Hey all
Just wander if this forum is still active and not dead and I'm willing to work on any game-related projects whether full-time, part-time or freelance or even internship. So do please contact me if you are looking to recruit a team member.

Thank you

Hey, It's not dead. Just lack of updates that's all. :) Would be great if you guys can post up some work that you have done before. :)

I am lost within circles ...

I wanted to be a part of any gaming company and willing to learn...

I've worked in a Cyber Cafe for 5 years and only knew to play and respect the games are released.

Hey kunty, welcome, though this forum isn't very active since most of us don't really have much dev to talk about as of yet. But I'm still lurking around to guide anybody who needs help where possible

Avenger, welcome. First and foremost, you have to ask yourself if you are willing to put 101% of effort to be part of the game development industry. To be frank with you, the games industry in Malaysia is very small and chances of working in any game company locally is very low. What is lack of locally are programming talents. This is what is being looked out for by all game companies in Malaysia. Your highest chance of getting into this industry is to start somewhere by yourself. What this means is that you have to pick up a book, a tool, and learn to build a game base on it. My recommendation for you is to start with GameMaker. If you can go as far as producing a simple playable game, you will be on your way to achieving this dream. Also, try to make full use of the internet. Google is your friend and don't be afraid to ask questions on forums. Don't worry if people call you stupid. Einstein was once called stupid by his teacher too. So if you are willing to put up this effort, I will be willing to guide you to achieve this dream. Rome is not build in one day, so don't expect to learn and become a pro in a short time. It will take time to improve yourself to the level where a company will accept you. But if you have the will, never give up. You are still young. If you can put the effort in learning game development as much as you play games, you will succeed. The key is to keep your mind occupied with game development. Think about your problems in your game project and solving it.

Finally, as a proof that I know what I am talking about, I started programming my own game and the first one I was proud of was a tetris game made using Visual Basic 6. You can find it on my website; I'm not sure if it's still working or not though. Anyways, that little success I have, lead me to improve myself more and more. Now, I have started a company with my artist friend and we are making our first game. You can find all about us and the game from our company and game website here:

I hope this will inspire you. The key to achieving dreams is to put effort and try. Those who tried and fail are better off compared to those who don't try at all. So if you are willing to put this giant step of effort, I will be willing to help you as much as I can.

Hi, Muse here.. I'm realy2 new in game dev field. For starting, I'm taking a big decision opportunity to dev flash based game. The game generally about IBAN-Malysian artistic culture. I wanted to create awareness and keep Iban popularity/cultire among youths nowadays. For now I'm still in research process and starting to develop game interface. In other words I start fro sratch. hope to get a guide and advice form all of you here! :)

mus307, glad to hear you are into culture stuffs... how is your research process coming along? Hope everything is running ok. If you are lost or stil starting out, you can take a look at http://winterglass.blogspot.com for very basic tutorial. These are only basic stuff, not advanced tutorials.

Good day everyone, my name is Sheng Yeong.

I was recommended to this site by a good friend of mine.

The reason I am here is because I have a dream of creating a Facebook based online social game that will provide benefits to a social cause and to promote Malaysian Tourism.

Problem statement
1) The Malaysian Tourism industry is not catching up in promotion of online tourism especially from retail travel agency.
2) Malaysia's Ecosystem especially that in Sabah and Sarawak is under threat from rapid development of power plants. The indigenous animals and the ecosystem will be lost very soon.
3) No online gaming method is being used to promote Malaysia Tourism.

Solution
1) Using Unrivalled marketing engagement which is online social gaming on Facebook to attract the 100 million gamers in UK and US.
2) Monetization of the game from virtual items, travel packages and through donations to support the threatened Malaysian ecosystem and also to ensure business sustainability.
3) Creating a new form of branding and awareness to the world about the beauty of Malaysia through subtle edutainment incorporated into the online social game.

Why will it work?
1) I have direct contact with Nazrin Hassan, CEO of Cradle funding to obtain RM150 preseed grant and RM500 seed grant.
2) I have direct contact with Vincent, COO of CAT, owner and developer of VirtualMalaysia.com from Standard Online Tourism Architecture (SOTA).
3) I already have initial preseed funding of 5 figures from various private investors.
4) I have a contact list of around 90 designers from One Academy.
5) I have connections with Singapore Venture Capital scene to obtain more funding and investments.

What are my expertise?
A student from Monash Sunway University in the School of Business.
I major in International Business and Finance and Banking.
My expertise is business development and marketing.

What do I need.
A game designer to design the game story and genre for the Facebook online social game.
A programmer to programme the game.


For those whom are interested, please call me at +6016-2688364
or email to clarence.atyourservice@gmail.com

Looking forward to hear from you. May we prosper with social ethics in mind.

Thank you.
