Eaglecary Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Many people have ideas for making their own games but we want to get the point across to the big N. We aim to get enough people interested in the idea to proove to the big N that it would be of their best interests to make one and possibly even have a channel dedicated to it. All you need do is answer the simple question. (In the context of 'we' I mean 'me and my colleagues'): peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Maybe this would have been better in Wii Discussion since you're referring to Channels... Still, I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at as the opening post is pretty vague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Best way to get Nintendo or any publisher to take your game idea you need to make a prototype and then try and sell it it them (wear your lucky pants, you'll need them - most companies don't take ideas due to IP issues). Or am I completely not grasping this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I like to think its God trying to teach us that we must make our own games if we ever want to get into Nintendo heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need do is answer the simple question.(In the context of 'we' I mean 'me and my colleagues'): peace: Is there supposed to be a link provided? You mention you and your colleagues, which makes you think you're working on a project of some kind? Anyway, my answer to your question is yes. Whether or not that answers your question is something else, but to me, yes is a positive response and you seem like an OK guy. Don't want to hurt your feelings or anything.

Ganepark32 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 If I take the thread title literally, then I'd say yes, I have tried making my own games and failed. Terribly complex procedure trying to get an RPG up and running on a console which doesn't have dev kits and all you have is a basic engine. That and people wanting large sums of money to licence out their engines to you. Quit trying when someone wanted £1000 for an engine which is free to use and download. Presume that's what you were getting at. If not then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Yesterday I made a game with my friend that involved sachets of french and englihs mustard, vinegar and mayonnaise. It wasn't the full version of the game. Just a taster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aimless Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I would assume the original post is alluding to Nintendo rolling out a cross between XNA Community Games and a WYSIWYG interface so that Wii owners could create and distribute their own games; something along the lines of Microsoft's upcoming Kodu, I'd guess. In other words this is an obfuscated petition thread, or "lost cause" as I like to call them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj metroid Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 i think he is talking about having a channel dedicated so that ANYBODY can make games for it and display them on the channel... if you get me.. He wants to gather people to get an interest in it.. i think..

Chris the great Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 erm, going on what i think this was about... a wii version of little big plannet would be nice, obviously impossible due to exclusivity, but allowing players to design there own levels in a few different genres would be fun. making your own game is far to complex, going back to little big plannet, even using a very user friendly interface like that, designed for ease, its very easy to run into snags, and thats with the limitation of just platform games, given more freedom, there is more possibilty for error.

Shino Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I do nurture the idea of one day earning some side money by creating small projects for Live Arcade, Steam, Iphone store, etc... And maybe create my own "World of Goo". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
