im not sure if anyone knows, but are there ways to make a new game for the neo geo?i know a company made last hope a little while ago, but is it difficult to make one as far as the programming side of it? i actually had a cool idea for a game, and as an artist, i drew up concept art for it, just for fun. it would be great to turn it into a real neo geo game!!.

again, im not sure if this was ever discussed, but i was curious...thanks for reading!

I believe you're asking the wrong question.
You're question should be more like " I have an idea for a great NEO•GEO game. What steps do I take to make this happen and how much do you believe it will cost me to see the project through?"

hmmm...you are right in a way...im not looking to do this on my own though...i dont know a thing as far as the programming side of it...im all about the idea and artistic side of things...would be cool to set up a team to do this...as far as how much it would cost, i now its a butt load!!! thanks for the reply BB

There's plenty of coders,artist and musicians who have many years of experience in the game making business. At this point I would state that the only thing you are required to have is the FUNDING to put those people to work.Plus I'm sure you want to sell the game after making such a hefty investment and at least break even financially. Breaking even would probably be highly unlikely in this internet era of piracy,I mean preservation.

ha..good point. well, im not really in it to make money,,mostly for seeing this go through...i think it would be awsome. so, on something like this, what are you saying the costs would be? time? materials.( what kind of materials)? carts? chips?......sorry, im not to knowledgable on this..is knowledgable a word?

It's really hard for me to state how much this venture would cost you.It all depends on who you deal with/come in contact with. The "key" here is that you would have to be willing to hire people to take on such a project. The $$ is the motivation.
A rough guess of cost would be a minimum in the low six figure range.

Funding is what will drive the project and better your chances of completing it . This has nothing to do with caring about $ over passion. If you're serious about producing a game for NE•GEO and seeing it to completion ,employees will have living expenses that cannot be neglected while working on the project.
Friends in common will not feel obligated can and will bail anytime they please. There has to be a boss who gets final say on how things should go and when they should be completed.

Just rip sprites out of other Neo games and piece them together over new music and sell it as a new game.

Metal Slug 4 wasn't that bad was it ?

I think ng:dev.team are going to make another game after Last Hope.. don't know whether it would be on AES as well as neo geo cd. They got their hands on a neo geo developer's kit. Probably the cost of producing the carts would be the hardest part- how much programming is really involved in shooters like last hope?
Can't an AES game just be developed as a homebrew rom?

if I ever hit the lottery, I plan to fund a team to develop an idea I have for a MVS game.

So needless to say, it will probably never happen.

why not make a good game on the computer and then see if anyone wants to help you move it to the neo geo?

good idea charlie! the idea that i have for a game is cool...i guess i can post the concept art i have for it...the game would play like cross swords( the perspective) the things you would fight would be bi crazy looking bugs...more of a cartoony look! the hero i have in mind is cool too...yea ,, sounds weird but i guess i will post pics of the art too....
