Good god, what don't you understand? You have now been told the same things by SEVERAL PEOPLE. Including by some of them who spoke to you one on one.

Here is your situation:

• GM is a buggy mess with a lot of issues due to the way they update; MMF isn't much better. Prepare to deal with lots of glitches and bugs with both, even when you code correctly.
• Unity is a FAR more superior product than both, but with a steeper learning curve. The good part being you will get a lot more done quicker in the long run, have a LOT more control, and learn a lot more actual coding in the process.
• Programming your own engine from scratch would be a MASSIVE learning curve; but would give the most control. This is the choice of most people who have the skills to do it, but I don't recommend it for a beginner.
• You probably can't afford a coder; they get a LOT more than someone that you pay for spriting work. It just doesn't come cheap, and yes there are many ways you could get ripped off since you don't know much about coding. Not to mention that many coders are not known for being very reliable.
• You WILL have to take the time to learn to code yourself to some extent; REGARDLESS of what you do. This should be your first step; youtube helps here, as does doing searches on google.

In case you are wondering, I have experience in all 3 apps (MMF, GM, Unity). I also know 3 master level programmers WAY more skilled than me who can make their own game engines from scratch, and one intermediate who is making his engine in Unity after learning the HARD WAY what a mess GM truly is. And I promise you that NONE of them would have interest in helping you for less than about 20-30 an hour. And that is STILL relatively CHEAP! You just have no concept of what you are honestly asking for, and don't realize that even a VERY simple collision engine can easily take at least 5 hours to make and then bug test.  And I'm talking something like on an early 80's game level.

BTW stop asking for game design/programming advice on this forum. Most people here are not coders; sure there is a lot of talent on here, but that just is not the dominant forte in this locale. There are much better venues that you can find via a quick google search where you can get advice from people who actually are experienced in this particular area of expertise.

Hey Esco, how are you doing? I've not seen this way of writing things in months, no need to talk about you in third-person.  joking but you are sounding like him right now.

In-topic: Some people here only are saying that it all depends of what and how you want to do things. Like Esc.. erm, the_truth said and since its a fangame about copyrighted material, you will receive no money for it in exchange. If you even so wants to spend money on it, sure go on, you do what you want

Sure, you can find someone to code for you for free, but it will be very difficult here, I suggest to you try asking for that kind of help in another forum, its more easy to find musicians and spriters here as of right now.

The most important thing is to not let some people belittle your efforts and continue to fight for your objectives.

dunno whats wrong with you guys... but i have right to make a code commission, I have my own reasons why i need a coding help and why I don't have the time to learn it myself. So if someone will be interested for code commission PM me, thanks.

[VampireKillerX]

and negative dudes... please don't depress me with your comments, they are long and very anoying..

and rest of you positive dudes, thanks for your support ill be doing some stuff when i have free time, and release you Castlevania Rebirth and Double Dragon Rebirth demos till december this year... thanks for support. double dragon is my second fan game im doing.

Sure dude, keep the fire lit!

Haha you've even already discovered how to do a multi-directional whip attack, also the when a enemy hits you it works very well.

Take the s" off of https and your video will show up on your thread:
Castlevania Rebirth fan game test 1

On a side note, did you make that test section yourself? If so, I am kinda perplexed why you are asking for all this programming stuff as it would seem you are more than capable of handling things yourself. You probably just need to get over the hump of it not being easy as you thought or wanted...

Hi Zox.

Do things your way, stay true to your vision and you will find your team. And yes, you can find them here. The only mistake you can ever make is giving up.

Hi Zox.

Exactly Zox.  Jeffrey nailed it right on the head.  Some people here (you KNOW exactly who) just like to push people around that are doing things for fun and for love of the game and series.  All i can do is echo what Jeffrey said, stick with it, if you want it bad enough you WILL find a way and above all HAVE FUN WITH IT  that's the key dude, it's what got you wanting to make a CV remake in the first place.  Always keep that fresh in your mind, and make sure to keep us all filled in on whatever you need.  Im not very familiar with GM, but sometimes conditions to make things work tend to translate at least a little bit if anything over to the logic needed to get it done.  Give it hell dude and good luck!

Without attempting to sound harsh, i's possible we are too far off of base with this game in general. Seeing you have deleted me know 3 times from dropbox and also once from skype, i dont think this is going to work out in the long run. i have addressed  what our plans were.  I am not trying to be rude..but i think in many aspects you are expecting me to code for you..which isnt going to happen now. I am merely a noob, or slighty past that... Like these guys said..i will have to learn gml code and learn it well to complete a game either way. I am not their yet. As Reiko put it best, we do not need anymore spriter help or level builders because we already have that. I am not going to build you the same game we have plans to make. However..seeing how i am a fair guy...when done..i coudl share whatever code i get..as Reiko,Retro,jop and i discusses releasing our engine to the public after we were done.

I really wasnt ready to release the engien to you to begin with because in all honestly i kept telling you i was heavily involved in a project already(SCV3)and felt rather rushed into it when you reachde me on deviant when asked if had plans to do a SCV1. Yes these games take time, Yes these guys are right in terms of coders are hard to get, and often want alot of money.   All i can say is that i do plan to sit down soon enough and get hot and heavy with gml code(may even take a class this winter). I maybe able to  help you with coding once i've learned enough evne on your project(or do what i talked up above and release the engien to the public), But as for now there is little i can do..

From what i have learned in terms of level editing, overall how the engine works..it woudl take me countless hrs to teach you everythin i learned even if i did make a tutorial.Also, I would suggest not trying to demand this and that and merely ask a bit nicer. It's possible you'lll get a better response. Though i originally didnt want to lend out the engine i did, and when you recently  asked me if you should use a differnt base, i said i preferd you did, i am going to request that if you  end up using our engine..you share what code we need for our game as fair compensation. I  have to tried to have patience here..but i'm not sure we are both hitting the same mark. I'm unsure if you are using your sprite bases or mine in the video..just asking if they are mine you please not show them if not then no worries. Sorry for any inconvience as i merely attempting to address this in a curteous and proffesional manner...Really not sure what else to say.. With that being that case..good luck on CV Rebrith game.








....just off the record..i knew that was you ESCo..The Truth..you ripped off Paul Pierce..lol...nah but anyways.. I seen your vids on Cyclops and Pazuza and all i can say is Damn.....Super Mario!! Fantastic job on those sprites...

[VampireKillerX]

I did that because i see your busy with your project, so i don't want to rush you with mine. When you finish your project you can join mine if you want. If you changed your mind me to use scv3 as a base, let me know.

[VampireKillerX]

this ZeroSaberGreen told me he don't want to help me now, because he didn't understand my post well, said i didn't spelled it right and i should use proper grammar... wow...
Well now... lets see what I said: I need someone to help me create a Lifebar i maded, i think i posted a sprite here, its SOTN based with Simons picture...

Hard to understand eh
Why do people offer help if they don't want to help  wtf!

When did say I wouldn't? I just didn't understand your post, because apparently you wan't me to do something completely different than "do a lifebar". I thought you wanted a new sprite, then thought you wanted me to swap sprites in the SCV3 code, and then you said something completely different than what I had in mind! If you want people to help you, at least tell them what you need first. Using improper grammar like that, you can't get frustrated when people don't understand you because that means you brought it upon yourself anyway.
