I think that one of the reasons that people create is that they want to do something in a way that appeals to themselves and not be dictated to by others. Obviously, I always hope that others will be interested in what I create, but that doesn't mean it will work out that way. Now, if you were to come up with the funding for a game and pay me, I'd be more than happy to make a game the way you like.

I would be a game developer if I had the correct tools to make games, all I have right now Is 3DS Max 8, I still need to get at least C++ for coding, not to mention a graphics engine (Good luck finding a cheap one that looks good)

Benedict, have you thought about making your own games? There are some easy to use excellent programs out there. If you like stop by: http://adventure-creator.com/ You can get everything you need to show you how to make your own point and click adventure game. It's a pretty good learning process and Zimond is great when it comes to helping people. He's brilliant with script. Just a thought. I am in the process of making a game but the story is finished on that one. I have about 5 more games to write. I'm working on writing a story for one called Nightmare Manor. It's going to be more of a 1st person game. I want to make it one of those heart stoppers like we're all talking about. If you're interested in putting your own ideas to work for you give P&C DK a try. You might enjoy it. My husband made a suggestion about everyone here putting together their own story and try to make a game out of it.

Benedict ... I feel an obligation to make sure that you are fully aware of my about-to-be-released game, MAGICAMA. It contains absolutely no sexual content, no gore, no action ... it is one that you should definitely avoid at all costs! Peter PS I 'fess up - this is a sneaky way of letting you all know that another developer is following this thread with interest

Pass on comedy - I'm a rather serious guy but big on exploration and wonder and HUGE on intriguing tasks - I call them tasks because they're not all puzzles - some are games against the 'puter, some are solo games and some defy categorisation! Peter

Hi StarLite Moon, I think your other half had a great idea! Set up some basic frame and let the Boomers fly! We might even find a developer willing to take it to the next stage. I would be willing to help out.

GAME DEVELOPERS.... I'm now playing Keepsake and I love the HINT feature. Sure beats quitting the game, going to a walkthrough, jotting down the hint, opening the game back up and then trying it. Hmmmm must have forgotten something it still doesn't work.... so you have to do it all over again....
I love the HINT feature. The game also has a built in map and where you are is highlighted... boy is that a big help. And if you are a more advanced gamer and don't want it... don't use it.
Prices are going up everywhere except in our incomes.

Happy Gamer Hi Happy Gamer, Actually, I've just started working on Carol Reed 4. Eleen has moved on to bigger and better things (tending to her allotment, etc.), so I'm doing it all alone this time. I've had to learn a new programming language to make the game Vista compatible (which I consider a must these days), which has slowed me down considerably. I'm going on a little trip tomorrow with a friend, to take the first pictures for the game. It's actually way to early to start taking the pictures (the game takes place in the summer as usual), but the authorities are going to blow this particular place up sometime in the summer, so it's best to get to work while it's still there.

Diamond... it works on some games, but some it doesn't. Mainly because I use 800 x600 screen resolution because my eyes aren't what they used to be. It works with the Nancy Drew, but didn't work on the Syberia or Keepsake.
Miquel.. I have only played one of your games, Time Stand Still and I loved it. The graphics were very nice and I loved the English accents.
Does anyone know if those were real people's homes? I loved that cottage (the haunted one.)

This thread really brightened up my otherwise terrible, awful, really bad day. But then so do all the wonderful games our friends develop for us. Thanks so much for all the fun you game geniuses bring into our lives. I went to all the sites mentioned on this thread. Pretty exciting. I would love to develop a Jessica Fletcher "Murder She Wrote" game series but alas, I am not so gifted but maybe one of you......? Kim
