Ok, a bit back, I mentioned my most recent project 'Project 49', asking if anyone wanted to join. Siert said he would be interested, I sent him a PM, and nothing happened (did the PM send?)
Anyhow, the project is now under way, with a team of three people (consisting of EDGE, Calle, and I).Let me give you the basics of what the game is planned to be:Type: 3D RPG/Shooter/SimulatorBrief Summary:In 2324, the galaxy is split into many factions, all of which are seeking to control the Galaxy. Mercinaries, Pirates, and Smugglers thrive in these times, and you, a mercinary, plan to do the same. You start off on earth with a little money, a gun, and some clothes. You can gamble, complete 'quests', ransack, barter, and find money to earn enough to purchase better items, or even a spaceship. Once you have a spaceship, you can travle to many other locations within the galaxy, doing as you please. Alliances can be forged, treaties broken, and ties betrayed. It's all up to you.More Technical Info:There will be both space and land combat. Combat will be much like in a shooter game, but your stats can give you the winning edge in a shootout. As of right now, there is no online version planned, though, after we're done with the project, we may consider converting it to an MMORPG.Now, you may be thinking 'Ha, this guy's an idiot! He's expecting to be able to do too much! And he doesn't even have a demo or screenshot yet!'And you may be right… only time will tell…Anyhow, as of right now, I am working on making the casino for the first area… I was working on making the space engine, but EDGE took over, and has told me that he has movement and rotations done… I'll have more info on that lately.I think that EDGE is also working on the land combat engine, though I'm not positive.Calle is working on the stat system… I think.
Heh, good luck with that, sounds cool.
Thanks… I just finished making a slot machine (3d, fully operational… horray)… I'll take on the card games later… It's bed time for me…exams tomorrow and all…
That game sounds awsome, but it gonna take you guys a long time to finish it with a team of only 3 people.
Ha, this guy's an idiot! He's expecting to be able to do too much! And he doesn't even have a demo or screenshot yet!
j/k :Psounds pretty cool…And yes, it's going to take us quite a while…
Experience tell me something: you won't finish it.
I know I can sound very discouraging, and heck, chances are that you won't finish that game (even working with a team) anytime soon, not even by 2007.And you should erase already that "MMORPG" idea from the list.Ok, josea, I see your point. And no, I know we won't finish it anytime soon. We hope to start making it look like a game by summer of '07. It probably won't be finished until well after that (say '08). And the MMORPG is something that we might do after we finish the game if we can get some help from more experienced multiplayer programmers.
Well, good luck. The only way of getting you to finish it is by keeping you motivated on making it, and that's quite hard to accomplish because even if you get as far as 1 year of working on it, you'll probably end losing interest in it.
Yes, I'll agree that lack of interest will be the thing that could stop the project; as of right now, we're in the fun stage: making little bits and pieces of engines, coming up with the storyline, etc. In another month or so, we'll reach the tedius stages of making parts, patching it together, testing it, fixing it, bug-hunting etc. Also, Gompen is most likely joining.
