MSC Malaysia Game Design Competition 2006

The Creative Multimedia Department of Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) is organizing a Computer Game Design Competition. In this competition, teams or individuals will have to pitch their idea and pre-production of their animated characters, the story, the game play and eventually details information of the game.

OBJECTIVE:
. To use this as a content creation platform and to create more quality content that can be showcased or marketed globally.
. The competition will be an avenue to encourage and nurture new talents in turning their Ideas into reality.
. To attract game content developers/publisher to come out with greater ideas and stories.

3 winners will be awarded RM50,000 grant each, to fully develop a playable electronic game based on the given budget.

Submission will be open until 1st of December 2006. MDeC will be organizing workshops in the month of November 2006 for the benefit of interested participants. These workshops will help budding game developers to have a better understanding of the requirements needed to develop a game within the allocated budget. These workshops will also help participants come up with strong proposals for the eventual pitch.

got back to www.gameprogramming.org.

it says spring sessions starts at 15 January. Does that means that I can only start learning from 15 January onwards even though I register now?

Greetings to those who want to do more than just play games

I have been maintaining my own personal blog for quite a while now, but I have decided to open a blog that challenges hardcore gaming to make game mechanics more adaptable to the mainstream market. Here's the link:

Nice resource you guys have.

Do you guys know any source to create java mobile game?

Kindly add here. Thanks!!

say anyone know any game coding? coz i have this wicked idea for a game but have no idea how to make it a game. I can model and animate but I cant handle programming. It makes me sleep. I'm currently thinking of modding this into GTASA. If anyone has spare time, please tell me how plausible is the making of a game similiar to this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsAFSBc45Cg

I just watched this and figured that itd be a great game to make

My only experience in game making is modding GTA vice city where I simply added a few buildings into it.

I believe making a giant airport with massive runways and jumps is easily done with some modelling.

I however would like to know how easy it is to make the following

1) mild airplane physics

going over jumps make you glide a little and when you land from a jump, it looks like a real airplane landing (10 degree nose up, main gear touches runway first, spoilers up, flaps down) and when continuing racing , plane goes back into normal taxi position and spoilers and flaps retract.


when braking, thrust reversers activate and engine cowlings retract

when turning, animation of control surfaces depending on direction of turn
(eg: to turn left, engines on leftside of the plane activates thrust reversers , rudder on tailplanes turn to left, spoilers on left wing deployed, and right wing untouched)

when turning, there would be some rotation around the planes fuselage simulating suspension of sorts

slow acceleration enough to be plane-like but not enough to be boring

2) incorporating sounds according to speed

engine RPM sounds increases until really high pitched.

3) wind vortices or smoke trailes coming from selected points of the wing during high speeds

4) addition of a hangar-like area with planes facing outwards parked in them. your character uses a car to travel from one hangar to another to select a plane. entering huge planes are done via ramps into the rear plane door

5) airport races are started via traditional gta markers

6) whats the challenge in coding AI pilot racers?

7) different planes with different handling characteristics

8) rammable airport traffic (stairway trucks, refuelling trucks, busses)

and whats the limit of new buildings that I can add or replace for any GTA game?

I'm currently thinking all the raceable planes being huge lumbering commercial airliners

thats all i can think of now. please tell me if its possible to make this. if there are easier games to mod to fit these features name them too. Thanks

Thanks for the info!!

Anyone here actually graduated from a Game Programming Degree Program and having a steady job?

Steady job in the games industry or any field will do?

I know a lot of my seniors have steady job and some even make it to the games industry. Anyway, your question and my answers doesn't really reflects to whether someone taking games related course will have a future career or not.

Added heterosapiens' link to the front page.

Wow, its been awhile since this thread have a visitor that post.

For audio programming, I'm not so sure about it. But this is what google gets me.

http://www.thefreecountry.com/documentatio...linesound.shtml
http://www.thefreecountry.com/sourcecode/audio.shtml

Or you could check out these books.

Beginning Game Audio Programming - Mason McCuskey
Focus On SDL - Ernest Pazera


I'm not sure what happened to gameprogramming.org their website is down as of the time of this post made.


If you plan to use a 3D game engine (or 3D rendering engine sort of like) for that, I would suggest either these two

http://www.ogre3d.org/
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/

Ogre seems to have more active community and the future for the game engine is very bright but it is not the complete API to create a game. On the contrary Irrlicht is more complete together with sound API(IrrKlang) but have less promising development path.

All the best

Anyone know where to study part time course for game creation/3d modelling + animating/game design etc? Cause im a working person =\...still wanna wider my knowledge and bring myself into gaming industry.

thanks for the info.

i'll try to find out more info .

regards,

Well, im a working person too and dont want to be doing what im doing now for the rest of my life.......it would be nice a way to do something that i like really alot....

Ive actually looked around and cant seem to find any place that offers part time course........Im really interested.....At the moment, the only place that I've been hearing about that looks interesting is FullSail......but this is an american institution......
