Hi I am currently working on a game console, Would anybody be intrested in making games for it, I should be done by 2008 or 2009 depends. I just want to see who would want to create games for it, I plan to just charge for development software which I will create these are just plans so far.

The Phantom-2?

no not the phantom-2 but I am making a console called yeti console. I should be done by 2008 or 2009, however I want to know if you guy's would like to make games for it, you would need 200 us bucks for the payment for the software which is same kinda stuff what 3dgamestudio offer's but I created it for the game console it's all in my scirpt, and it gives you a level maker, a model maker and a scripter with a command database and comes with a tutor me software, which it explains all functions in the console that is possible ect. after you buy the software you then would need to pay 30 bucks extra when you want to sell the games you make for the game console, you just need to pay 30 bucks just one time thier is no monthly thing once you pay 30 bucks you can make games for the console as long your company's name dosen't change.

You must be joking.

Some people do have a rich fantasy life.


Hey, I've got bridges in every major city for sell! only 200 bucks each!

Tee hee hee hm sounds a little overly ambitious aaron, unless you were part of a large, well funded company. But then again i met the key guy who designed the guts of the 3DO, and he was a one-brain developer behind most of the technology, so it's not far-fetched for one person to design hardware. But the difference was he had money, they had a full engineering department management, and a real company behind him, and not to mention he was brilliant.

The idea of porting to XBox-Live Arcade is really attractive. I wonder how hard it would be to rewrite a bunch of c-script code to work in Torque. I imagine if someone has their levels designed entirely in a 3D app outside of WED (say maya or max) it probably wouldn't be too hard to transition over to Torque-- assuming they have the same kind of commands like trace, move, rotate..

Maybe if/when my game is finished and looks/works well, I could scrape up the money to paying someone to re-write the code for Torque. It'd be best if Conitec could just port A6 themselves. Though I don't think the 3DGS demographic really has strong enough demand to make it worth Conitec's while.

But then again, taking a chance to port the engine to X-Box 360 would probably attract more professional and semi-professional developers to A6, so it would probably change the demographic itself, and be a very worthwhile decision-- especially if the xbox live license came as an additional $300-800 licensing fee on top of the pro edition.... (ooh!! but I wouldn't want to pay it, personally)

I've always thought that PC->Xbox ports would be relatively easy since they rely on the same technology (don't they?) like Direct-X? I wonder how different a PC and the XBOX really are? I can't imagine it being too hard.

Bye!

The problem is, as stated many times in this thread, that you can't just call MS and say you want to buy a license(of course you could if you offered an outrageous amount of money, but thats another story...). You have to either be an established developer with a good record or have a game in the making that MS really want on their console.
