Posted By: LewsTherinKinslayer13 Re: makeing of an rpg - 06/08/03 09:22 PM
who would do the world and who the story. I might like to do the story or the world, probably story, but it depends on what Wolfnfox guy says.
Posted By: wolfnfox Re: makeing of an rpg - 06/08/03 10:00 PM
If you feel like doing the story I'l help with the world, just need some basic background info to get started though.
Posted By: LewsTherinKinslayer13 Re: makeing of an rpg - 06/08/03 11:44 PM
couldn't we do 50/50?

Give me an idea and I'll see what I can do? That's where my creative talent fails. Roughly how big are you looking at?
Posted By: DEATHATTHEDOOR Re: makeing of an rpg - 07/08/03 03:27 AM
I was just going to ask <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />.
Can't guarantee I am what you seek yet I can try.
Posted By: mushy1 Re: makeing of an rpg - 07/08/03 02:45 PM
why dont both of you work on the world together thats usualy alot of work
let your imaginations fly cuz im sure its better and more original than what i can come up with

edit: so far the plan is for it to be a non-linear turn based rpg im not sure if i wanna use someone elses engine or design my own once i get a group together we will talk about what we want to do
but the main thing right now is the world and story

as for the pixel art.. original zelda graphics are passable i just wanna design a fun game



do you guys wanna start a irc channel or what?
Posted By: HandEFood Re: makeing of an rpg - 08/08/03 01:24 AM
I've got a bit of a location/time problem, being in Australia, but I may be able to on weekends.
Posted By: DEATHATTHEDOOR Re: makeing of an rpg - 08/08/03 01:38 AM
I would like to support HandEFood. I don't see how my flash/photoshop skills can help so I'll stick arround. Will show a sample soon.
Posted By: Conflux Re: makeing of an rpg - 08/08/03 08:16 AM
Perhaps you should make a simple homepage and start with a forum. I could provide you with webspace and a php Bulletin Board (or anything like that). That makes communication much easier, especially when you live in different time-zones. Just drop a mail or PM if you need sth. like that.

btw: What programming language do you plan to use? C++?

We can do 50/50, just send me a PM when you want to start brain storming for ideas.

Why not Java ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: LewsTherinKinslayer13 Re: makeing of an rpg - 08/08/03 08:40 PM
I'll be able to start brain storming in a few days. so get a forum we can just do it all on.
Posted By: mushy1 Re: makeing of an rpg - 27/08/03 01:48 AM
ok sorry for the delay
i got my new computer up and running
can everyone who is interested list their emails and their skills
as for the background story i got a rough idea going but i think a talented writer will be needed for sure
and the forum ill be getting it up tomorrow
Posted By: LewsTherinKinslayer13 Re: makeing of an rpg - 27/08/03 03:14 AM
I'm still here for story things. just pm me for help.

