I will now attempt to build the next best RTS space game using Game Studio A7.

All of my art, musical, Lite-C programming, & story writing skills will be pushed far beyond their limits.

I'm sure I'll run into problems along the way & I wish to get some advice every now & then.

As your previous posts suggest that you're not trolling, I'll give you an advice:
You have already failed. Stop the project right there, it's doomed. Even if you were John Carmack or some guy from Blizzard, you would probably fail, you underestimate the difficulty and effort by a hundred times.
Try to create a different game instead, I suggest a sidescroller or something like Pong/ Ploing.
What's the point of your post anyway? It's very likely that someone will make fun of you in the next 60 minutes.

I'm not sure if I will fail or succeed in what I'm doing. This will be the greatest challenge that I have ever faced.

Since I'm to sick to hold a normal job I've got nothing else better to do and my eye sight may be completely gone by the age 40 (I'm 27 now).

Building a great game is my childhood dream and if I don't get started now then I may never get another chance. That's why I will pour all of my talents and abilities into this game.

Even though I've learned much about Game Studio A7 I still don't know everything.

When I built 2 large hollowed cubes & assigned a different sky texture to each one, it would show only the first added sky texture on both hollowed cubes when the level was ran.

Can you have more than one sky-box each with a different sky texture?
Thanks.

Superku is right, this project will undoubtedly fail. Upon hearing of your condition I must say that I pity you and wish you the best. Nonetheless, you should really consider making a game that you will be able to get into a working state before you lose your sight. A less ambitious game does not necessarily equate to a worse game overall. Some of the most famous/fun games known to the world, such as Mario, Plants vs. Zombies, and Minecraft, are built on very simple concepts and designs.


Yes, but due to the way sky blocks work in Gamestudio you will have to manage this by script.

I don't mind doing it by script.
Thanks for the reply.

I'm sure that I'll have more questions later but for now I will continue to build away.

Just Do it then.

But to do it, you need to make another game first.
Thats called the leaning curve.
Else you WILL fizzle around picky details very soon
without getting the core components propperly working.

You need to plan your own motivation and experience curve
to stem a bigger project.
And thats where you need a smallscaled project to
learn about rendering, gameplay, codearchitecture and
an efficient Artwork-workchain.

Too all.

Please only judge my talents & skills after I have posted screen-shots. I know that I'm only one person but I truly believe that I am capable.

Thanks and please continue to reply to questions as it helps allot.

Am I the only one who is having deja vu?
Good luck anyway..

First of all: good luck!

But as a RTS fan, I can tell you it is more difficult than making a simple shooter, where you mostly have to deal with the level design (enemy behaviour is generally not too complex).

For example, what AI system do you plan to use for dynamic pathfinding and decision making? It normally requires good map decomposition into usable data structures for managing buildings, developing technologies, and strategic and battle army/unit command.

So first start with a simple game, and you will see what you need for further developments...
