About Us GeckoGamers: Meant to be said as two words - Gecko and Gamers put together. NOT Geek-o Gamers!
We are a group of kids that are studying Game design. When we get older we are going to start a video game company called GeckoGamers. We already have games planned out! We are hoping that before long we will be able to make a computer game, so that we can make a short version of the game, and put it on our site. Here's our story so far. One day, Reece and I (Taco), were bored in P.E., so we decided to make up a new game. It was kinda wierd. It had monsters, magic, guns, swords/sabers, and great obstacles we had to face and complete. It was quite a lot of fun, so we decided that we should make a video game based on our game. About 3 of our friends thought it was a great idea. After that, we decided that maybe we could make it a career when we're older. That we could make more than one game. So that was when we started thinking up game ideas. We were so excited that it made it easy to come up with some "GREAT" ideas. I'm not going to tell you our ideas yet. Anyway, since then we have been planning games and doing research on game design. We kept researching until we felt sure that we knew what we needed to do. We found out about some programming languages, and we even started trying to learn one of them called C++. It is fun trying to figure out C++ and learning all the functions. It came up a little easy for me because I already had some experience in Lua. So, after that, we started making simple programs, and other stuff like that. Our first game we make will probably be Canyons & Chaos, which is the game I was talking about earlier. You will be able to download the game at the "GeckoGamers Game Trials" section of the site once it is finished! A long time into our planning, we decided we will probably need more people. So we asked our friend Mike to help us. He will learn how to do some coding, he will make up ideas for games, and he will do voices. With help from him, we came up with a few more game ideas. It was a lot of fun coming up with more game ideas! Right now I am working on a "interactive adventure" game that I'm going to put on the site. A year had passed since the idea, and we have lost and gained members. First of all, our graphics designer has left our team in order to keep his family's business going, which I totally support. It's not all a loss though, because (as I mentioned earlier) we have gained members also. My friend Dahlton has joined the team as our voice actor. It's been a while since any progress in our games have been made because of the difficulties of meeting to work on them. Because of this difficulty, I will be working on a short game by myself that should be up soon enough. There will be no graphics, just an adventure formed in words. Sounds boring? It isn't. |
What We Know
We know that we will have to work hard to become game designers. We know about the computer programming language called C++, which we are trying to learn right now. We know a little about Graphics Design ( http://geckogamers.deviantart.com/ ). We know how we are going to start our business.
