The process of games

[ziggyjuarez]

Why do games take so long to make?Is it money or what?And what about future games,will they take longer to make?

[TheDave]

think of everything thats in a game.... now think how long it would take to make and debug

[ziggyjuarez]

um 2 minutes?

[TheDave]

a bit longer. also consider a lot of games have their own engine. which i imagine is a lot of typing and needs the brain of a rocket scientist, actually smarter cos even i know how a rocket works :blink:

[Dark Steno]

if you have all abilities to create a game, how long you think you could do for a game?

[3RA1N1AC]

why DOES it take so long to make a game? i don't understand.

umm... how long would it take you to make a game ziggy? 2 minutes.....ok. :unsure:

[ApacNTS]

pffft it takes more than 2 mins to code a f'n nes game, come on now. main reason games take longer, trial and error, things may be cool in theory, but getting it on the platform, that's a whole new ballgame.

[Xilo]

You try typing in thousands of lines of code, creating a physics engine so stuff behaves like it does in the real world, create a graphics engines to display all the models/shadows/special effects/etc, along with all the other parts of the game, AND get it to work CORRECTLY, create all the art and models, a story, and a slew of other crap.

2 minutes? You're fucking crazy...

[Dark Steno]

if he buy the games in 2 minutes thats logical.

I have a question about everything related to CG media

Why does it cost so much to make? What are they actually paying for; labour?

Yeah, because drawing a crappy image is exactly the same thing as developing a game :rolleyes: What the heck is it supposed to be anyway?

cg media. time and talent. it's takes alot of time, and talent. you start with nothing, then you have to get the actual people to do the movements, transfer that over using a motion system. then do character designs, then do background designs. voice casting, color, shading etc etc that's why it takes so much time. and the old saying goes "time is money"...so some lucky bastards are making plenty of money.

i think that image is where anaratica invades russia??? rise of the pengiuns baby!!!
