I'm creating my own Spyro game myself using gamemaker, sadly it has nearly been put to rest due to low interest. I know nothing about C++, sorry!

Well, I would like an image for the first level for the level selection menu. Also, The resolution for the game has not been decided on, nor has the frame rate.

Here is the full instructions and suggestions regarding it: The first level is in the Temple. The image needs to be a bmp file. The size can be what ever you want, but I would like it if it was 1/4 the size of the game's resolution. As to what the resolution is, what size backgrounds do you feel like doing? The image can be done as a slide show (animated) if you feel like drawing multipule slides.

I have good news, an outline for what has been done on the story has been posted on my forum. Check it out. A link to my forum can be found in the first post.

Update on progress of the program: collision testing (e.g. making sure you do not go though the ground) is ready. Now working on attacks.

It's great to see a fangame actuallly being worked on around here. I've found your tutorials to be good in helping me teach myself C++. And thanks to my previous Visual Basic classes in my school I am able to translate some of the functions into laymans terms.

What I mean is: REM in VBA is = to // in C++. They are both comment functions that have no change in the program. They're simply there to make a note of that particular part of the prgm.

Of course you know this, I just felt the need to give you an example of what I'm trying to say; I am horrible at expressing my thoughts -_-;.

Anyways, keep up the good work mate. It gives hope to some of us forum lurkers.

I'm trying to work up the nerve to attempt a fangame in 3D. Nothing big. Just a level or two to get the feel of it.

Plus I have no idea how to put my artwork into 3D. Sure it looks nice on paper but the part that kills me is putting it into the computer...>.<
