Title: Paintball: good for beginners?
Post by: Fullmetal_Steeb on June 19, 2007, 12:22:56 AM: I recently decided that I ~~was~~ am going to dedicate my life to ~~porn~~ helping people, namely noobs, and making paintball a better game. If I were to decide to start trying to help with developing a game, would Digital Paint be a good game to start in and gain XP? (level up!) Also, is there anyone who could sorta, you know, take me under his/her (im not sexist) wing and show me some cool stuff about game developing? I wrote a sweet paper for English class about Game Development, where I basically pretended I knew stuff about it and everyone believed me. So I can either become a con artist, or a game developer, and I think helping to develop this game would look good on a resume some day. And, What the Hell... maybe when jitspoe gets tired of this game, I can take over ~~the world~~ and be a fricken shweet developer. If I have free time from ~~being a spy~~ ~~looking at porn~~ ~~bank robberies~~ being a regular high school kid.

In conclusion, ~~porn is~~ games are good.

P.S. you are now -10% intelligence for having read this.

Even though Jitspoe says the source is messy. :P
But the game is pretty much owned by jitspoe (*cough*gamex*cough*)even if you do a SUPER cool menu system.

Post by: jitspoe on June 19, 2007, 08:31:51 PM: I'd suggest browsing around http://forums.quakesrc.org and become more familiar with the Quake series of engines in general. Also, don't expect anybody to baby feed you this stuff. You're going to have to set out and learn it on your own.
