Lucid Dream Game Idea

**Gr8God** · 03-12-2011 10:48 AM

Hmm Great Idea
If I do become a game developer this will surely be on top of the list

Know any HTML? We could put it on a table on the dream journal system.

Yea, I know some HTML. I've tried working with <BR> but that didn't work. Do I just need to use brackets instead of < and > tags? Well, let me just try it! [BR]Voici

Not so much.

<BR> just creates a new line.
You want <TD> and <TR>

Shadow27,
Please take a look at the page now. LD Game Team Ideas

See my challenge?

**Rawracookie** · 03-12-2011 06:48 PM

HTML Code:

<TABLE>
<TR><TH>Programmers</TH><TH>Graphics</TH></TR>
<TR><TD>Shadow27</TD><TD>mcguinnessdr</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>MadMonkey</TD><TD>Likestotrip</TD></TR>
</TABLE>

[ HTML ] code [ HTML ]

HTML is a myth. >.<

Alternatively, you can link to another HTML page from there instead.

**The Sandman** · 03-12-2011 06:49 PM

What is the easiest way to view all responses to the Game Ideas page? I can only find the front page.

**Rawracookie** · 03-12-2011 06:54 PM

I don't see any comments as well.

I could, but Shadow27 recommended we use the DJ system, so I decided to go with it. I can keep adding to an HTML table easily enough. I want to learn how to do it here anyway. Any ideas on fixing this? It still didn't work.

It looks like the Dream Journal system won't parse the html. We could try just simple text
or actually get an html page

I prefer a table for aesthetics, but a linear format isn't going to confuse anyone. Let's just keep it simple stupid. I'll do it in simple text.

Yea, with nine column headings...I don't want to think about kludgy work-arounds. I'm just going to make a list of team members on the front page. I'm more interested in figuring out why I can't see replies.

Its because we can't reply. You need to make a post so that we can. Right now its an empty dream journal

I would love to help with advertising and writing. PM me if you would like my contribution.

Also I was wondering if this will be like a more realistic game or a cartoon type game?

**MadMonkey** · 03-13-2011 09:20 PM

Don't make the game in blender!!! I love blender and it's an excelent 3G molding and animating tool but the game engine is not nearly up to par. It is very hard to do anything good with and I don't know how we would even publish it. Some people have been able to make some really good stuff with it but it could be done 9001 times easier in unity 3d. Also blender uses python only which is easy to learn but unity uses JavaScript, c and boo. BGE was just thrown into blender as an after thought and not even finished while unity is a very powerful free engine that has actual produced some very successful games. Just my experience with using blender game engine then switching to unity. I still think we should use blender for molding and animating though

**Shadow27** · 03-13-2011 10:36 PM

I'll try unity then.

No but I know what it is.

**BobbyLance** · 03-20-2011 06:15 AM

is this for real? or you'll do it in the dreamland?

The desire is real. Motivation is up to the programmers and writers. From there, marketing and music will take on a life of their own.

**KingYoshi** · 03-20-2011 10:07 AM

I have been doing some brainstorming over the passed few days. I'm going to compile some general plot ideas when I get the chance, and run them by you guys. See what everyone thinks. It is hard to start designing maps/levels without an idea of the plot, so I figured I would start there. I also plan on doing some, "in dream" design once I get a good idea of a map/level. I will use actual lucid dreams to create the levels/maps. That way the game won't only be inspired by lucid dreams, it will literally BE a lucid dream in video game format.

**BluffDaddy** · 03-20-2011 02:43 PM

I know a little C++ (Classes and OOP) still a newbie though, and would love to help out if its not to late, ill also be learning java over the summer.
