Online

I need help making my game online. I can make it work when I open two of it on my computer and play, but not across the internet. What exactly do I need to do? What about forwarding ports???

Game Production Tips

Here goes nothing….

Just about everyone, including myself, has trouble with getting a great idea and then coming up with another before finishing it. Reading this should help you complete your games.

The first thing you should do is jot your ideas down on paper. This is the easiest way to organize your ideas and experiment with others.

Another thing is to be consistent with naming sprites and objects in your game. Don't use 'spr_' for one sprite and 'SPRITE-' for another. You should also use folders for grouping your sprites. If a sprite is in a folder, you should include the folders name in the sprite name. For example, a ball in folder shapes should be called spr_shapes_ball. This makes your games less confusing once you hit 100 objects.

You should also set dates for yourself when to complete a certain part of the game, or completing it. Blog about your idea and get opinions about it. Someone else may have a great idea that you never thought of.

All of these things should help you be a more successful game designer.
