Thefinalboss123 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 So I was thinking yesterday if there was a gamemaker app for Droid to my surprise there wasn't but if there was do you think it would be efficient in any way (maybe even an app for iPhone or better yet window phones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streak Thunderstorm Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 NO. Games have been casualized to death. DO NOT casualize the creation of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECLIPSc70 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 NO. Games have been casualized to death. DO NOT casualize the creation of them. I agree and disagree. Game design is a form of art and there are some people who do it just to pass the time. I'd rather an app like that not be made mainly because I feel that game maker (and other programs such as mmf2, unity and the likes) is a bit too complex.

MMF2 is the EASIEST of all the creation programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kessler12 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Game development programs as an app would fail. Now if where talking about an ipad... naw it would be too complex. Only rpgmaker should stick with it, seeing that they have a DS version of it already. But before I say anything about development, what about sprites and models? You'll may want to stick to a pc. Drawings a bi**h on a touch screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I'm sorry, a game maker app where you do the development on Android? That's fucking retarded. It's hard enough making games when you are at a desktop with six monitors all in portrait mode allowing you to stare into your code like a God from the sky while being able to punch out 180 words per second on a high end keyboard and move from one of a screen to another in an instant with extreme precision and grace on a fancy ass mouse. I can't even imagine how horrible it would be to try and do all of this on a 4.3 inch telephone where you have to type everything on a worthless on-screen keyboard which cuts your total viewing size to more like 2 inches.

DJ espeed Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hilarious? I'm afraid I see nothing funny about DW's post. If you're doing serious development, then a mobile device is NOT the optimal solution for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I think technology would make able to develop an eventual version of GameMaker even for a smartphone, nobody's gonna make it. What's the point in making games for money if everyone can make it easily? I've just made a sentence that enters in conflict with myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather an app like that not be made mainly because I feel that game maker (and other programs such as mmf2, unity and the likes) is a bit too complex. You see, anyone can draw or paint but only the people who put in hours of work and do extensive research actually do it well. I feel like if you make game creation easy, it'll take away from how powerful it is. To paint or draw, you still need to physically do something. You have to spend the amount of time necessary for your piece for it to be finished. Having a game creation program on a mobile device would have to make it SUPER EASY mode because its sort of impossible to make anything good on something so small. You can even see it right here at our home, SFGHQ. There are tons of engines with most of the work done for people already but there are hardly any finished games. Most people either give up... or take a really long time to do it. Its because good things require time. I doubt you're going to sit with your mobile device for 16 hours a day coding a character's movement. Its just something that cant be done too casually.

Aaron C-T Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Woah, woah, woah- RPGMaker does DS games? When in the world did this happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanGameRevolver Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 RPG maker has always had console versions bro. I have a version on my PS2. Of course the console versions are gigantic pieces of shit compared to the PC versions. Most notably due to the sharing/Memory/and other various hardware limitations and Not a lot of copies of them exist. In fact I see it as a solid example why a portable game making app will never get popular. Also. holy shit I have so many god damn windows open when Im working on a project. I don't have room for all of it on an HD computer screen let alone something that fits in my pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
