Like someone said before, it looks like you're trying to rival James Paige and Wandering Hamster mimic something that's already been done, but still it would be interesting to see the results if the idea got off the ground.

Ok, what if we forget making a tutorial game, but instead make just a plain fun community game. One that shows that we're not just a bunch of losers who spend the majority of our waking hours yelling at each other. (I don't know if I'm kidding or not...)

It could work. There's no need to rival Wandering Hamster. Just because it's a game made on the OHR doesn't mean that every other OHR game competes with it for attention. And, it would only mimic it if we decided to make a game about a crazy hamster who decides to save the world from an evil overlord and what not. That would just be plain silly.

*shrug* It's not like it hasn't been tried before, but don't let my cynicism stop you.

Bad experiences from last time stop me from getting involved.

What was this "last time"? I searched the forums, and couldn't find anything...

Veteran RPG by Specplosive (which was probably the best one ever, but Spec did 95% of the work). Nexus by whomever. There have been various attempts throughout the years and the fact that none of them is present on CP is only a testament to their failure.

You wouldn't necessarily need to make a game about a hamster to rival James Paige's game, just a game that attempts to show the capabilities of the OHRRPGCE better than it.

I like the idea of a in-game tutorial, but as a monolithic one-game-about-every-aspect-of-game-making it would be pretty darn hard (due to The OHR's inherant work-sharing capabilities)

I think small focues tutorial games about specific subjects would be fantastic.

Another thing to consider... you spend all this time making a game on how to use the engine... then the engine gets updated (I think it's still getting updated Big grin

). What then? Eventually it would likely update enough to make the game obsolete, making the work for naught...

Unless you worked up a way to keep it constantly updated... then you'd need to find someone willing to update the game with each update... but whatever.
