      Vodka? There's your problem. It's shrooms you need for reality modifications. Allegedly.

        Thanks a lot. I started out in a similar way. One of your former presidents at least found other words: ...who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

            There's something wrong Jörgen, it doesn't work! I pushed the button and it SAID that everything was ok, but it isn't! So because you're a programmer, you had better fix it ASAP! :doh: Oh, and can you fix my computer while you're at it? :confused:

              GTAV had a production budget of what, $140M or so? Yeah, he should be able to pull that off.

                  That wouldn't be the first project like that. I've seen several video games that tried more than they could realistically achieve.

                      I'v got a complete design document for a game I wish to someday create. But the sheer amount of work needed. Sigh... Even if you use an engine like Unity which is easy to learn and work in and removes a lot of the reinvention of the wheel th e sheer size and complexity is staggering. And not just programming, if you really want to make something great you need art assets. Huge amount of work there. But sure there are people who can do great things but you should try to steer most people to start smaller. A lot smaller. Start with GTA 2 before you move up in the world.

                      I'm in the same boat... I've been hanging on to several ideas for various years, but I've always been discouraged by the sheer amount of work. As a single developer, it would likely take me the majority of my life (and possibly some of my afterlife) to complete some of my more ambitious ideas. Not to mention a lack of artistic ability. Sure, the obvious answer is to find people to team up with, but that requires being social... and compromising with people who want a say on how my ideas are built. :~

                              As students, we would often bait our tutors with questions like this. They would always throw them back at us to solve. In this case, we would have been told to outline the steps required to achieve this goal. I.e. Storyboard, create simple text version to test the logic and then consider what would be required to move forward. In other words, follow the design process from beginning to end. At the time we would groan and usually forget the whole thing but, occasionally this approach did trigger a positive response. Some of our better projects were kicked off this way so maybe it isn't always a good idea to 'dis' this sort of question.
