Dude Development game programming site

Hi everyone, it''s christmas and so I''m in the right mood to announce something to you : I''m running a site dedicated to the development of a game called "Tank Wars 2130". Here''s the about : <<< ABOUT >>> Tank Warfare 2130 is conceived as a multiplayer online game featuring detailed 3D arenas where up to 32 players can compete against each other in different game modes such as Deatchmatch, Capture the Flag and other by using their highly modulable science-fiction battle tanks. Every player has one of 29 different military ranks with some of them only reachable when the player is part of a clan. There will be several scripts that will allow every player to access and display his statistic on his own fanpage. Clans will be provided with easy to use scripts to access clan game information such as the member list and clan statistics. It is planned to be highly modulable. This means that the different components of the game are easily updateable and new elements can be added by simply putting a new DLL into a given game folder. This doesn''t only include the engine elements and the game modes but also every single module used for the tank configuration and the tanks themselves. And the best is : This will all be available for you for FREE ! Yes, you didn''te read wrong ! All this will be provided to you for free. Nothing to pay. No subscription fee, nothing to buy ! How is that ? Well, I, Stefan Maton, have been working in the game development industry for the last seven years and I have contributed to the development of some of the most interesting games coming from Germany. I recently had to switch to the ''serious'' software development but my heart is still with game development. I wanted to create a game that is both fun to develop and appealing to play. Due to different factors, I don''t see how I could sell my game to a publisher and develop it as a professional game developer. I won''t talk about those reasons but you simply have to know that this isn''t just another hobby game to be developed. Together with the visitors of this site, I''ll go through every stage of game development. From the game design document to the architecture design and the concept of beta testing processes, from engine considerations to tool development and 3rd party middleware considerations. I''ll show you which stages are necessary to conceive, implement and distribute a game online. Don''t get fooled : This is no ''Do it all in 2 weeks'' effort. The project is quite ambitious and different elements are hard to realize... but this doesn''t mean that it is impossible to do ! <<< About >>> Here''s the link to my site : Dude Development Feel free to come over and make your comments... Merry christmas and happy new year, Metron
