Augmented Reality 3D Racing Game - Using GPS and any vision processing

Wed, 08 May 2013 20:09:19 -0700

I have been developing a augmented reality 3D Racing Game. I'm planning on doing an AR application that will use GPS and Augmented Reality technologies to get a location, and then use compass/gyroscope for tracking 6DOF viewfinder movements. By merging the real world and the game world, augmented reality helps you discover a new way to play........Your racing track is populated with 3D interactive characters and scenarios.
But my question is how to use any vision processing(relying on GPS), and to display 3d models on the screen at roughly correct distances (up to a point) from where the car is positioning.
My target platform will be mobile devices & tablets potentially running one of these OS's WM6, Phone7, iOS and Android.

Hey,
I'm very new to programming as im 14 years old but enjoy games and creating them so i think this is the perfect career choice for me. Yet I don't know what to study or where to start so I'm looking for advice. I'm thinking of learning JAVA first but don't know if this is a good idea.

Looking for members for my game development team

Thu, 28 Mar 2013 09:29:10 -0700

Hello everyone,

My name is Dave, I'm from the Netherlands and I've been working on this idea for a textbased game, with some graphics included. I've been working on the plot for a couple of weeks now and I'm about to start working on the graphics and music. (I know, doesn't sound all that textbased, but I'll tell you all about it if you want me to.)

I'm looking for people who are willing to help me make this game. I'm currently taking a course on programming in C and C++, of which I hope to graduate somewhere around the summer of 2013. So I will be programming myself as well. I'm not just "the guy with the idea who does nothing other than telling others what to do".

I'm looking for people who want to develope the game WITH me, not FOR me.

The game will be released as a free download eventually. I'm looking for people who would like to develope a game in their spare time, as a hobby. I'm not looking to hire people! But the project is something serious for me though.

For more information on the game itself I'd like to refer you to my blog: www.firstgamedevelopment.wordpress.com

If you are interested in becoming a member of this new development team, don't hesitate to contact me by mailing to firstgamedevelopment@gmail.com

Having that said, I hope you'll have an amazing Thursday and I hope to hear from you soon!

Dave

Java Game Dev Team.

Tue, 05 Mar 2013 12:49:29 -0700

Java Game Dev Team.
Hello, my name is Ryan, and I am looking to recruit some people for my Java Game Dev Team.

I know the basics of Java, PHP and HTML.
I have made some simple java programs (Calculator, Slots Machine, etc.). I have played around with lwjgl. But never have made a big game before.

Do not be expecting to be making profit with this team. We are just a group of people having fun and making games. If we ever make a good enough game to make a profit, then by all means you would get a portion of the earnings.
So do not expect gaining money with this.

I am currently looking for a few java coders. One PHP and HTML coder.

Requirements to join my team:

If you want to be a java coder on my team, you must know or learn how to use jMonkeyEngine.

You must be a nice person, not rude or disrespectful.

Please apply by sending an email to rps1996@hotmail.com

Please tell me your abilities, maybe send an example of your work.
Tell me of some projects you have done.

JRPG Game Programming

Tue, 26 Feb 2013 12:46:06 -0700

Hey all,

Well, most of us had the idea of making a game (if not, what the h*ll are you doing here?:P) and I want to turn it to a reality.

First of all, the pay is 0 at start, if it takes off you will be payed according to your pay grade but that's a long way to go.

If you want to be a part of this there will be a seriously in-depth interview which most likely scares off alot of peole, don't stop reading though because I will credit 6 students in any field that matches any of the available jobs (graphics, programming, management and so on).

Every other qualified person will be credited in the end credits and those, let me call it like it is at the moment, with epic skills in any field will be well reviewed and credited in game and with the proper end title mentions

For now we will start off with ideas and game forms that kind of blended into the background along the way eventhough they had massive profits this includes JRPG's, Text and turn based RPG's and so on so on.

If you have no idea what these are or no feel to adapt to the final fantasy, breath of fire, lufia, legend of mana and even pokemon (far off topic but a good example of an old fashion JRPG) all of which went platinum and afterwards got sold as "best of" like lables.

The main goal is to create something new, we have our above mentioned layers but everything is open for debate and my goal is to share it with as much people as possible (for a cost ofcourse), the main engine has not been chosen so a custom made gen would be great, my idea is to mix up a couple of gens but that is for later debate.

First of all, let me add some video's so everyone gets a feel about what will be featured ripped from other games just to give a general idea.

