So when are you all going to make a football game?

If only! The thing is, there are a lot of talented and passionate people around here. The tools to make games are more accessible than ever before so there are great opportunities for people who are interested.

Sometimes I see talk along the lines of "I would do this instead" when it comes to the direction of a game. I think that's great and people should continue to share those thoughts. If it sparks the idea of "hey, maybe I can try this," that's even better IMO.

And like I said, the worst case is that someone learns a little bit more about the process. Our community loves to speculate and it would only give people more insight.

Just putting that seed out there as someone who never really thought about working in gaming and somehow ended up here anyway. The tools are there if someone wants to give it a go.

Yup, that's why I have unreal installed actually. I'm frustrated that there aren't more complicated encounters in Diablo 3 and decided to start tinkering with things. The end goal i will probably never reach (top down arpg with mmo-style/more complex encounters) but the curiosity got me this far.

I would love to see Another APF or NCAA Football game..

You can make an NFL game but their would have to be strict guidelines

I was thinking about making a college football game, but it does take a lot of work. I would call the first one in my series, "Aaron Rodgers College Football". As for the NFL, "John Elway Football". I don't have the money to pay for licenses, so they are all going to be unlicensed. The question is, how do I make a football stadium in Unreal Engine 4? I've searched for tutorials and they only show UDK (for Unreal Engine 3) for a sports stadium.

I'll get right on it. I need you all to send me $100 each though. Gofundme.com.

Lolol

It would take an INSANE amount of time and effort, even for someone with loads of experience, to make a sim-style football game that would be good enough to get people to spend any time playing it. The effort would not be worth the reward of releasing your game to an Internet that couldn't care less.

This isn't an 'intro to game developing' project. This is a multi-year/million dollar project. Amateurs should be making platformers and puzzle games. There's just too much to consider when making a football game.

I wonder if you people read or just comment sometimes.
