Elysian Shadows

I wouldn't bother changing the name of a whole game for some corporate twat like Tim Langdell.

Cool :) what game company is he working for? It's an obscure company that is just getting off the ground, but I'm pretty damn certain it will generate some form of (significant) revenue. Its founder/CEO is an incredible entrepreneur, apparently. Good for Marcel, it's great he got a job in the indus...

Oh yeah
I didn't think before I posted. Sorry about that.

I would definitely dev for the old school consoles like the Mega Drive and the Dreamcast. They were my childhood consoles. But for the modern approach it would be the Playstation 3 and Xbox360.

I would go with DirectX. It's more game creation oriented than OpenGL. Not trying to start an argument, but how is that statement true? DirectX is a tad more widely used, doesn't mean it's more game development oriented. Sorry, I didn't say it correctly. I meant OpenGL was mostly just a graphics AP...

A few sites I found while researching DirectX tutorials: http://www.directxtutorial.com/ http://www.two-kings.de/tutorials/dxgraphics/ http://www.chadvernon.com/blog/tutorials/directx9/ I would go with DirectX. It's more game creation oriented than OpenGL. But OpenGL is more portable. :nono:

I think you should learn all of them. You can never know too much OpenGL

OK.
I got Allegro set up and it's working fine. Thanks for your help.

I said on my earlier post I was using the Dev C++ Compiler.

Thanks Bakkon. But the sound card on my computer don't work, so I can't here anything on youtube.

Hi... Sorry that I am posting quite frequently. I will try to keep my posts to a minimum next time. I have read my C++ book and wanting to install Allegro. I already got SDL but the way I did that was download files and extract them and put them on my compiler. With Allegro do I have to do the same ...

I'm guessing it's to do with the genre of the game.
Resident Evil 4 is a shooter so it should have a more realistic look compared to a fun and cuddly platformer like Super Mario Sunshine.
