Introducing and Question.

[Mr. Chi]

Hello,

I am Bjorn Schijff and I know PlaneShift a while already.

I just didn\'t came to the forums because I couldn\'t play PS. Now, I can.

I am now 14 years old and run the Netgamers incorporated. www.Netgamers.tk (No spam).

I am into Programming and I do play a lot of game(mostly Online games).

I\'ll put out a list with any Nicknames so you might find me:

- Counter-Strike    -      

[NET]Vash

- C&C Renegade    -     Netgamers

- Jedi Knight 2: Outcast  -    Darkshadow, Vash

- Tribes              -     [NET]Vash

- Operation Flashpoint   -   Bjorn Schijff

- PlaneShift       -    Don\'t have one yet, but something like:  Vash

[/list]

Why do I play online games why I could be working on some great games?

I am doing research, I play a lot of online games to get to know which bugs may NOT be in my games, how you can get good at things and several system tests to see how games work.   That\'s why I came to PlaneShift, the high resolution world, online, free... How can I not take a look at that.   If you will visit my website, you\'ll get to read about \'Sarxos soon.

Sarxos is what I want to be my game in a matter of years. I am learning the language \'DirectX\' and bought a book on it. You are probably thinking: Why are you here? or \'Why are you not learning that language?\' well:

I do not have the motivation for it and as I speak: When you read my website, you\'ll see that my task is leading, head-programming and like that so I have to motivate my team: Well, I can\'t because:

1. I don\'t have motivation myself.
2. My team can\'t do anything because we don\'t know which games were gonna make before starting on Sarxos.


That\'s why I am asking the admins of PlaneShift to give me their E-Mail adres so I can ask some questions about how they builded the game and questions like that(Which languages, How long did it took you etc.).

Also, I am asking the rest of the members: Could you please try to motivate me and my team if you have faith in us.


Please do not consider this as spam, joke or anything else to flame me or the team about.



Thank you, have a pleasant stay.


~Bjorn and Netgamers inc.

P.s. I am from Holland, so English is not my first language: Please do not look at the grammar mistakes.

However: If you do find some grammar mistakes on my sites or wherever: Don\'t be shy to notify me about it.

But you should try to do it (think that at least youll have a job that cant be too boring, compared with selling burgers or something like that) I havent saw your site but will do it right now. Work hard and Im sure youll make it!
Hope to hear of you soon.

Welcome to the PS boards my fellow dutchman, hope you have a good time

btw, planeshift as a project was started in 1992, so it took them a while to get it as far as it is now...

[dorbian]

indeed welcome fellow dutchman to the wonderfull world of planeshift.

and best of luck with your own games and programm\'s if you are useing visual basic .net poop by on http://www.ultimasoftware.tk and maybe the owner ( not me )can help you out or you him.

GO DUTCH!!!!! second best country in the world!

[Mr. Chi]

Are there so much Dutch people inhere  ?( .

Well, Natrina: You saw my website and liked it huh?



Okay, thank you for your welcome. I am getting little motivated already: They started in 1992? Our ideas and plans(World map, Models ed.) the design of it is now 2 years old. Before we start developing them to the computer world: It\'s when I got the team right programmes and I know some DirectX.

We know for sure that before starting on Sarxos, we\'ll create smaller games first.

High on top is a \'Ski-Game\', multiplayer only.

You choose to be a snowboarder or skiier, select a model and go online to game on the Net. Levels are different Mountains. There is no real objective to the game anyway. There\'s a chat and you can game for yourself. Races and stuff with friends are -of course- allowed.

You can create your own games with that, like hide \'n seek and games like that.




That\'s the idea behind the game, but where now planning and designing on the mountains and models.

[dorbian]

one way or the other dutch = greedy so we sniff free things from miles away

but there are quite alot dutch people here for such a small country.

i also took a look at your site looks great, good luck with it.

[Kiva]

If I was to make a shot in the fog, I\'d say at least a third of the people here are dutch, but I\'m not really sure. At least many of the active ones are dutchies.

Greetings mr chi


And i do Belive we have a new winner for Best introduction.

[Psycon]

Wake up mr chi. I know it\'s fun to daydream but the first game your \"company\" should release is a nice new version of tetris, snake or pakman (or have them all). Make sure you don\'t have any real coder in your team or he will be very disapointed.

From my knowledge the game is made in c++ programing language and has the crystal space engine. First you should learn c++.

You should also go see http://www.gamedev.net (or .org, .com, i\'m not sure) to see information about how games are done.  Maybe your dream will come true after all

[Natrina]

You still havent seen a thing and you are already saying it is a daydream? Then I hope they prove you are completly wrong in thinkin that. He already told us that is he studing somethin didnt he? Well then lets wait for the results, before speaking bad about it.

Low expectations sucks, motivation rules. You could at least be more nice.

[I3lack Templar]

Just Dont get Too ahead of yourself. Or you may Be looking at a large letdown, But at your Level of Preparedness, i belive that there is a large chance for the Company to Be succsesful.

Edit: By the way, i addressed that to Mr. Chi

[Cha0s]

I feel like talking about what I know (at least I think I know what I know ), so here I go:
Everyone, the world is changing, C++ will soon be forgotten (well, maybe not, but it won\'t be the most-used language)... People (well, colleges) are beginning to want Java. Just last year my school stopped teaching C++ and began teaching Java. I\'m taking intro (to Java) this year, and it\'s pretty cool. Another language to take a look at is OpenGL. If you want to learn Java try this book:
Java: An Introduction to Computer Science and Programming by Walter Savitch.
Anyway, good luck to you and your company and welcome!

[Davis]

Your first post broke my attention span! It hurt! It just kinda stretched a little too much then... SNAP! (And no, I didn\'t get past the first three paragraphs)
And even if C++ dissapears, the understanding and way of thinking will change less.
EDIT: I healed. It was only sprained.
