Hi guys.

I'm going to try and start up a YouTube series to show how to make games using the Sonus GDE.

I asked before what small game people would like to be made and a common response was a sort of fighting game. So I'm going to make the game but also post videos of the development process.

There is already one video up at
Www.sonusinteractive.co.uk

I'm also thinking of doing another little series of user requests. The first one requested is how to make TTS dialog progress when you click a button.

If your interested please have a look and let me know what you think. And I'd also love to hear what videos you would like me to make.

A runner game is certainly possible. I could do a video on that no problem

I have another tutorial idea. Thanks for the TTS conversation one appreciate it.

So, what about things like menus? I see that there's a main menu in the Witch Hunt game, but what was set as the init object in that game?

In the Witch Hunt game folder. there is a file called Init.txt. This file shows the object name that is set as init. In this case, it is the Menu Selection.dat object.

Can you give some more detail TY? Is it a set path or do you want them to walk towards a certain object?

And menus are pretty simple. I can do a video on them if you would like. I might just do a video talking through the witch hunt menu creation

Great ideas for tutorials. I'll look at getting them made. Please include any details you can of how you would like the game to work.

Hi Timothy. Yeah it should run on windows 7
Can you explain the problem? And if possible paste the full error code if you can

Sorry for double post, but When installing the GDE program, I got this message
Blocking Issues:

The .NET Framework 4.7 is not supported on this operating system.

Setup cannot continue because a dependent <A HREF="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=846734&clcid=[[clcid]]">update</A> needs to be installed before you can install this product on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012.


Now, what can I do?

You need Open-AL in order to allow audio to work in your games. That's why it wants you to install it as well.

A card game is very much possible. What kind of game did you have in mind? Perhaps I could do a little tutorial to get it started for you.

The installation error is one I haven't had to deal with personally but it should be a straight forward fix.

Download the compiler from the Microsoft website. Dot net framework  needs it to run. I'll look at including this in the install packages.

The link to download it is https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/hel … indows-ser

Well, if you know the card game Yu-gi-oh, it's like that, only with diferent rules, cards, and such. I think I'll just wait for the next update of the program. But I want you to know that I love the idea of this program and I am willing to support it in anyway that I can. smile

Hello.
I have a tutorial idea, well ,it doesn't need to be made soon, we can wait til the console's release.
The idea is how to transfer a game to the sonus console and start it up.

It looks like you need the second link Timothy.

Yeah that's no problem Ghaith. It's very simple anyway. You put the contents of the game folder on a memory stick. And plug it in. When powering up it will look for the game and start playing it. But when it comes time to build sonus games I'll be sure you do a demonstration of this as each game needs uploading to the store to have a key file put on it. The PCP doesn't worry about this as piracy isn't a concern.

you need the second link for the engine, and the third link to play them.
Also, will it ever be possible in the future to compile the games as executable files?

The next video for the fighting game is up, which touches on getting enemies to chase the player and picking up items.

As for the excecutable question, the answer is no. since the PCP is design to mimic the actual console.

That being said it seems the main reason people want excecutables is to deliver their games as a single package, that might still be something I can help with and is a consideration for the future.

Can we custimize the function keys in the pcp?
I mean, rather then wasd to move, we can put the arrow keys instead, and rather then 1 2 3 and 4, we can put a, s, d, f.
