developing your own game

FreeFighter · #1 24-02-2004, 07:27

Has anyone ever tried to create their own ps2 game? I've been looking around the net, but there's no specific info on what tools you need to use to start creating a game. If anyone knows please let me know. Texture Maker and PhotoShop are 2 things i know for making background and 3d pics but the rest

i am 99.9% sure this is impossible. first you would need to spend months developing the game then after its created you would need to make an image of it somehow and in all this you would need to have the PS2 code so that it would play!

I know it takes up a lot of time creating a game. But what if I have that amount of time? I mean, I'm not doing anything at the moment and i would love to make a wicked game the only thing is i know once you have to burn it you would have to play the game on a ps2 with a modchip too. So it would recognize the disk. Anyway would be cool to make a game on your own once an a while and let ppl play with it knowing it's your game!

Some other apps you may need is Sony CD/DVD Generator and maybe a pss player. I think theres a way to encode pss's but I dont remember how.

Yaroze, but every other idiot thought it was a miracle boot disk for backing up games without a mod chip.

Playstations are notoriously hard to program and some developers are jumping to different platforms because of this. If I had to learn a programming Language, I’d pick Xbox because it’s easier, faster and more versatile. Even though I hate Xbox controllers and don’t even own one yet.

Whatever you decide, you should contact all the homebrew developers you can. Find out how they got started and how to get all the instruction sets, programming software, assemblers and all that fun stuff. Also figure out how to program in C+ language, it’s the basis of just about everything I think. So even if you don’t manage to make a good PS2 game, you can always get a six-figure job in C+ programming!

The Xbox games are created on Linux right? And there used to be C++ tutorials on astalavista but now they're gone
