Making a game?

[Rumpe]

Hey, i want to make a game. The game will be like this.

 

 

You are a prisoner and then you will have to brak out of the prison and the map will be really big. And there will be guards that will try to stop you from breaking out of the prison. But im kinda new to this game making. But i dont know if this engine will work for my game. And i dont know how i would get the textures for the jail door and the guards.

 

Please let me know if you know away

Hi Rumpe,

 

Sounds like a nice game concept and it is certainly doable in Leadwerks. Leadwerks can pretty much make any genre of game so you are good.

• Since you are starting out with game development I would first start by making a rough layout of the prison with CSG brushes. This can be done in the editor and can give you a nice indication of the level design. Be sure to check out the tutorials: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/tutorials/_/constructive-solid-geometry-r2
  
• Textures are either made by yourself, a teammate or you look on the web for free/commercial packages. You can check out the workshop materials or texture section. There are various free textures packs available: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/workshop?tags=Material&queryType=1&fileType=0
  
• You can drag in the player prefab to start walking around in your scene. See this tutorial: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/tutorials/_/fps-character-controller-r23
  
• For the guards, you would require a model with animations. For starters you can make do with the crawler prefab. See this tutorial: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/tutorials/_/ai-pathfinding-and-events-r28

Thanks AggorJorn for the help.

 

I will try my best to make this game.

 

I have a friend who know how to model but i have no idea how to do it. But i will try to find as much royalty free stuff as possible. But im worid about pathfinding and how the ai will react. For example if i hide behind a box i dont want them seeing me. Just a small example.

 

Thanks again

I would start of as simple as possible right now. First go through all the tutorials and make sure that you understand how the editor works. When you are done with the official tutorials, start mapping out the level design of your game.

 

I wouldn't worry about the pathfinding untill you get there. That said, the editor has an integrated navmesh generator which is used for pathfinding. The standard AI script on the crawler should would be a great place to start. It already does a lot of the things you probably want. For help on adjustments you can always ask on the forum. But first try out the editor.
