A Computer Game Idea. (Help wanted)

[Faiyloe]

Yes welcome I'll put you on the list.

[Rusvul]

Oh- On the topic of resolution. Um, you'd want your game resolution to be a setting- Most games have resolutions all the way from like 800x600 all the way up to, idk, 1920x1080? I'm not exactly sure, but there's not a lot of people who wouldn't be frustrated by a game set permenantly in 800x600.

[Faiyloe]

800x600 is the highest It can get... For some reason the program I am using wont let me get any higher without a problem.

[Romsca]

So would that mean the backgrounds would be 600 pixels high but much, much wider so you can go left and right?

[Rusvul]

Hmm. That's rather odd. Is that your computer's native resolution?

[Faiyloe]

No its not... which is odd. I don't know why it wont work...

I could probably help with the music I play piano and flute, I just can't compose anything to complicated. I can write songs or poems too.

[Blaggut]

Few questions.

How long are these levels?

Are they multiple paths or shoot-your-way-to-the-door?

Are the keys protected by bosses? (Which wud be awesome)

[Faiyloe]

Yes you would have to win a boss battle to get the keys as for the level length I am unsure but I want it to be rather long. I Am unsure what you mean by that last question.

And thanks Edraithet that would be great.

[Edraithel]

Any examples of music that are similar to what you want?

[Romsca]

Keys being protected by bosses means you have to kill the boss to get the key to move on

[Faiyloe]

Yup... 

[Romsca]

Now do you want this game to have a light-hearted, Mario-like feel? Or a darker, more Harry Potter-like feel? Because that would change the was I did the backgrounds significantly

[The Mask]

I'll help with the lore in my free time. I don't know much about computer game designing though,will that be a problem?

I mean, will you be able to leave the main path and do side quests, or will you have to get your way to the end like most sidescrollers.
