Can You make games with friends?

Please let me know

Do you mean work together on one game project? I suppose one could share their project on the steam workshop as a "friends only" and between them they could edit it/work on it, but it would take some good communication/cooperation.

The source control would probably be absolute hell unless you all keep to very specific areas (one guy is maps only, one guy is sprites only, etc)

Definately!!! ^^

Yes, it is possible but you have to be careful!

...and just to state it explicitly: the software has no built-in multi-user functionality. =P

Data files are split into each of the resource types (images and audio, each sub-categorised) and database entries (one file per database tab). So one way it could work is to make sure each contributor is restricted to certain resource types/database tabs, and use a cloud service to sync only the relevant files/folders from each user. =)

Another alternative is the Steam Workshop as suggested above, though in that case I'd make sure that each person does their work and updates the shared project before someone else contributes, as I'm not sure how the Workshop handles the syncing process.

Quite easily done. But like all game development, you'll all have to work on different departments of the game. One to work on the database, one to work on mapping and possibly custom graphics, someone to write the story, and you'll need to communicate with one another, to make sure you're updating the latest build, etc.

If your going to do it, everyine working on it needs to work on it as separate projects, and one person needs to be a project lead responsible for assempling the different source projects, into one complete base project. That way people can work and save and update their project segments as needed, and at intervals can be implimented into the main project.
