Yep now I'm in the process of refreshing my C++ knowledge so as Frisbeetarian stated we can each take a specific role and who knows what magic we can come up with later on

if i am say a little something here, getting a indie team to sync together, let alone a lebanese one, is as easy as building a nuclear reactor, and just as safe hehe

i found this uni in dubai within the links you sent, it has games design courses anyone know anything about it ?

Have you guys played the game called "Everyday Shooter". That game was developed by one man. It might not be a AAA game but still it reveals just what one person can come up with.

Yes iv played his games, his name is jonathan mak
He had another game which was called gate88, its one of the best freeware games iv seen on the web.

also has anyone here worked on Cryengine2 Sandbox2 ? its the Crysis editor.
Its a really powerful editor and requires no programming skills, l made 2 full maps with everything including ai (though ai nav sucks cuz i havent learnt , the ai just stands there)
ill be posting some pics of my creations later on.

So if u guyz need a crappy AI programmer count me in . Seriously, i would be more than wanting (say beg ) to help out anyway i can if you guyz decided on starting a project.

Ya guys count me in tooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know nothing about programing... but im still willing to help

to do what exactly ? to just put ur name in the credits ?? :P

Maybe nothing about programming but something about art design or audio and stuff :p.

Programming is just a tool. The most important part is the idea. You need to start off with a solid and great idea. What type of game do you want to play? What is the story? Never under-estimate the power of a good story in a game.

For example, ever since I finished playing the last of the Wing Commander series, I've been yearning for another similar title. Nothing has come out remotely close to it ever since. So I'm thinking about a game that follows the style of Wing Commander, with an epic drama similar to Battlestar Galactica. A game like that would rock!!!

The first game should be a simple 2d game which focuses mostly on a unique gameplay and nothing related to hizb-allah or any political movement :P

Guyz whats your take on a 2d space based turn based strategy? We can add many complexities and intricacies and fill a solar system with much detail.
