Actually, if you want to get into professional game development the tools you need to learn depend on the job you want. Only artists really need to learn 3ds Max, Maya, and Z-Brush. If you just want to do quest/level design it would be mostly about writing skills, but experience working with game toolsets or some basic scripting knowledge is helpful. Having poked your head into some of the art tools wouldn't hurt, but it's not all that necessary for a designer.

I am a level Designer an believe me it is a pain when you do not have any assets to work with.

That is why i suggested learning one of the 3d packages that i mentioned.

Next class we'll be taking pictures of ourselves to use as models in the game.

I am so making myself the main villian.

You won't really be able to kill/fight the main villian tho. I'm planning on making a sequel where you will be able to though.

If it has a Halo 2 cliffhanger, the video game Gods will punish you.

If you won't let us kill the 'main villain' then he shouldn't be the main villain. You could have a Big Bad who then turns out to only be the Dragon to your Chessmaster though... (ever been to TVtropes? )

I love the story! I cant wait to play this!

That's what I meant to say. I would be the main villain of the over arching story(sorta like Wesker, except less douchebaggery and you understand the story),
but there would be an more immediate threat throught out the story who constantly messes you up, makes you question whether or not you
should continue playing the game, thus making the character question whether they should try to live again.

Fine. God your needy. I'll make myself a mook but use my rape face. Happy?

No, no... I mean yeah. I'm fine. Just let me know when you make the sequel. It'll probably be better anyway.

Eh... scratch that. I'll just make myself the main villian and use a different character model for the Chessmaster.
Speaking of models, here are a few of the charcater models we cna choose from.

I'm thinking the knight will be the main baddie, an altered Raziel will be the Grim reaper. The preadator has been cut form the game.

Here are a few videos of the character's animation sequences.

A spider (one of the main enemies) and the player model. I apoligize for the lighting on this one.

A video of my friends game. We call this one the Zombie Pimp Smack.

Considering the basis of the player charecter's name, I think that this is highly appropriate.

Hmmm, the grim reaper sounds like a dick I like that because well, he is a dick.

Good idea to make yourself incredibly important in the game. You could be like Ashley in RE4 or you could you know, be god... and god is a bad guy and the whole reason the character exists is because god created him to do certain tasks, then you can tick off conservatives to create a controversy and then EA will buy the rights to your game! Sorry about that, thought process stuff you know. Also, its a good easter egg if you set yourself as the "puppet master" in the game's story because well you really are the game's puppet master because you made it and made the storyline and stuff. Or not, its up to you to listen to my silly ideas.

But yes, sounds like a great game probably better than my ideas.

1) Scientology: The Game= Gears of War except Tom Cruise is the hero and the bosses are religious leaders(with changed names of course) and by killing the bosses you "free" their followers and bring them into the religion of scientology.

2) Average Joe: A game similar to final fantasy except that there's no major storyline, you don't have any affect on the world, there's no boss battles, you fight lesser creatures the entire game because you're not a hero you're just some guy, you're not important. A sure cult classic.
