Let's make a game together (with Backbone)!

Great idea Cammy!

It got me thinking that there should be a website somewhere that provides space where Amiga game coders can go to upload/download artwork, music, sound effects, tutorials and sample source code, for other Amiga game coders to use and/or learn from.

I don't think that Aminet fills this purpose completely.  If the site also had a forum where coders could discuss and ask questions of each other about programming problems, etc., it would be even better.  Sort of a "All-In-One" place for all things related to Amiga game programming.  Different upload/download directories for different programming languages, plus separate directories for different kinds of game artwork, music styles and sound effect categories.

Does anyone know of any website that already fits this description?

Sorry if this idea is a bit "Off Topic" Cammy.  I did not mean to hi-jack this thread.

Cammy has wanted to build such a website for a long time.  The trouble is finding software that looks good on an Amiga browser.  If we could rig something up for IFF game assets and use a GMANE.org mailing list/newsgroup as the forum, we'd be in fine shape.  Do you have web hosting to offer?

Why not a point and click adventure game?? Not that i know if that is even possible using this software.

We're working on an engine for that in our Sunday night/Monday morning chat sessions in the #AmigaE IRC chatroom on Freenode.  (Depending on the timezone.  According to GMT it's about 19:00 Sunday starting time.)

As for Backbone, it's for tile scrolling games mostly.
