    Smile Need a new gaming project to pass time

    Hey guys, its been a while since i'v been on the forums.

    Wondering if anyone has a good basic game idea for me.
    Looking for something to pass the time, easy - intermediate level java game.

    Some things i'v already done:
    Pac-man, some of worlds hardest game, Mario (side scrolling), text adventures, basic tetris.

    Thanks for the help guys

    Do you really want to stick with Java game programming, or would you consider moving on to other pastures?

    Honestly, for now I just wanna stick with java programming. I just find it a bit more fun
    Also want to try out the new capabilities of java 8, along with utilization of proper multithreading.

    Look into C++ gaming though.

    If you want a challenge, try making a simple RPG in 3D. It'll keep you busy for a long time.

    I mean, fair enough. It will keep me busy
    However, I wouldn't consider a proper 3D RPG game to be easy - intermediate in terms of programming with java.

    Either way, any ideas for a game?

    I agree, so stick to a 2D RPG game, that's perfectly suited for someone with intermediate skills in Java or someone who is past the beginner stage and almost onto the intermediate.

    There's a million Java RPG tutorials on YouTube and the Internet, so using them as a guide will make it easier too. Also, there's a few 2D Java game development libraries out there like LWJGL and Slick2D, but if you want to get some big experience under your belt then you should write your own.

    Good luck, and post a thread to keep us up to date!

    Yea, a basic Java what I call "2.5D" game would be cool, with graphics like:

    I said for a challenge :P

    I'd stick to a RPG game either way, it keeps you occupied and you learn a lot. Maybe remake your own Zelda? You can find a lot of the artwork online, so you only have to worry about the coding. Plus, if you're a student, it can essentially land you a game developer intern job easily.

    Yup, currently looking through many of the guides. Definitely will look into LWJGL. Thanks!

    That looks like the general RPG idea that popped into my head when RPG was mentioned. Any ideas for a theme?

    Very true. The Zelda idea is very interesting. One of my coding buddies mentioned a multiplayer version of that, which I might try out. And true, I would like to focus on the coding area; so existing artwork does help!

    Open universe space RPG with multiplayer thanks.
    There used to be something meaningful here.

    Space RPG sounds rather interesting actually. I immediately think of a pokemon styled top down view, in space with different adventures per world/planet. Like kingdom hearts, but 2d. Might very well try this!

    Is that a 2.5D runescape clone?

    It looks similiar to Paladino76's 2D RS emulator.
