Auchtung! Gameboy Advance Game Development Team Members Needed! Thread

Ãhoy there! I'm currently working on a project.
It's a Gameboy Advance Game called: Metroid [something].
It's coding will be developed in C++. Here's what ppl I need:

Coding - C++ skills needed
Website Artist - Pictures for the website
Game Artist - Sprites & backgrounds for in-game, which we convert into C++ code
Sounder - Sounds for in-game, which we convert into C++ code
Music - Music for in-game, which we convert into C++ code

And maybe more.

I REALLY hope that this ISN'T a project which after 5 lines of code, we quit.

If you're interested mail me at coolz@kabel.netvisit.nl
Or msn me at coolz@kabel.netvisit.nl

isnt metroid fusion already out for the game boy advance? and are you making an actual game for the gba?

Like I said b4, a actual game for the gba. Just compile all to a .bin file and copy it to a cardridge using Flash Advance.

Hmm, I asked for copyright and recieved this mail:

So it doesn't have to be a Metroid game, maybe something else. Not copyrighted.

Now whats a game that nintendo's forgotten...

OOH! MOLE PATROL! MAKE MOLE PATROL ADVANCE!

WTF is Mole Patrol???

Some mini-game on the Super Nintendo Super Scope 6 demonstration cartridge.

Bah, Nintendo will find out ¬_¬'

they might, or the might not...

dunno how your gonna sell it though, or distribute it

make a new Dizzy game... Ninty dont hold the rights to it, neither do Codemasters anymore so no-one would really care.

If you dont know what Dizzy is then you desrve to die... know wait a minute, that is pretty harsh isnt it. erm, check this site and you can find some FULL dowloadable PC Dizzy adventures:
www.yolkfolk.com (click on 'download games' and then scroll down to 'PC', I recommend Magicland Dizzy)

As you will ba able to tell Dizzy has a simple control system, simple game mechanics. And shouldnt be too difficult to code.

oh yeah I forgot to mention... Dizzy ROCKS

That is a GREAT idea! And with no copyrights on it (i will check for sure) we could make Dizzy Advance

EDIT: Oh great I deserveD to die ¬_¬'

EDIT2: It has the good sprites/backgrounds to make it. I'm positively sure it can run in 240x160 pix
and no sounds and music (for me), we could make our own music/sounds

EDIT3: Who made it? From what developer was it originally distributed?

erm, it was deleoped by the oliver brothers (Andrew and Philip)

published by codemasters

and the original was released in 1986 on the ZX spectrum

or you could make something original

but its obviousy a learning experience for the guy so having a simple yet brilliant game as reference seems logical, for him to get to grips with GBA programming.

and then, move onto something original.

Besides I want to play a new Dizzy game its 9 years overdue

No. Make a Cannon Fodder!

Would be cool if you made a cannon fodder, but Advance wars would probably rape it.

Maybe if you mixed the gameplay styles somehow.

meh, anyone feel like helping?
maybe i can put u in my team

I'll help. Only if u make Dizzy. AND if you can present me with some kind of early proof that you can actually do this

-I have no coding knowledge, so assumably coding would be your job.

-I have fountains of ideas for scenarios and puzzles for a Dizzy Game.

-I would like to work on making the sprites for the characters (dont have enough time for backgrounds as well)

PM me if your interested
