Why did you make a new post about it?

JediMy game is a first person city life simulator, unlike games like GTA it has rich business mechanics, a stunning parkour system, massive player customization, stunning destruction physics, and stunning graphics with Unreal 4.

So, you're gonna do all that with less than a millionth of the budget of GTA. Good luck.

Jedi
No it won't be free, yes it will have multiplayer(eventually), and no I don't have current screenshots.

I won't pay ANY money for some amateur game. You think you're gonna make money off that?

Jedi

I'm making it with Unreal Engine 4.8.

Unreal engine isn't a good engine. Use Unity. *Trust me I've used both*

Jedi

I'll be posting screenshots pretty soon.

A bit about me
I'm a digital artist and programmer, I've been making smaller games all my life and its time I make something bigger, something that will make a mark in gaming history.

I have over 4 years of programming experience, and 2 years of modelling experience.

And no I don't want help.

You might not want it, but you need it. In order to make a game like GTA, you need to program TONS. (no joke) GTA has like 100 programmers and comes out every 2 or so years. You are one person, so if you worked at the same efficiency as one of those programmers it would take 200 years. Okay, that's probably wrong, but it would still take WAY too long even if you correctly estimated.

UPDATE: And if you don't play minecraft anymore, get off this website.

Alright, we got some bait.

How many excellent games have been done with small budgets? Many, many, many.

Uh, amateur game? Let's see, wasn't that Minecraft? Papers, Please? Don't Starve?

Dude, Unreal 4 looks unreal-ly good. Like insane good. Looking at your profile, I'm not ready to believe you can use Unity.

Heard of the 'General Discussion' board? LOADS of people here stopped playing Minecraft, myself included.

Please keep your poorly backed opinion to yourself.

Bruh, don't hate on him.

@OP Keep us updated! I'd love to see the finished product!

You should put this on kickstarter

Will it be appropriate? How violent will it be, and would it be rated PG, PG-13, or M+, etc...

Jedi, I think you could probably do a really good job. If you need help advertising or getting new ideas, or even just some more support, I'm right here! Although I can truthfully say I don't know how to program yet (I'm actually learning how!)

So is this a one man project?
If so and you stay true to your word about stunning graphics you are some computer God

Best of luck to you and this project

Look forward to it! most definitely going to get it!

I was messing around with some gun mechanics and in the process, invented a weird game.. Basketcube its basically basketball with instead of a ball, its a cube..

No it won't be in the final game.

Update:
Started making inventory system
Started modelling AK
Started modelling pistol

This is weird, but do you think we could skype or something just so i could stay updated, also maybe i could advertise for you?

I'm done arguing with you. I've got better things to do.

Sounds pretty cool. What would the price range be because I would really want to buy it! I cant wait to see some screenshots and gameplay videos!

Jedi
And no I don't want help.

I don't feed trolls, jerks, or anything of the like.

Sounds like you have had a few people who were less the positive about your game... Anyway, sounds like it could be a good! Just stick with, I hope you do well! Maybe when it's out I might even try it out.

I am going to start off by saying this post will tear your idea to shreds. I only feel like this is right thing to do, because I have seen a lot of people let down over the years, and the scope of this project that you are trying to make, its beyond reasonable.

I have been a game developer for more than 6 years. I started small, making simple art for my projects and using some of the most basic tools found online. I have come very far from that point, and now I make games that I don't even publish because I either loose sight of the point, or just don't feel like its polished enough. I get that you are young and ambitious, but I beg you, please start smaller.

Unreal Engine is not a good starting engine. You need C++ knowledge, you need a team of artists and level designers. UE is not a solo developer tool, hence why lots of triple A title game companies use, because they have the man power in order to make something great with it.

I know what it is like to want to make something massive. To want to create your own title and publish it to thousands of supporting people, but things like this, that won't ever make it out of the prototype phase are not good projects do go solo at. If I had to guess on a fair price point if the game where to ever be released, I would put it at well over $2500 because of the hours and hours of work put into it, that is if it even lives to what you have promised us all.

Do what you like with this information. If you still really want to continue on, despite what I said, go for it, just don't be upset when people stop taking you seriously because you have not held up your end of the promise in the end. I really want people to become better developers. I love to watch communities grow around games that they had played since the alpha version. I know all you want is to make a truly great game, but this is not the place to start.

I am not trying to tell you not be a developer or to stop dreaming big. I am just trying to convince you to start smaller. A simple game can become a very big thing over night.

Look at Call of Duty. Its a super huge game, played all over the world, but it has 1 very basic mechanic. A first person shooter. Point and shoot. Nothing to it. The kill streaks and load out system are all secondary to what the game really is. If you make a solid core mechanic to a game, something that people love to play with, then everything you make after will just seem like a bonus to them, you get what I am saying?

Yep.

Hey uh. Just wanted to say im still looking forward to the game, i havent posted for a while on the other post. I was banned from the forums for a month. I know you dont care, just wanted to say.

PS: You dont need to reply if you dont want to. Just wanted to say im not dead and still supporting this game and the developer.
BTW i still think unity is a better engine FOR A SOLO DEVELOPER

All I can say is good luck and keep us updated Hopefully you'll produce something.

Posting just to follow. This sounds awesome!

Making good progress, inventory system complete.

I'm now working on the money and shopping systems, which will obviously take a while as they are significant features.

Uhm Unreal Engine not a good Engine? Are you kidding me? Google ARK: Survival evolved. Its in Alpha and its already better than half of the simular games. Just saying.

And regarding the OP. I doubt this is gonna work out if you're doing it all alone. Get some help dude. Seriously. Get a team and do your thing. And if you want to publish your game. You HAVE to let it get age rated.

Good luck!

Update:

Added health and stamina system complete with HUD indicators.



I'll be making it look better in the future.

Since you've already mentioned ARK, it hasn't been ESRB rated, and its selling like hot cakes.

As for going it alone, I have a weird mentality. Games like GTA take 2-4 years to make because if one guy wants to add a feature he has to ask another guy who asks another guy who asks another guy instead of just doing it. Not a proven fact, but a theory.

I can handle the art and code aspects, so I really don't see a need for a team at this point.

Also I can't afford to employ other game developers..

EDIT:
Unturned was made by a single high school student, and it turned out just fine.

If you would like, yes I realize you said you don't need any help, but I can help you with your game by making a logo design for it, heck I could even redesign the health bar. Also don't be shy to deny my help if you seriously don't want any help. I am not good at making models, but I would say i'm pretty decent at making logos and such. I don't want any money, all I want is a mention of my name in the game, that is if you even do want my help. Anyways looks like a fun game!
