Welcome aboard!

Hey, its the Zelda guy! lol

Hello and welcome. I think it's been getting quieter around here, but dont let that stop you from programming something big.

Hey hey :D I'm new here also.

yeah i like the zelda games a lot, i actualy want to program for nintendo when i get older.

and hello fellow new dude

i actualy want to program for nintendo when i get older.
Erm, don't take this the wrong way, but why?

because i like programming and i really like nintendo

Nintendo will be dead by then , I mean honestly what where they thinking with the DS

I love my DS. Once FF3 comes out I'll never put it down again!

Welcome, I'm sure you'll enjoy using max.

The latest figures from Japan show that around half a million DS consoles were sold in the four days since launch, with estimates ranging from Nintendo's figure of 513,000 units sold through down to Media Create's estimate of 468,900 units.



Note that the link / article above is from 08/12/2004 so just guess much they have sold those now... I'd imagine that they are cheap to manufacture too because they are small and don't have HD or superhyper gfx-chips.

Welcome Link1426!

And regarding DS: http://ds.ign.com/articles/716/716595p1.html a bit more recent.

Also working in japan is insanly hard todo. Unless your a 1 in a million programming genius you won't be able to get a work visa for it.

welcome aboard link... BMax, is a good choice...

wait a minute... you said BlitzMax...

what's Wrong With You!!! aren't you aware that there's a new version of DarkBASIC Pro that just came out!!!!

:)

just kidding of course... you're gonna have a lot of fun here, if nothing else... get settled in and commence with the gamemaking...

Hi Link1426

I dont think you would have coped any better who ever you had said you would work for.

We are the Indie Millitant Frount. Or the Millitant Indie Frount.

ENAY quit the bellboy thing... wanted the glam and fast life the DISHWASHERS lead!!! ;) I should know... I been there...

WELCOME new guy!!! Good luck on the forums...

thanks and i know i won't for nintendo the first time i try, better start with a smaller company and if i have back ups here in the States.

Welcome to the Community Link! I also joined a couple of months ago, and let me tell you people here are a HUGE help!

i heard they where and i could really use help. the arrays and types are different from what i am used to

Welcome Link..I'm new myself. I'm 37, and since I was 12 I wanted to program for Activision or Orgin. Since Activision is not the same as it was in Atari 2600 days and EA destroyed Orgin, my dreams still exist.

I wish you the best on your programming efforts.

Jason

for State side developers i would want to program for insominac, Lucas games, Activison or THQ(maybe)

i wonder if retro srudios is based in japan or the US

@Link1426 - Welcome. These people are noobs! You could totally work for Nintendo. They have game studios in the States. For example, Retro Studios in Texas. I'm sure you'll have to work really hard and enjoy line dancing and ribs... but you can do it.

[EDIT!!!] @Link1426 - Slow down! I used to work for THQ, they will burn in hell. Don't work there.[EDIT!!!]

THQ is my last ditch effort for a job, i only like one game from them(the worms games)

and i would love to work for Retro Studios, i love Metroid also

and WOOT!!! ribs..

@Link1426 - A friendly word of advice, do not start a thread about "Where is Max3D!?!?!?", "I WANT MAX3D NOW!!!11!!!", Etc. These people will poke your eyes out if you do.

i won't if i want a 3D language at this minute i would buy one that does have 3D

but a Max3D would be cool, if not now but sometime in the future but since it is not out or even announced their is no point to make those threads

only if they announced it and then it has been awhile before any updates

Max3D was mentioned. Where's my stick? =]

Welcome :)
