  • Well, working with (visual) programs is easier for me, compared to learning programming.

    Okay, thanks ^^

  • [quote:224oc2er]You should remove this detailed description of the game from public access.. Someone might want to steal your idea.

    Well, basically at least half of my data comes from a phone app (game), so the idea ain't mine alone.

    I have "just" added new stuff I'd like to play with.

    Therefore I don't feel too worried about stealing.

    [quote:224oc2er]So this will be a text based game? Lots of text, number, buttons, lists, dice and some static images?

    Probably. I am not 100% aware of game types, and what functions the types have within.

    Dices ain't necessary. I just wrote it as a way to deal with randomness the game mechanics offer. One can use number generator too - or in this case, I think the game would choose a random event itself from the event list available, right?

    [quote:224oc2er]Construct 2 may not be the best tool for this kind of game. But you can still make it in C2 if you want.

    Well, I asked for suggestions in /r/gamedev (Reddit), and one person suggested that I could try my idea out within Construct 2.

    If I may say, you can give me any suggestions for any other tool, which could be more "powerful" for the goals I am searching for, if you know any.

    I may wish that it's easy to use/learn though, as I don't have skills in gamemaking.

    [quote:224oc2er]You need to think about how you are going to organize and store all the data.

    I have no idea. These mechanics are not familiar to me.

    But I'll look into the info you gave me.

    [quote:224oc2er]Install CSV plugin - you'll definitely need it.

    Wanna tell me more about CSV? What is it?

    ---

    I think that everywhere, not just in games, you do/implement one thing by one. Adding a little of everything asap would end up in total chaos.

    I could start with trade.

    Thanks for the reply!

  • Greetings!

    I love games. I have spent hundreds of hours in them, at least. RPG and Strategy are probably my favorites, but sandboxes, FPS and others work too.

    I play only PC.

    Since 2017, I have started to dream about game ideas. Games I would like to see being made.

    Few ideas I have written down (spreadsheets), most of them has passed into Oblivion.

    I was thinking about passing my ideas to others with skills, but I have no money for such stuff and I really don't know, would anyone be interested in such stuff anyway. Thus I started trying playing around myself instead.

    I have even played a bit around with Java and Unity, but I can't say I am even a newbie with those. My interest has always died out quickly before reaching anything dramatic in my dreams.

    Today I decided to give a new chance. I asked around and was led to Construct 2 after showing my biggest spreadsheet idea about a game.

    So...let's hope I get something done this time? *weak smile*

  • Greetings!

    I have a spreadsheet about a game I want to make.

    I asked around, what I could do to make it an (automatic) game, and they suggested me to try out Construct 2, so here I am.

    I want to share the data with you to better help me out:

    docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d

    (copy both lines to get the link working)

    To my questions:

    1. Starting a new project opens the template selection window. I scrolled through most of it, but nothing hit me in the eye with a label "YES, THIS IS WHAT I NEED" on it. Which template should I pick up for my upcoming project?

    2. Then what?

    I obviously need buttons in my game, likely lists too. What else? What do I need to keep in mind? What could I do?

    Thanks!

    EDIT: After wondering, how to get my spreadsheet link working, I cut it in two.
