they are not being realistic, such projects require very large teams and money to execute, we are talking about what an average startup can build and make revenue not elephant project that can take years to pull off

truthCoder:
You are simply a micro minded person then.

I know almost nothing about game programming but i have seen prototypes built by guys here in Abu Dhabi which is amazing. No team.

People are thinking outside the box daily, pushing boundaries and you are calling our ideas elephant projects.

What do you want? A project you can spool up on wordpress and start making your toro-kobo google ads money?

If you dont have the capacity to push, dont try to slpw another person down.

You can go ahead building your fintech with its massive glut and pray for success.

Abeg shift, you are obviously no fit for this discussion, allow others to contribute

Says the runt who thinks coding games require angelic dust and is unattainable in Nigeria.

Just because you are a generic php ‘thing’ doesn’t mean the world must revolve around the vacuum in your head.

If you cannot, dont say others can’t.

tensazangetsu20:
Such game will be very expensive to make sha.

truthCoder:
Very.

And i am hoping the future dev would not skimp on quality or bombard it with rubbish google ads.

I am ready to be on the advisory board for any dev thinking in that direction

LittleBigDick:
Hoping to achieve that with my team on a naija rpg game

Check RogueRavens on github


We're still new and only three people on board

YoungCabal:
I'm just starting html, dey go abeg let people who are fit for the discussion participate

LittleBigDick:
Not necessarily

An average team can build a AAA game and make it foss thereby allowing anyone to contribute to the game

If I were to do something like this , it'll be foolish of me to launch it as a start-up when I don't have funds, I'll launch it as a indie games dev team first or a non profit sort like Linux

I would launch it as an open source project first and build a stable version first then leave it for peeps all over the world to contribute

Many companies are looking for open source projects to fund but sadly there aren't enough

Once I get a story teller and writer, I'll definitely build this

truthCoder:
If you can build a high definition prototype with realistic scenery, (Arma standard or more), i can get you your story writer.

truthCoder:
Great

I will check it out.

Thumbs up

Edit:
Seen. Some of the games were built using C.

As i said earlier, i know next to nothing about games.

Considered using Unreal Engine 5?

PUBG and a host of many games were built with Unreal.

That is why I said you are being unrealistic in the first place, you forget we are Nigerians and we don't have much privileges like the Americans and Chinese do when it comes to building, from electricity to man power, over here, you can never get it free, people have families to feed and bills to pay, they can't waste their time building free things left and right just for fun sake.

Ask yourself, why hasn't there been a Nigerian linux distro for many years now ? Not like there aren't people that can pull if off, I for one have walked that path before and use gentoo linux as my main OS till date, it's not just profitable ! How will you feel seeing people building tiny stuff and making money while you remain poor building harder stuff for people to use for free ?

truthCoder:
You want linux to be profitable?

Who is this one?

The fact that all of us meet on Nairaland does not imply we all come from the same street. Yes there is poor electricity but has that ever stopped anyone from doing anything?

Manpower, yes. As long as we have people like you who second-guess their abilities and continually play second fiddle, manpower would be a challenge not only in Nigeria but anywhere you go.

If you cannot meet your bills, sorry. Building ‘free things’ is the best way to expand but how can you know when you want to make your own linux profitable.

You have been pessimistic from the start, claiming it is not possible, yet Nigerians are getting funding almost everyday for creative ideas.

Nonsense and ingredients

LittleBigDick:
I can build but I don't have the required graphics card that can build such for the moment

YoungCabal:
One of the reasons I have refused to engage you in this thread is because you are too insultive and childish, shift abeg let people who are worth responding to see space, stop derailing my thread

truthCoder:
You dont own this thread. ...
But you see this one created by Seun, you dont own one single pixel of it and i will comment anytime and on any thread.

QuoteJustOnce:
How can you be so sure, mate? What if he bought "backyard Nairaland stocks" from S3un ?

truthCoder:
You dont own this thread.

You see that your Nairaland clone that you built with bad colors, you can yank me off if i ever step my foot on it.

But you see this one created by Seun, you dont own one single pixel of it and i will comment anytime and on any thread.

I only dish it to people who think they have a monopoly of bluntness. You come at me, i slice you. It is how it is.

YoungCabal:
First, you called me a php thing thinking I was a wordpress modder, hoping to bash me and start the usual php is dead argument but it seems you later noticed that I wasn't the average PHP guy when you saw my comment on building a linux distro and using gentoo linux as my default OS.

Now, you wasted time you would have used to do something better with your life to go through my old posts to say you will never step foot on a forum I didn't even mention in this thread

It only shows how frustrated you are by my refusal to engage you directly, I only interact with well minded persons, abeg shift !

truthCoder:
First, you are just a php thing. Nothing bad with php or your choice but thats just you. You cannot see beyond your templates and scripts. This is why you see other projects as unreachable.

Secondly, i dont give a hoot if you use php or angel blood to write your codes. If you can deliver, thats all that matters. Just dont start feeling like other people cannot achieve what you have decided you cannot achieve.

Third, you know almost nothing about linux. If you can open your mouth waaaa to say linux should be profitable, then you really dont get it…no matter what you claim to use.

Except you are Linus Torvalds, your dick-wagging claims of using gentoo sounds so absurd and out of place that one begins to understand your inferiority complex .

There are over 600 active linux distros which were built by humans…not aliens. Anyone with time and skill can fork his own Linux and start tweaking. This does not give you Voltron or SuperTed powers.

You have a Nairaland clone with bad colors. Neon and black everywhere like a cheap brothel’s romp night. If i was commenting on that clone, you would have yanked me off for disagreeing with your myopic views. But here, only seun or the mods can yank me off.

Now, cry me a river mister CloneLand

LittleBigDick:
Nigerian games not Western games
Imagine you did a game on the Biafra civil war
Shit will sell like mad I swear


Another one is AI

AI is limited to the west mostly
Imagine if we had Siri alternative for Nigerians
It can speak every major languages of Africans

What game engine do u use unreal or unity ?

Unbiased1:
The kind of game you are asking him to build (Biafran war game) is not the kind he can build at his level now. A war game is like a Battle Royale game and requires 3d artists, programmers, knowledge of gaming engines, high end PC with high-end graphics cards etc. I'm not sure the op is financially buoyant enough for such project. If you know how much time he will spend creating the models alone if he decides to go solo in the game making process, you will pity him. Do you know much 3d artists sell their works or how much they will charge you to join your team of designers? What of the amount of money required to purchase the necessary hardware and the monthly cost of electricity to create the game. Game development is not easy especially when you want a high class game like a war game.
