Still I think it would be good to start with the basic gameplay of that game and progress from there (adding a small chance it may land out or whatever, or maybe "risk" shots with extra power or angle but more likely to go out or hit the net).
I would definitely be interested in helping. 1, Are you interrested in this project? Absolutely. 2, How much time (per week) you can work on this? Got from July til September 7 days a week, then from september onwards, 3 days a week college rest of week free. 3, Which 3d engine we are going to use? Anything can be used really, you don't want to look for high detailed software or really complex software. I personally can use 3D Studio Max very well. 4, Which part you want too work on? (design,coding,testing,AI or...) I could put forward some design ideas, and also I could design some and send you pictures. (chars, rackets nets shuttle cocks etc.) 5, The name/domain name of the project? I think what you have now is suitable, maybe create your own forum and also advertise on other people's forums and google. my e-mail is cal_25_10@hotmail.com, so give me a notice if you would like some help or just post here.
That would be soo cool if you could do that, i bet might even be able to sell the game if you did it like that
I think if you can based the game on the Sega Virtual Tennis control and feel, it would be nice. A bit of automation but not too much. Difficulties may not necessary be playing assistances, but the skill and speed of the AI opponent. I guess it is nice to see the birth of this badminton game soon!
Yeah, Sega's Virtua Tennis engine are pretty good IMHO. It will be awesome if this badminton game have that capability.
Good that somebody agrees with me! I am not sure how good the Virtual Tennis 2 (PC) is. But even the first gen VT game play is smooth and nice. Bascially the control is just the four direction keys plus two hit/smash/drop keys. Maybe we need one more for badminton. Two perception views, one is overhead and the other is more like the personal view on the court. It maybe easier if someone can make a badminton conversion pack for VT. I am not a programmer, so I have no idea how hard it is going to be, but I would think that it may be easier if one can just make use of an existing game engine just for modifications. Anyway, I think I may have to dream on!
I like to suggest. A training system, where you train on your own to increase stats. And you can choose which direction you want to go, such as power player or control player. The more you train the more money you get and buy better rackets. =]
lolz sounds like an awesome idea...would be cool if you could create yourself and play against lin dan or gade or taufik ahaha...a multiplayer game with a doubles partner might be going a bit far but that would be insane...but how fast would the game be so that it would not take away from the fact that badminton is a fast paced game? the XBOX's virtual table tennis game was slowed down so slow that it wasn't even table tennis anymore...and in order to play this game at a safe and appealing way to advertise the sport, we'd have to slow badminton down a bit...and that may or may not take away the appeal of some fans, sadly to say....what do you think?
Yeah, but what are the chances that a badminton game that is remotely anything like virtua tennis or ping pong games be realeased for the wii?
well u can buy a developer's kit from nintendo for the wii, including software to transfer a game from computer to wii and stuff like that i read it somewere, maybe you could port it to the wii, also the wii kit is a lot less then a 306 or ps3 kit.
For the time being, you can enjoy basic management simulation game: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46042
That's a great idea you've got. It's been years now and no badminton game for PC has ever been produced -- at least as far as I know. Can't wait to try your game out!
That is a great game =) will support you !!!!!!!! if i only have a bit of knowledge in c++ and oop(object oriented programme) can i help?
How'bout this one ? http://www.badminton-information.com/online-badminton-game.html my friend sent me the link to it.. haha it's not bad.
Yes, it is not bad, but too easy. Hopefully it is just a prototype. But it seems that the control are actually right. But I still prefer if one can make use of the engine in Sega Virtual Tennis in the game.
