VBGamer

i there, I'm Portuguese and 21 years old. I used visual basic several times to program client software for devices that I build. Anyway this is not relevant, the important thing is that after all these years trying to learn C++ to make a game, I find your site and a lot of similar ones on the web that give me the hope that a computer game (RPS, FPS, SIM) can be developed in Visual Basic. And I love VB, I learned to program in Basic when I was 10 with a Spectrum 128K +3 and it's been vb ever since. I'm starting a project, not mutch, but I will experience with Direct 3D using these tutorials. I will start to build the AI and several aspects of a game. The game will probably be a FPS, with the speed of Quake III, the looks of Unreal, the AI of Swat 3, and the realistic weapons of Hidden & Dangerous, Half life will be my rolmodel for level building. Everything seams to be figured out isn't it? :) But it is not. I ask you that probably tried it... is impurity such a beautifull game? Are the games posted really that beautifull, or will vb post a problem when it comes to speed? Can I get really good graphics such as Unreal? (The textures are no problem, I have made a lot already). Well that's about it. I'm glad to share my doubt's with you and the guy's in general. I hope you will help me in this, and one more thing. I'm not willing to make my own 3D Engine right now since I care most about the AI and interface with the player than with the graphics. I will probably make one later to suit my needs, so in your opinion what engine could do me better. I've downloaded Morphit, and Truevision 7... will these do? Sorry for the bad english but it's not my first language. Best Regards José Silva
