RE: The Legend of Curtis
well, this looks like it might be a reasonable candidate for AsteroidAcumen, provided it's at all decent. However looking at the moddb page it doesn't look terribly inspiring

EDIT: Now that I took more than a quick glance at it, I'm not sure what the heck this is supposed to be.

Forming an opinion should not be done haphazardly.

Don't judge others lest ye be judged? Since when has having a lack of judgment ever been a good thing?

RE: The Legend of Curtis
After reading all that, I'm not really sure what this mod is. It seems interesting enough but I can't quite make it out.

Can anyone else make out what this is?

RE: The Legend of Curtis
This is a Half-Life 2 mod.
This is single player.
Top down view/sky view camera system (Legend of Zelda / Diablo)
Learn to build your first map
Learn to build your first mod
A ton of extra stuff. Great for modders
http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/CurtisTur..._Money.php

Modding for Money:

I've been developing Elements of War for years now. I've never made a single dime from my work. In fact, I've lost countless amounts of cash to just World of WarCraft alone (EoW is a WoW mod too). Sure, it's great for players, Blizzard, Valve, and hosts like ModDB... But I'm not making anything. Sure, my work might be complete poopie, but I've still made -something- and people are still using it.

Now imagine if I was a better than crappy developer. There used to be a time when Valve/whoever would outright buy you. They'd sell your game and you might even be asked to move or work from home. Now we get this: http://store.steampowered.com/freestuff/mods/

So, back to me, I'm a bad developer. It'll take years to have something that looks like a stand alone game/mod. I don't have core skills to be asked to work as a mapper or whatever I do. Plus I'm not even sure if I want to move atm. But I like to eat veggie burgers and I gotta eat everyday. That requires money.

I've got a ton of issues. I've never read an EULA in my life. I don't know anything about laws(I made a post on SteamPowered, but admins there are clueless at times). I'm a developer for the Source engine and if you look at the Gold Source/Source games you're not going to find very many of them(Which means to me you gotta be loaded with cash or lucky/skilled).

Figuring I have nothing to lose:
1. The .zip file includes a small text file about donating to me.
2. The first level of the game also shows how to donate.
3. Get more people to visit the website. Next step if I ever make it that far: Do something with the website!
4. I added ten textures to the game, they're only for advertisements. I'm guessing this isn't very legal, so, useless and highly lame. I didn't even bother to make ads... I just put "512(The size of the texture) Advertisement!" lol...

As for the software itself, there isn't much I can sell. I have bad textures, no sounds, just some text/map files that are pretty much for Source only. So, yeah, I just thought I'd point that out to somebody who's made awesome models/sounds/textures. You're more likely able to sell to anyone. Some companies buy maps. Valve did this for TF2 I believe(For CS I think the actual creators gave money to the mappers and not Valve). Blizzard even stated that you'll be able to sell maps for StarCraft II.

Anyways, if I'm going to make money, it's probably gonna come from ads more than anything else. I can keep it simple or overkill it:

Startup videos with ads(I _HATE_ startup/shutdown videos)
Ads on the main menu when you start the game
Ads on the scoreboard
Ads on the HUD
Ads in the options menu
Ads on your tabard! Big Grin
Ads on your cape! Big Grin
Ads on your weapons! Big Grin
http://www.moddb.com/games/world-of-...n-t3h-ph34r3d1
Ads when you play demos
Ads when you make movies for the InterwebZ
ADS ADS ADS Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

oh come on now, you knew this last part was coming!

RE: The Legend of Curtis
Thank for all the info' IceIYIaN. I had spotted this at Moddb before but it's not for me.
I'll stick with what I know and the prime reason is that I don't like mucking about with files.
A small change in one file can be a disaster in another. I suspect that most players will feel the same.
Sorry about your cash though and hope you recoup it.

RE: The Legend of Curtis
nonono, this is a "Source Mods" mod
C:/GameZ/Steam/SteamApps/SourceMods/ElementsofWar/

You can, however, delete GameInfo if you want and paste it into any Source game/mod.

Got it (takes me a while!). I'll give it a whirl then. Thanks
