    • What do I do now?


      I am planning on making an EV-style game. I have a lot of the graphics and sounds already. Now what do I do to start putting this together with Coldstone?

    • Make a blank game with CS. Put your graphics in 'pictures,' the sounds in 'sounds,' and the music in 'music.' Then, for the coding. I'd suggest the (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum48/HTML/001163.html")game minimum checklist(/url). Go through that and insert all the essentials in your game. Then start making classes, races, monsters, maps, events, quests, etc. And make sure the maps you make have 2 layers, or the game will crash. That's all for now, and good luck.

      You missed one Celchu:

      Set yourself up with a dummy e-mail address so that in the event that your game gets finished and is distributed your normal e-mail will not be flooded with, "When will you add multi-player?!?" and the derivatives thereof.

      Good luck.

    • Thanks a lot guys. That checklist will be a big help.