Gameplay style, Battle style and enemies:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD_GqlNtNjo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9AXdysw7qM

Friendly monster/Mounts sidequest/mini games:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fKyIKQDZ-Q

Friendly monsters AI systems/evolution and in battle use:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFYJ0SczRHQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL0wGbBvkJw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nLvC6ezjwU <- notice the bird in the bottom right

The game graphics will be quantity over quality, ofcourse everything will be neatly rendered but you can show off your epic graphic skills in CGI's instead of dragging yourself through constant graphical chatter and stunning general graphics which pretty much turns your game into a 80% conversations and flashy graphics and 20% gameplay kind of game.

Ok lets' sum up some people i really need for this that came to mind (please note that there is NO hurry to create this, NONE AT ALL, so only really qualified people will be added to the project.
People that run graphics can PM me multiple own creations and coders can PM me small projects wich would make it easy for me to pick who does what or even IF someone should do something.

People needed for the core group so it will expand in the future:

Total of people needed; 1-100 including possible interns if the field leader can fit one in.. and ofcourse 10 people to bring me drinks lol j/k.

Story:
Story board: 3+1 (me)
Main story: 1+1(me)
Sub story and extra: 2+1 (me)
Story line/flow: 2+1(me)
AI story board and random text: 2

Coding:

Engine Coders: 3-5 (plus me)
Advanced math, creature deployment and catch ratio,/encounter algorithms etc.: 4
AI devs: 3
Tiny hard to get sequences 2+1 (me).

Graphics:

GFX: 2-5
Basic effects: 2
CGI: 4
General Graphics: 5
Texture: 3
Animation: 3
GFX: 4
Creature design: 3
Character design: 3
Friendly creature design 1
Graphical Creature database friendly to evil: 1

Audio

SFX: 2-3
Basic audio: 3
Background audio: 1
Main audio: 2
Vocalists: 1 male 1 female if needed.

This is the very basic layer i'm laying out, please feel more then free to reply through a PM.
I will try to keep this as up to date as possible but i might lose track of some people at the start, this won't happen after initial start ofcourse.

A few programmer slots and Sound slots already got filled. This, However, is the pure core group and we need ALOT more then listed above.

As mentioned we do take interns if the main leader of a specific section allows it. The max intern size on each section is 5 of which a max of 2 (unless totally perfect sudents) will be credited, everyone else will however be mentioned in the "thanks to" section.

IRC is up and running for discussions between groups, this is a serious project.

Minimum program experience should be game oriented (DirectX, Console based etc).

You can reach me at Firefox@black-hat-hosting.com (seedbox hosting company i work for) to apply, this message will be updated accordingly.

Regards :)

GameGroove Studios - I could use a hand with some game development

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 12:59:26 -0700

Hey Guys,

Over the years I've grown tired of playing games and it's always been a dream of mine to make my own game to sell to the general public hence the reason I've slowly started to learn a lot about game development. I still play a little bit here and there but usually to relieve stress. I find it more motivational to work with someone or a few people since this is even more motivating so I am hoping to put together a small team to get this project going and off the ground.

So I've got two projects in mind so far but my first one that I want to do because I think it will be a little simpler for me to start is an fps-war game since my second project will hopefully eventually be an rpg/mmo after I get alot of experience.

Anyhow so far I've started using mudbox and unity and you can see some of the images of one of my first models i've created here - http://gamegroove.ucoz.net . I've almost got it to the point that i'm ready to paint it but i'll have to figure out more about that then rigging. I've also done some previous level designing in Unity 3d (if you go further back in my website news you'll see some images for it) so this is the engine I'm most likely going with since I feel it will meet the game's needs the best.

First Project is dubbed " FrontWar " for now.

Basically I can do some of the 3d models but then I gotta figure out more like the game programming itself to get things going but I could use some help with anything if anyone is interested. The game is gonna be an fps-strat-rts combo in real-time. Unfortunately I won't be able to pay right now so this will be strictly volunteer for the time being but I do have plans to launch it on kickstarter once I get more of it together to help raise funds so once I have some funds going for it you'll definitely be paid and accredited for your work. I also welcome newbie developers into this who are looking to make a name for themselves since I am pretty much in this boat already.

If you're interested in helping me let me know. You can view the full details of kinda what i'm aiming for in the project here on my website - http://gamegroove.ucoz.net/index/project_frontwar/0-62 . It's kind of a big list but I'm aiming for something to make the game worth while to players though it may take me a good long while to get to that point I feel that the payoff with be well worth it once it's done.

Lastly, I don't know everything so in the leastbit I would also appreciate any advice and help with tutorials at the least if anyone has any further information so that I can get this going more to learn more to make this game happen. Thanks!

Battleship

Hi All,

I have created a game of battleship in Java which runs between client and server.

I am required to create a diagram/table showing the protocol used to exchange the messages.

Can anybody recommend a way for me to do this as I am unsure on what message protocol means from my understanding I should show how messages are encoded.

Thanks,
