opinions and thoughts wanted

[ink]

would you play it?

if it was free to play?

would you buy addons?

how much would you be willing to spend on addons?


I appreciate the intelligence on these boards....and could use some critique...and outside input.

I have begun to learn C# and python for this....so it is still a ways off....if I knew scripting I could have it done tomorrow....

ok maybe not tomorrow but hell I have all the game objects created except a few minor ones....

I have gotten fast with animating I am happy with my progress on learning that, I am confident the animations will be smooth and fine by time the finished product comes out...

Unity reads Blender files natively. so it is a perfect match up.

so from telling me I suk and should hang it up to advice on better lighting....I would like to hear our thoughts.

same with the way I did my skins....only with you guys saying what needed to get better was I able to pull them off.....

well considering that we dont really know what the game is about.  i wouldnt buy any addons. 

dont be so negative about your programing skills.   give a little more info about what the game is about and less about why you are having bit of a hard time doing it.

at the very least do it for the fun and perhaps maybe you can earn a couple of hundred bucks and that will be a plus.  after all your game wont be so stupid as to throw a bird with a slingshot to break some blocks, is it?

that still doesnt tell me anything.  is there a story to follow.  are you gonna have just a ring with some dinosaurs and humans wrestling  with trees in the middle.  are humans gonna have niki's giving them air support?....do the sharks have fricking lazer beams we can buy with add ons?

are the two dinosaurs in the bottom gonna give each other the reach around?

hell yea I would play this. Some of the best games in the Indy market are ones that are totally stupid and keep you laughing and coming back. For these types of games, the price point needs to be low - free with in game content to buy, like a new dinosaur that has new kill combos or abilities for .99 or 1.50 depending.
I think in the Indy game people are willing to do small transactions in order to enhance play, provided its something fun and unique. the trick is to make a game so inciting that all those small transactions add up into something big.

Nice art work man.

If you have started learning programming than you are probably long way to go before creating a useful game that would make somebody to play more than lets say 20-30 minutes (assuming you have great idea and you actually made something that works)

Developing a good software takes time.

if it was free to play?
would you buy addons?
how much would you be willing to spend on addons?

See... According to the quote before, you are beginner (at least this is what I can understand). You already have started thinking how do I make a money from writing a game - it is a guaranteed way to fail.
More than that, there are many-many games on the market. High quality ones with many man-years work spent on them.
So the chances that you'll be able to sell something are virtually 0.

You should think: how do I make a cool game, what should it have, make sure that the game actually works well. Learn game development, create good games and maybe someday you'll be able to make some profit from it. But the is a huge way in front of you, and "how it sell" is the last thing that should interest you at this point.

If Angry Birds can be a mega hit, there's no reason this couldn't be.  It's going to come down to your programming I'd think.

I'm not sure if I'd buy add ons for something like this, just because the premise makes it more of a time waster game.
