Title: Arcade Rail shooter help
Post by: The Marionette Man on September 15, 2011, 07:04:23 PM
I am interested in trying to make a 3d arcade rail shooter such as my favourite, CarnEvil.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHIXy9AJ3wY# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHIXy9AJ3wY#)

I know it will probably take a TON of work, I still would like to try it anyway. This project is supposed to be very similar (if not exactly the same) as this game, just with different enemies and backrounds.

If anyone knows of a program or anything that could help to do this, please let me know.

Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Well if you want to clone make a game similar to CarnEvil, you'll have to figure out what kind of coding it uses (Python, C++, etc.).

How do you do that? I know there are parts of roms for MAME though.

I'd try lurking on Google/Wikipedia.

Help, I wanna build something like the Eiffel Tower (but a bit bigger), but I can't even use a hammer. I know it's gonna be hard, but where do I start?

Why bother joking, when I said that I wanted help?

It's a parable. Here's another version of it:
