Another reason for making my progress public is a self discipline thing.

It's much harder for me to quit if I know that allot of people are watching.

Therefor I'm pushing myself much harder to succeed in what I'm doing to avoid embarrassment.

Above all other things once this game is finished, it will show how skillful I am at building my first game with Game Studio A7 & lite-c programming.

You should think a little before posting :
You say you target SC2 graphics or better , than you say :
" This game will be far above standard. "

Well , what do you mean by standard ? there is any standard !
There are big games, indie games, between that, amateur games
amateur looking pro etc ....
Standard means nothing ....

I can also say i can do better characters that Uncharted 3.
it's just words.
That's too easy to say : "I can do best than X ..."


Instead : STOP COMPARING witg standard or other games !
Forget them, and JUST SHOW US WHAT YOU CAN DO :
SCREENSHOTS !

--------------

There is no space RTS game made with 3D game Studio; so sure
it will be easy to be the best even with bad graphics and gameplay ???



"I'll push myself as far as i can etc ..."
Ok that's cool, you don't need to repeat that you have motivation.

You should be lot more constructive if you talked about coll things on your game like scripting , 3D assets making , solutions you've found etc ...
and .... SCREENSHOTS !!

Anyone know of any good royalty free sound effect websites?

I'm not lacking music. Just sound effects.

Thanks.

freesound.org

Hahaha, sorry, you´ve absolutely no clue.

Well....

I've never claimed to know everything.

Regardless of how the game turns out, I fully intend for it to be one of the best ones out there because "we will always need new and better games", "we all want to experience new things".

I admit that I may not reach my 2 or 3 month development goal but that will not effect the outcome of the game.


By aiming for better graphics then SC2, the project will look much better.


This is my way of squeezing every ounce of creativity out of myself (even on the first game).

I've always demanded nothing but perfection from myself on every project that I've ever worked on.




You don't know how much I fear that happening. To prevent such an event I perform full testing after each small change or adding of lite-c code.

I also create many backup's while I'm programming.

Testing in form of unit-tests or testing by just clicking run in SED? Because the former one works, the other one doesn't...
Btw, I merged all your posts, please edit your previous post if you have something to add within 24 hours. Afterwards, maybe add a second post.

That's good to claim high your goals, ok !

Anyway it will be no way to verify if it was made space ships yourself or by some 3D artist for you ?? (some paid job)
So making best space ships is not that's hard if you have some money

Gameplay, 3D effects will be another issue for you not as easy as buying 3D ships models !

Your thread is a little borring really, i would like to see screenshots, gameplay, 3D ships models close and their textures and wireframe versions etc ...
