The currrent programer is already working on it and says hes able to do it. It is not something hard to do. Both games are also games that one can even make in RPG maker or so, given of course it wont be exactly the same, but ours wont be exactly the same as those.
I named those two games so people can know the basic idea of what i want.
If what i asked of the people cant be done then the two games i mentioned would not be there now would they.
Now im looking for someone to help my current programer. He already has everything planed out. |
That post right there tells me you two have no clue what you are in for. The difference in your idea and the two AAA titles you named is that those titles were made by teams of 30+ programmers as well as groups of artists, sound techs, etc. While you have you, one programmer, and who knows for art or sound/music. Having ambition is fine, but you are trying to get programmers for a game where they will be under the programmer who may not even have enough experience to make the game. Making a RPG is actually one of the hardest games you could right before going into 3D programming. You have to do the script, then in code make the graphics engine, font engine, decide if you are going to script it or not, sound engine, etc. Then you have to detail the items, weapons, armor, vehicles (if any). Towns, dungeons, world maps, hidden areas (if any), etc. The fun part is making the code that will represent all this.
Elysian Shadows is a 2D JRPG style game that has been under development from scratch for 5+ years and even restarted from scratch once. Two of their team members have made and published a game, and yet ES is still being developed (they have a good size team too).A RPG that is coded in Allegro called Fenix Blade was being done by two guys and they got burned out on it so it hasn't been updated in several years now.
RPG Maker is basically an engine where the graphics are supplied (and I don't remember if you can supply your own in the PC version) and you basically script it which is not the same as making an RPG from scratch in C++ as you will have to make the engine and everything.
What games has he made to make him think he is ready to jump head first into such a large undertaking?
Yes Python is interpreted scripting language and it's not literally a lot similar with C++ but the main point was that if some one have C++ knowledge then he/she would not have trouble to adjust using Python. |
C++ is considered one of, if not the hardest, programming language to learn. If you have C++ knowledge you can pick up any language with little to no trouble. That doesn't make them similar to C++. The syntax has nothing to do with, all languages follow a set of techniques and the same core fundamentals. Once you have them down you can quickly learn other languages.
