Do you want to create a game from scratch of create Mods for an existing game engine?

If want to create Mods for an existing 3D game/game engine I can help by providing a bit perspective on what I've been working on.

Say you want to create your first 3D 3rd-person action game for the pc. You have many many years of programming experience in a variety of language, and even more years of experience with graphic illustration, but don't know which of the various developer tools are ideal for the task (I'm sure they all have their individual strengths and weaknesses). I own a few 3-D CAD modeling applications, but they tend to be overly technical (more so than the professional tools I use at work) and I'm guessing the file format wouldn't be compatible with a game.

Well, first if it can export to .obj files it can probably be compatible with any 3D software package. Sometimes you hear about little gridbugs here and there, but it's usually fixable. Your CAD3D software might also export to the native formats so you may be luckier than you think.


What's a good program for creating characters and vehicles, and why? (BTW, discard sprites - coming from a CAD background, I'm totally sold that 3D objects are the best way to go for what I want to accomplish.)

Autodesk Maya 3D, 3DS Max, and Blender 3D are up your alley. I have experience in both Blender 3D and Maya. All three are great software programs. Maya 3D and 3DS Max are the best commercial packages for creating characters and vehicles because they have a lot of functionality. The latest versions of the two are expensive but at least you'll get all the benefits of better ease of use. If you don't want to burn your cash on those two for now get Blender 3D because it has all the functionality and support of a professional package without the price tag. When learning to use the programs once you get used to the UI it's all clear skies from then on.

What's a good language for coding the game, and why?

Most game programmers now-a-days seem to use C++ for everything. I guess it's good because of the fact most people take it as the norm now. People still use other languages though...I'm sure if you have experience already it won't be a problem. As for me, I've been wanting to take Assembler classes.

What's the black magic involved with artificial intelligence? Few pc games seem to have it past ADS (attention deficeit) and the hardware is more powerful than the arcade games of yesteryear.

Oh boy, if I could only explain...instead here's a website that might do a better job:

Another note before you go. You will also need a Game Engine to put together your new game(Unless you want to program one yourself ). Here's the
wiki link:Game_Engine

There a link to a list of game engines near the end for you to check out. That way you can figure out which one for a FPS would work best for you.

All I know about DarkBasic is that this was made with it:

This is what re-motivated me to take my game idea out of the dusty closet in my brain and see about finishing the game. That game is very nicely done but falls short in a few places that I would have done differently or better. (I wish I could see the source code for this game. Not to copy or pirate, just to see how it was done. In my opinion, it's the best lightcycle game on the net, and I've downloaded all that are available.)
