Here's an idea:
Don't make it Liberty City.

I'm sick of New York settings in games, and I'm sure many others are too.

[NewGamesTeam]

Sorry, it'll be Liberty City. I just must complete it. Maybe I'll make a sequel but not now.

So I am the first one to be honest right here?
It looks pretty cheap and you'll never finish that (not trying to be a dick but telling you the outcome)
I know it's hard to hear that but someone has to be honest with you...
You are 13 and full of creative ideas (I know that feeling) but you have to realize that you are:

- too young to play a GTA game
- too young and unskilled to develop a GTA game
- only wasting your time

[NewGamesTeam]

I of course appreciate good comments, but I will not listen idiots like you. Sorry, but if you don't like it, just get the hell out of this thread. I don't understand people like you, who just like to hate someone.
And why is it a waste of time? I'm skilled (not much but fine) and even if I'm 13 years old, it doesn't mean anything. I think not many people can make something like this in the age of 13....
p.s. I want to ask, can you even create anything like this?

You're being a bit harsh, don't you think?

I understand that you feel like I want to bring you down but I just want to tell you how this will end in a nice way
Believe me if I say that I had to learn it the hard way with people really being harsh!
Everyone feels like he's going to make it and his ideas will work (and I'm the first one who would like to see you actually making it)
But experience told me a different story
Why do you think hundreds of people work 2 or more years on a GTA?
It would be too hard for a single person even if he was a great programmer and had a lot of experience

I was involved in some projects while being older than you (in one of them we were working in a team of about 12 persons and we gave up after 5 months because it's a hell lot of work)
Not to talk about several web pages I tried to create (being about as old as you are right now) which totally failed because I was simply too young!
I REALLY know it's hard to hear that but boy, you are only 13 years old don't get to worked up about this, you still have more than enough time to try something like this when you're a little bit older

I know that might sound harsh but compared to how I had to learn it (and pretty much everyone who tried something like this) it's as inoffensive as it could get

There is a big difference between constructive criticism and plain criticism. The only slight bit of constructive criticism i see in your post is that it looks cheap, I'm pretty sure NewGamesTeam knows that this wont be the next AAA title, but you do have to start somewhere Simply giving up isn't going to get you anywhere! Keep on pluggin is all i can add to this, if anything doing little projects like this and teaching yourself the basics will only help latter on if you wish to pursue being a game designer/artist Make sure you work hard at school and try to make the right educational choices and hopefully you will come out of it older and wiser with the required knowledge in the fields you require!

I am, at least in the UK where I live. You have too be 18 to play GTA games, yet I'm only 17. I'd be old enough if I lived in the US though.

[pauliux2]

Woah. That was awesome, and from an 13 year-old guy.. Wow... You should ask for some help on the forums, there are some Modeling, coding experts around here.

You are absolutely right but I'm pretty sure this whole game developing thing isn't his big dream...
To me it looks like a 13 year old kid is hyped for GTA V and because of that the idea of making his own GTA rushed to his mind (you know how it is in that age)
And I don't really think I should give more constructive critcism because then he will hate me even more...

[tuareg]

I am 13 years old and what is this?


Impressive as hell. You have a long road ahead of you.

A video uploaded by the OP showing the day and night cycle.

I bet thats how GTA III looked in it's earliest stages.
Keep up the good work friend.

[freak2121]

That looks great! Many game developers have started small like that, keep up the effort!

I'm not hating you for that...
I was interested in computer and programming stuff from eight-nine years old, and couldn't stop sitting on computer. in 10 years I began to develop games, they were two-dimensial.

That is a horrible assumption to be making. You sound like a typical Bitter Bobby - someone who tried, failed and lost the ambition to proceed with various projects, so he goes around droning about how others are destined to fail just like he did.

Sure, his game may never reach anything beyond a beta stage, but what is important is the experience gained in all of this. Everyone has to start somewhere, and if this is something he truly wants to do, then he's already off to a good start.

@ Neckbeard,

At least NGT is trying to learn something new which, is better then sitting on your bum doing the same old stuff all the time.

Mate, he's 13. He's got the ability to do what he likes and spend his time how he sees fit. What he's achieved so far, I don't think many people his age can do. It shows a lot more creativity and willingness to learn. I don't understand why you are trying to belittle a 13 year old, but you've got to compensate your own insecurity somehow I guess.



Anyway, keep it up.
