I wonder if there is a Hidden Object Kit out here

by Vlad I · in TGB Platformer Kit · 06/16/2009 (3:42 am) · 3 replies

I want to make a hidden object game, but don’t want to spend hours on coding it. I know it sounds like "I have a game in mind where do I press to make it ".
However I'm more of an artist then a programmer. And I'd rather use a kit if it is available somewhere otherwise I'd have to go the old way step by step.

Also I heard there are some kind of private forums here for the people who own engines where you can have more feedback , I cant seem to find them.

Thank you

The private forums have been removed. Now every engine is publicly accessible, except iTGE and Torque 3D (which are in beta).

Are you talking about a "Where's Waldo?" kind of game? If not, can you give a better description of the genre?

Hi Michael
It's a casual type game, and is about finding listed objects on the screen/scene. Each time you find one it disappears. Here are some pictures

As you can see there is not much programming there , though as I said I'd rather use/buy a kit with all builds and focus more on the art.

thanks

Valdislav, I am sure if you ask or wait patiently, someone may give you some snippets. However, you will have to do a bit of coding/scripting unless you get lucky or pay someone to do the work.
