So my friend and I are thinking about making a game. We're not sure on the storyline yet, but we need some help finding some programs to help us make it or an engine we can build from.

I was going to do the games textures and he is good at 3D Modeling. We are going to split the job of programming stuff. Any help would be appreciated.

One's we're looking at:

-Blender


If it helps, we were thinking of making a 3D first person puzzle type game. But if you have any game suggestions we would be happy to hear them.

Sounds great, i would help but i pretty much have my hands full , but if it is something just let me know through a pm or something like it!

i can use blender^^

examples

i could help with the storyline

Beldum i dont think puzzle game have story lines...

Edit: Nvm did read it now sorry my fault lol

oh and most likely i would write 3 or 4 alternative stories for what you want when im not online and then when im online you could check them out

If I were you, I'd do it in XNA or SDL. XNA is really cool because C# is awesome, but you can only build for Windows and Xbox. SDL is sweet because it allows you to easily make a version for every system.

actually lwaffles you could make it an xbox indie game and a game for the computer and make money on the indie game...

Thanks to all your offers of help and suggestions. Keep them coming.

@War_Hero: Which is more friendly to beginners? This would be the first game we make. We're not new to programming, but new to game design.

Neither. But it's worth taking the time to learn.
