, cause I'd love to see it, and I know you'd make it sweet. It's just that you have the resources to do much cooler things. « Last Edit: October 01, 2007, 11:22:38 am by Dayjo » Logged

Actually, XNA is free for windows ($100 for XBox developement. Source code can be released, exes created, etc) and the source code is interchangable between the XBox 360 and PC. (So porting it would be a matter of changing a few controls.)

actually I'd need to take on this project to raise up my resources for professional game dev lol... Since I'm not familiar with C#, I need a learner project to get myself to a point to where I can offer valid input to my programming staff lol

(So porting it would be a matter of changing a few controls.) You really don't understand, do you? XNA is not... free software. It does not matter whether it's $10000000, $100, $0/gratis or even if they give you money to use it; it's proprietary software! Even if he's going to release the source code for his engine/game as free software, it's not going to make XNA free. Releasing it using XNA will make it pointless until someone ports it to a free operating system. They can not benefit from the source code unless they can modify all the components the game works on. And they can't modify XNA, that's what makes it non-free software. It's a little collection of binary blobs you trust MS has coded as you want it... but have they? You can't know since they don't provide source code; their software is non-free, which means they deny your freedom. Logged
