| In Response To: You guys are just trying to get me to give up. (Starship Security Officer) : It's not going to work. if you are really serious about creating your own FPS video game scenarios and/or possibly trying to break into the video game industry, then here's what will work best: buy a windows based PC (if you don't already have one). buy practically any big name, modern game (quake 1-3, half-life, unreal tournament (99-04), battlefield 1942, half-life 2 when it comes out, etc.) and use any of the myriad of editing tools to experiment slowly with creating maps, models and so on. learn, create, experiment. play through all the publisher scenarios and dl as many other 3rd party maps as you can. read tutorials. and keep trying. and maybe you'll pump out something good enough to submit that people will like, and maybe even get you noticed. or at least put you in touch and work with other 3rd party editors. i'm not certain what exactly your current plan/dream or computing platform is so i'll give you this: the harsh fact is that while many modern wintel games still do manage to get ported to the mac, the editing resources that are available to you on the wintel side are ENORMOUS - and more importantly, MODERN. the marathon engine, from a POV relative to todays games and engines, is completely obsolete, ugly, utterly and completely retarded AI-wise, severly lacking in current, decent editing resources, and DEAD. scores of people have found employment in the industry from beginning at a piddling hobby level, creating maps and scenarios, and submitting their work to employers. it is a very hard and time consuming process but it IS possible - but you will probably not ever be able to do this by doing anything on the marathon engine, no matter how impressive it looks through marathon. it's too old, and will be utterly and completely unimpressive compared to modern engines, and no one will EVER give a shit how you managed to cheat or make a clever workaround in the engine to get an interesting result. | |
