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

Now that the Unreal engine is free you guys that have the time should come together and create a football game. I'm sure their is enough people on this board who could contribute in some little way to help this happen.

What!? These things still costs tons of money to produce to hire various people with certain skill sets. It still needs to be able to sell well for there to be interest to even make a game, no one is going to leave a paying job to go make a game that doesn't have a lot of interest and have not too promising results. Also JMF16 is a thing. Games take years to make even with it as a main focus with a team of devs, marketers, investors etc. Just because the engine is free doesn't mean people have practice and know it nor have the time and money to make a full fledged football game.

It's true that it can take time to get great. Everyone starts from somewhere! Still might be fun to try out the tools and learn a bit more about the process.

If anything, it might help spread a greater level of understanding of what goes into making that kind of game.

My long posted didn't show up.


See I am looking at it with the amount of members on OS (larger than any development team) who want a good football game we could get people to put in a little input here and there to bring down the time consumption. Just have to get people who have that free time with those specialized skill sets like coding etc involved. As for learning the software I am sure their are plenty of tutorials on Youtube to help with that.

Yeah, get it downloaded and it'll point you in a few directions. I've tinkered but haven't had time to really get into it. It's far from just a matter of putting the textures and building blocks together though.

I'd love to see an open source football game.

Yeah. Making games is easy. Just watch a few hours of Youtube videos and you'll be set...

(Yes, I know that's not what you're saying. But I'm sure too many people THINK it.)
