So I'm making a side scroller...

[Zeph]

Well, this semester I'm making a side scroller, or some form of a 2D scroller (overhead ala pokemon or oldschool zelda), in U3 for my final. I'm still uncertain of what I'm going to make exactly, but I have plenty of ideas. I'll be working out the actual scrolling aspect with about 15 other people, so I'm not really worried about that. Either we all get it or none of us do. Seeing how there are already existing sidescrollers out there, I dont see how we could fail in that regard. Whatever happens though, I'd like some input on one of my ideas.

Several things in my portfolio are going to be related to Modacity. If I could get this scroller themed to the site, it would be amazing. Do any moments in the history of the community stand out to you? Even things from way back at GBX pre-CE work out. Small things could lead to something big, so dont be shy. This is a chance for some great :awesome:s to be made. If we cant theorycraft something together, I'll have to go with something really basic and boring.

You could make it a murder mystery about Jay's sister!

You could have a Crysis-ice-land-like moment, where H2Vista turns into Modacity from a giant explosion or something.

Also, smiley powerups.

Make a Sonic clone except with Rick Astley instead of Sonic and call it Rick Roll.

You said you're doing it in U3...

Are you doing it in UnrealEngine3? Or UnrealEditor3 (Unreal Engine 2)

It gets a bit confusing because UnrealEditor 1 and 2 were for UnrealEngine1.

If you're doing it for Unreal Engine 3 you'll find it quite a bit better than Unreal Engine 2... especially since you like to model everything in an external package and place it in the Editor... rather than build BSP in the editor itself.

That and I'll be able to help much more in UnrealEngine3.

How much middleware/packages are you allowed to use? If you could... check out UT2D here.

Or since everything in UnrealEngine is opensource... download it anyway and see how it's programmed for reference.
