That might work. We shouldn't spend all our time on this though, we do need to make a game and an animation, as well as a collaborative thing.

Yeah, how does the collab thing work?

I think that means we all have to work on a project together, all contribute to it, and then post it. Nothing else was said about it.

I've got an idea for that: One of us makes a very simple platforming game, and then we all add our own playable character into it

no offence but you stole arch's idea

Um... I was sort of thinking we could do a party game, maybe sort of like Mario Party... Really, I think not about pure animations, and an educational game... As long as it didn't focus too much on education, it could work.

You're thinking of Cube Field.
Cube World is a project by TannerFBI where you play as a cube and go on several adventures. Speaking of which, I'm going to check if he realeased the last game yet.

We can all make our own if we want to, I'll work on it a little today. I guess I'll make another Gettysburg series project.

... Where's Gettysburg? Never heard of it.
And can it be like a virtual educational board game? Because that sounds more interesting than anything else I can think of.

I, myself, am making a scroller, a funny one too, but I can only E-mail people about it.

thats a good idea! we just need to revamp that to make it awesome. i can code the animation we just need a layout.

... That's a lot like a virtual book... Couldn't I just find info on Gettysburg on Wikipedia or a book? Couldn't you make it an educational game?

Here's the thing. I have no idea how to make a game. I'll see if I can make it any more interesting. I figured I'd do something similar to Travelbrains guides, where they represent the 2 armies as lines, and show them moving and firing. I'll whip up a quick example of what it looks like, and then show you.

EDIT: Alright, here it is. If you think it might work, the real one would look a heck of a lot better. I just wanted to get it out here fast.

Still, what's wrong with making a game of some sort? Like a point and click adventure. But if you don't even know how to do that, fine with me.

There's nothing wrong with making a game, just I have no clue how to do anything like that. The demo was a Pickett's Charge beginning overview, I'm working on it some more at the moment.
