[Suggestion]Make a game

[janh95]

Hello all.
i just got a good idea i don't know if it is already asked.
but anyway here it comes, Project Reality should make a realistic game instead of a mod.
well hope you gonna use it .

One answer .. development costs.

but you never know...it may be picked up one day by a major player in the field and marketed as a stand alone game. DoD and CS were.

It could actually give BIS and Codemaster (Armed Assault 2 and Operation Flash Point 2) one hell of a run for their money.

If they keep providing excellent product for their fans, then the sky is the limit. This game would have a much larger fanbase if it wasn't a mod for a 3 year old game.

still my favorite game.

To even start building a game you would need a game engine.

And the good ones are very expensive.

Well im sure R-Dev will finish as a Dev team in a Great Company All good modder finish by develop a real game Anyway, if you consider this, P.R. is an entire new game using BF2 engine... only engine,some vehicles , Squad system and Voip are still used

BF2 should have sponsored PR since its keeping BF2 alive that way. Well lets just say BF2 is doing well enough for themselves but mods will keep the game running for the future when the gmae gets boring. For me, bf2 got boring extremely fast.... now, its Lock On and Arma all the way.

PR would need more players. They bought the idea to cs because it was the biggest multiplayer game on the internet, the fact that took so long says how likely pr is to receive a similar offer unfortunately.

unfortunatly i think it would be impossible now...the way the econemy is going ...the dollar turning to sh*t in your hands.....but dont let taht discourage you

[janh95]

well if all members would donate a little amount of money it may be possible.

[Scot]

a little? more like a lot. from everyone!! and if the dollar is cr*p, then make it in ingerland!!

Erm seriously... Does Anyone know how exepnsive is such a "engine" I mean really now. Really would like to know this =) Does anyone have some information about the price?

[Rhino]

for a pretty basic game engine, this one is $20,000, but is nothing like as good as the BF2 engine so if you think this engine is bad

However great the suggestion is, it's been suggested at least two or three times before that I can remember, so I suggest you use the search function and have a look at some of the earlier threads. They've got loads of reasons why it's, unfortunately, not really an option to make a new game.

Locking for resuggestion.

That just depends which engine. There are a few decent free open source engines around, but these are on the whole not nearly as advanced as the major commercial ones.

Things like the Unreal 3 engine, Crysis' CryEngine2 run to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Remember that these things make up a large part of commercial games that can bring in millions in revenue, and the development time put into them is huge. So that price is in no way extortionate or unfair.
