Is it possible to make a game SIMILAR to Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion? If yes, is there any tutorials to make it or can someone just tell me some basics I need to do/learn if I'm starting to make one?


Thanks.

Ps. If it's not possible, I'll propably just stick with Diablo styled game.. smile

Everything is possible. The question is if you will have the time as a sole person to do it laugh

That's good to hear... Well I might not have much time but I do have enough willpower to learn some c scripting and other stuff.. I already know how to include something in the main script! crazy (Still I can't even make a moving character without copy/paste :D)

I am already thinking about how to make the weapons system work (equiped items and so on...) and I'm totally out smile

Have a look to the credits chart of oblivion...

What do you see there? Right a really great list of names, all working on that game for over 4 years. Famous publishers were spending a lot of money into that project as well.

Michael Schwarz is right, you might be able to do it with GS, but if you are alone and don't have 10 Million US$ to waste, you won't finish it in the next 40 years. Of course you can say: I am not talking about the dimension and grafic levels of oblivion just about the style and feeling of the gameplay, but then also think about what is making oblivion the game it is: Grafic level, and freedom of choice and movement. Both things, you won't achieve alone for sure.

But to many time for a lot a error (animations by sample)
I think is possible and make much better inclusive alone

but I need to go to the work or stay with my wife
if not with 12 hours at day or more

I think the publisher waste the money and the workers not work all the time in the production of the games

If so, why dont they use 3dgs ( or Unity or C4..) instead of paying hundreds thousand usd for a game engine ?

Just because something is possible it doesn't mean that it is recommendable.

Are u serious , for one if you are posting in the starting with gamestudio, i would assume you have no experience with the engine or game design, and also to make a game like oblivion would take a proffesional (on his own) about 5-6 years , unless they work on it 24/7. If i was you i would start with a small project , maybe find the RPG template and make your own small RPG , do this to get experience.
