Can someone tell me why you're bumping this thread for no reason?

hey

HELLO THERE.
But yeah, check the rules here. Bumping a thread for no real reason is not allowed here, but I'm sure the 'mighty' Naryar will let you off first time.

Here I am for your convenience [/sage]

Hey, new guy. Just saying that you bumped a thread and posted an off-topic question on it.

You are new, so it's fine. Once. Just next time make another thread for your new, non-already asked questions in the relevant question. We try to keep threads relevant here.

I say if we're gonna make any kind of new robot combat game from the ground up we should make it a Source mod.

I'd be happy to learn source in my free time and help make a new game while I'm in the RAF.

this is one of the reasons i believe robotic combat should be broadcasted again, this along with making people who watched the originals happy and getting children into robotics and engineering. But i digress. Until robotic combat gains the popularity it once had i see no hope in any major company designing a game. Indie developers have tried to make robot combat games but many have flopped making it dangerous territory. also the forum could only develop a game if people put money behind it. This is possible but a majority of the entire forums makeup would be dedicated to it for it to work. This would make a new robot game but knowing all the complications of programming it may take years to develop a game half as good as RA2 more so to make something with modern day physic engines and debugging. The only chance is to get a large developer interested in this genre of games. a basic java class won't get you very far in programming a game this complicated. I would love to see a new robot game. But until it becomes a way for many companies to try and grab money we wont ever get a good one.

You know, I feel like the outlook of "nobody would buy it" is hardly accurate. Even if a simple RA3 was developed, fixing the major bugs and maybe reworking the physics engine to a stable point, I feel like the game would sell massively. Couple that with the current trend of crowd-funding games, I think it's entirely plausible that this could be done in this era. The only thing really necessary to sell a game today is effective marketing, and with YouTube LPs and reviewers at an all-time high, I think that would hardly be the most difficult aspect of development.

Just thought I'd put a word out there; it can definitely be done, but a lot of dedication would be necessary.

Check out Sic's Scrapmatch thread for a new combat robot game. He's been doing amazing work so far and even has a spot reserved on IndieDB.

Totentag · « **Reply #50 on:** April 05, 2014, 03:45:42 AM »

Well now, that's just beautiful. Tanks a million, I reckon. Or planes. Something like that. Smeg off, it's 04:46.

Edit: Christ. I really sound like a douche when I'm tired. That was less sarcastic than it came off sounding, sorry.

We could get Nerdcubed to gather his subscribers up to go to a patron website and provide money/code. His Robot Arena 2 video has gotten up to 700,000 views already, so we would have a ton of people to help. He is generally interested in a new combat game, and he is very persuasive.

It is ten times better than Robot Wars Arenas of Destruction for PS2 (which was the first combat robotics game I got before RA2)
ROBOT IMMOBILISED

POWER SOURCE DISABLED
Press Start to Exit Bout

GAH! Bad memories!

At least you didn't have house robots that forgot what CPZ meant and just chased people across the arena(RW:Extreme Destruction).

We know, last time there was a post in this thread nobody knew that RA3 was a thing, and there wasn't a steam page. :)
