I need a map designed for me and it's to have:
A sahara like region
A jungle
Snowy mountain region
A desert (with canyons)
Tropical islands
Rivers
Lakes

If not is there a link someone can provide to place that designs maps

Exactly what do you need these maps for?

» Sat May 28, 2011 6:04 pm

Dibs if it's a treasure map.
Also.. like, what kind of map? 3D Game level map? Paper map?

A paper map
I need it because I'm thinking of designing a video game and thought I'd start with the gameworld

I was doing the same. I designed tthe map, story and everything. I started doing the game, sound and design for characters, then I realized "i don't have enough experience in ruby programming for this". then dropped it.

You should've kept with it...

I wanted to. I really did. I thought I had an excellent story. I even bought a hard cover note book to take down ideas. Looking back at it, its a huge mess, where i'v scratched stuff out, squeezed stuff in, and made changes. But I didn't have any experience with ruby, do make the story come alive as it was on paper. Even if I had started learning it back then, I still probably wouldn't have enough experience to make it work like I wanted it to lol.

NinjaFish, meet 5c3j9r7productions. Find yourself a programmer, and get to work on making us a game!

I have done a few times, really very amateurish. I made a Morrowind mod out of some of them, but the project got to big while my studies took over. That and my computer started slowing. When I get my new one I might take it up again. It is great fun, building your own little world.

Lol
I have even started to think about programming yet
I'm just going to get my ideas down on paper

I hope you don't run into what I ran into. Where you will need quite a bit of experience in programming to make even the simplest things work how you want them to lol.

I have no experience in programming, I'm just a guy with an idea

Ah. Any plans yet on what you're going to use to make the game?

» Sat May 28, 2011 12:43 pm

No do you any suggestions for beginners?

For object based game making, if your going RPG. You can try RPG Maker VX. Thats the only object based game design tool i'v heard of. But I never paid attention outside of that.

Well it isn't really an RPG
But I'll check it out...

» Sat May 28, 2011 7:10 pm

Ok, that's not what I want
Maybe I'll get lucky submitting my idea to Rockstar

You will probably be looking at buying actual pre-designed game kits that most free MMO's use these days. Where you create and add your own textures, designs and build your own game. They just sell you the engine, which most of which are object based. They usually allow for wide-scale compatability for importing your own stuff, however you still need programming experience to have anything in the world work.

Is this an in-game map you need or a topographical map for programming with?

» Sat May 28, 2011 8:36 pm

Darn!

» Sat May 28, 2011 9:39 am

@jagar
Just an in game map

» Sat May 28, 2011 7:06 pm

I tried learning C++ once. Furthest I got was 'Hello World'. Then I got really bored.

If you decide to make a game, and you need someone to create something similar to a 'Hello World' program, I'm your man.

:thumbsup:

Actually, designing a world sounds fun. I'm going to maybe think about that. Depends if I can find the motivation to do it.

What's hello world?
