Hi. I'm a programmer. What exactly is Essentials?
EDIT: Oh god, RPG Maker. If you guys would rather use a proper engine, I might be of help (and believe me, if you want a non-shitty game, use something other than RPG Maker). I'm pretty experienced in game design and I'm very familiar with C/C++ (especially with SDL), and I've been doing low-level GBA programming for the past few months. I've already got some leftover code from an old top-down Pokemon-style game I was working on half a year ago.

Thanks for the input. We're looking for all the help we can get. You say you're familiar with GBA games, would that transfer over to NDS at all?

I don't see why I couldn't do NDS stuff, but I think you misunderstood. What I meant was for the past few months I've been writing C and compiling it to GBA ROMs. |

How hard is it to make a game like this in C? |

How hard is it to make a game like this in C? Pretty difficult, since C isn't object-oriented and a game like this would require object orientation. It would be relatively easier in C++. This is going to be a PC game, right? |

If it was possible it would be cool to make it playable on flash carts, but that word be immensely more difficult. It's possible to make it playable on flash carts (I'm pretty sure C++ can compile to ARM); the only problem would be the technical limitations of the GBA (programming for it isn't exactly fun all the time =P) The NDS has better specs, and I just found a memory map for it, so I'll see if it's at all possible to do that. EDIT: I can definitely do NDS programming, but it would take a while to learn it and write a library from scratch. |

Yep, DS would be hard. If you guys would still like something more versatile than RPG Maker, I can help. I'm going to have a pretty busy few weeks (next week is finals for me), but afterward, my spring semester's probably going to be pretty easy (I'm probably going to be taking an internship I was offered) so I should have plenty of free time to work then.

Finals done = semester over = time to get crunk etc.
Anyone have any comments? I'm still open to help.
