request Pony-Kart Team Needed

[Shadow Scoundrel 5]

I need a team to help make a game named Pony-Kart, i'm "picking up the rains" as it were, after the original group "died" (Link To Original Creators Site: http://ponykart.net/ ) The problem is, is that the original Game engine dose not work on my computer, so I can't work on it... But I have found a solution, using the Unity 4 Game Creator (is used to make games to go to Xbox 360, PS3, PC, and even Iphone [somepony made a slender game via Unity, and it has a "thing" (can't Remember what it is actually its called, a "Skin" maybe?) that makes it look like MLP but 3d, I can do programming and such (not saying you guys can't help me on that subject, but music, sound effects, track design and basically everything else (Not a great sales pitch, I know...). This is going to be a community effort! Not just myself but (At least) 5,000+ want this game to be a reality! So Please Help!!!

And to top it all off Its going to be free once released (Don't Know about PS3 or 360 but Iphone and PC will Definitely be free!)

I've got next to no ability in programming, but are there any other areas to help with?

[Shadow Scoundrel 5]

Yea, For Example Track Design (What the root of the tracks look like + Shortcuts) Costume Design (So you can customize your favorite pony.) Art (Track/Character Looks like) Or the Karts. Plus, I'm adding Create your own Pony, Create a Kart from the ground up. and a few other things that i have in mind, I don't know about custom characters/Karts, trying to figure this out as I go along...

You can use Google Sketchup for models 

if your going to send me models, send it to my google at copperanng@gmail.com

or anything for that matter

@@Shadow Scoundrel,

I can help you with the programming. What language is this going to be?

Also, i can come up with some track designs.

[Shadow Scoundrel 5]

English for starters, but will expand on other languages when the game is nearing completion.

Go here (Link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1qFQxTOE34HvkVgc-yVGIjG_OxPo9IVqkmgXeW4tYU4I/viewform) if you want to contribute to the project.

Well sign Up to the Project you send it to my e-mail at copperanng@gmail.com

What programming language is this going to be.

 

((the facepalm is for my own stupidity as i was not clear on what i meant.))

[Shadow Scoundrel 5]

The program is Unity 4, but still not knowing what your talking about...

I'm still quite new to the Game making, and doing it more as a side thing to my Episodic videos that I am working on as well. (witch I can put on hold for a wile and work on this)

the YouTube Channel that will be posting Updates to the Game is http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi9ratgtmZqYETIYy5wrQpg/feed?filter=2 First One wont be up for a wile because of making the game and all.

You don't know what programming language is?

[Shadow Scoundrel 5]

No, I don't, but like I have said

Including its my first Racing/Kart Game I have Made, since I do more Horror/First Person Shooters

And for those who have filled the form, I've shared the stuff with you.

[Shadow Scoundrel 5]

I am taking this one seriously, i'm just saying that past games i was just lazy and not caring, (Mainly for me to just screw around in) while this I'm going to take my time, and that I want this to be a community project, you know?

[Rokkurin 214]

@@Shadow Scoundrel, 

New or not. You should have a basic knowledge of some programming language. For example; Java, Visual Basic, C+, C++

 

Programming languages are what makes everything work. From a simple push of a button to a whole array of interactions and other stuff. Without this, nothing would work.

[Shadow Scoundrel 5]

Oh I know what your talking about now, wow... its C#.

Major Brain Fart, Just wow....

[Rokkurin 214]

Never heard of C#. Is it a newer version of C++?

[Shadow Scoundrel 5]

Thats my guess, I've double check to see if I didn't screw it up somehow but nope, C# is what it is so I don't know.

[FractalMoon 378]

It's a side project to C++ that's designed to be easily ported to visual C or anything else. It's used by the Unity ide and engine, and bears some similarity to other object-based languages (I.e. java)

[Shadow Scoundrel 5]

@FractaLuna Thank you for the explanation.

Again go to https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1qFQxTOE34HvkVgc-yVGIjG_OxPo9IVqkmgXeW4tYU4I/viewform to sign up to the project!

[FractalMoon 378]

No problem. As for the technical side of things, I'm going to hold off on signing up till you have a more fleshed out plan. As the previous team could tell you, real life is a harsh mistress with this sort of thing.

[Shadow Scoundrel 5]

@, All right, I'll be waiting for your response

The Basic Idea is Mario Kart but Pones Instead 

[Tech Pony 64]

There's already a team on over at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ponykart

 

Also of note is that ponykart is written in C# on top of Ogre, not Unity. There is some debate as to porting the current code base to another language to allow better cross platform support, though we don't have any definite answers one way or another yet. 

 

C# isn't really a side project of C++ either, It's Microsoft's answer to Java.

I'm being totally honest.  95% of these "projects" don't end up finished, even WITH people who know how to code.  Sorry, but I would be wasting my time helping.  You should develop your skills before attempting something of this magnitude.

 

Good luck!

[Tech Pony 64]

You're right in that aspect. They don't get finished, at least not in a timely manner. That is the price of being open source. 

[Shadow Scoundrel 5]

That docent mean i'm going to give up on it now dose it?

[Tech Pony 64]

why not just join us at ponykart.org ?

What about Android...? It's all I've got.

[Tech Pony 64]

Using Ogre3d with android would be hard to do, though according to documentation isn't impossible.
