Help wanted for MarioVania game, Help for a Castlevania/Mario game!

Hello!

I am new here and tried to work with the Ultramario Engine and several other engines, but never had the time to really get into them.

I like to create a Mario game with Castlevania setting and style (not gameplay). I have got some ideas but no sooo much time and few experience with Game Maker.
Is there anyone interested in such a game ( I know, I am by far not the first one)? Is there anybody who wants to help me?

Read the rules. You need SOME kind of evidence you're actually doing this, and quick, or else this topic will be locked.

1) Read the rules.
2) It sounds a lot like the old typical "let's beat around the bush" conversation. You claim you are asking for helping. However, my eyes see this:

If you don't have the time, then how do you expect to progress on it?

Under most circumstances, the one requesting help will usually be the one with most experience, and knows what he's doing. This person's job is typically the programmer, as spriters don't tend to do: "would anyone like to create a game for me with the sprites I created?". Same goes for music creators. If you aren't experienced, people won't take you seriously, and they won't help you.

My suggestions:
1) In the future. Provide evidence of your project. By evidence, we mean screenshots, sprite sheets, engine tests, whatever, as long as it's related to your game somehow.
2) Find some GM Tutorials. Go to the Game Maker forums. they have tons of tutorials on how to do many things. MFGG tutorials aren't too bad also.
3) Don't just assume what other people may think. You thinking someone else has planned on making a Mario with a Castlevania style is about as probable as me thinking someone will make a "insert my game idea here".
4) Make yourself seem commited. No one wants to be stuck with all the work. Especially if you can't find some time to work on it.

I left this topic open on purpose first, because apparantly you tried and asked for help with GM which is actually ok.

But then again, you're disqualifying yourself by saying this:

When you want to draw, you HAVE to learn how to draw.
When you want to play tennis, you HAVE to learn how to play tennis.

Same here:
When you want to make games, you HAVE to have time to get into game making.


If you are not willing to spend some time on those, you shouldn't bother anyone else.
The MarioVania idea has been done already (See: Super Mario XP), so you wouldn't even contribute an original idea.


If you want to learn game making, get yourself a tutorial to learn from, not an engine, unless you can work with it.


If you want to ask questions on how to learn game making, you can read the FAQ.
When there are questions unanswered, you can ask them in the FAQ topic (that's why it is open).
If you want someone to spend time with you to teach you game making you can post in the Help Forum.



Oh and another thing:
I won't blame you for it, because members suggested it, but: never create a topic twice. When you have created a topic in the wrong section, you can contact a moderator or administrator to move it, but please do not make duplicate topics.



Enjoy your stay, nevertheless.