Posted By: HandEFood Re: makeing of an rpg - 27/08/03 03:29 AM
I really would like to help, but I have far too much on my plate, and over there, and there, and there's a bit tucked away... Yeah, you get the idea. Lots of luck! I'll pipe up if my problems and projects suddenly disappear.
Posted By: NeroJB Re: makeing of an rpg - 27/08/03 04:33 AM
I havent been around much lately so sorry to jump in but I have a world and story already...well sort of both....My world is an unknown to the characters. My storyline is along the lines of a post apocalypse theme...Ill post my first draft...its the only part that I have typed....be back later...
Posted By: NeroJB Re: makeing of an rpg - 27/08/03 04:34 AM
Fire flew thru the air and the ground crumbled around us as the world around us was being shattered in conflict. The Laurentians had attacked us without warning and without cause...or so we thought. Some 300 people myself included boarded the the frigate Idaron once we were all loaded in the underground hangar the doors opened and the powerful engines hurtled us into the chaos outside. We flew almost unnoticed climbing ever higher into the atmosphere. It was as if the invaders were attacking the planet and ignoring everything else. We reached the end of our battered planets atmosphere and prepared to jump into hyperspace. I took one look back and realized that our planet was no longer recognizable. Great rivers of fire could be seen and whole continents had plunged into the sea....noone down there is going to live I thought to myself. In that moment the craft hurtled us into space to where? Noone knew. I sat down in utter disbelief, our planet was gone our history erased. As time passed the refugees of earth grew restless, myself included. We difted thru hyperspace lost to everything. I could only hope that there had been a plan and that we would meet with the rest of those who escaped. As if some devine had been listening to me and decided the answer was no, all hell broke loose. The red flashing lights that signaled an emergency we spinning wildly and sirens blared in my ears. Something was very wrong....with a neck cracking jerk our craft exited hyperspace. I took a moment to look out the window and saw strange looking creatures latching themselves onto the hull. I ran to the bridge to see if I could be of help, but other plans were already underway. The crew had found a small planet nearby that we could survive on. I watched as our battered ship plummeted towards the surface of the planet. The searing temperatures of passing thru the atmosphere had taken care of our assailants but we were going to crash. Our captain (someone could be him/her) Was very skilled and though in a tight spot made a reasonably smooth landing. Everyone wanted off the ship and the captain was no different. He flipped a switch and some buttons and all the emergency hatches opened. I followed after the crowd and saw a gun on the floor. This could come in handy I thought and I picked it up and took it with me. I stepped onto the ramp and looked out into a desolate waste. There was no sign of civilizaton in sight. The only thing that broke the barren landscape was a trickle of a river off in the distance, with what I guessed was plant life along its banks.

You were going to use that for the start of a story. Start a story for us! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Lews' board has pretty much taken over from the Divine Devotion since it vanished.
Posted By: Winterfox Re: makeing of an rpg - 27/08/03 12:38 PM
If you would like, I'd be more than happy to help proofreading and editing the storywriters' works. I'm fairly free these days. I'm also more apt at filling in the gaps of a skeleton rather than creating a whole new narrative. If you're interested, here is where you can browse through my work (although, despite my previous claim, all of these are all mine without a co-author laying the groundwork for me):

Crystalline Tangles - a fanfiction set in Norrath, EverQuest's world. But it's generic. Very generic fantasy; EQ doesn't have much in way of canon to work with. I intend the focus to be characterization and intrigue rather than sword-and-sorcery action.

A King's Trial - a fanfiction set in Arda, LOTR's world. Post-War of the Ring, focused on King Telcontar's reign and the leftover of the late Steward of Gondor, with some exploration of Eowyn/Faramir and Aragorn/Arwen relationships as background. (No, it's not a romance piece.) Done in practice of quasi-archaic style that, naturally, imitates soem of Tolkien's. This is a piece with which I'm content enough to use as a showcase work, but if you aren't a fan of the LOTR books -- as opposed to the movie, you might not be particularly interested.

Sorry, but i don't think i can help you now man, cause i'm envolved with 3 projects at now, and don't know if i'll have time.

Kiya with history.
Maybe Neo_Claw can help with Delphi programation.
And Deathatthedoor with the graphical Art.
Viper and DAD have advanced programation Skills (C and VB).
Rose with HTML and Design.


I don't remember of other people with more skills.

Ah, I just wanted to say 'sorry' because I am learning 3DSmax and don't have time.
If someone want to help, he can download FL Studio demo and try to make music.
It's frutiyloops.com if I recall correctly.
Posted By: Shyon Re: makeing of an rpg - 02/09/03 12:44 PM
Hey Death you're learning 3DSMAX!! This is great, after learning 3DSMAX try to learn Maya. I think you'll like of Maya.

I'll try to learn Maya too.
Posted By: Drakonis Re: makeing of an rpg - 02/09/03 12:52 PM
Well I am an I.T engineer. So basically it means I can fix anything on a puter. So if you can find a job for me I would be happy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Maybe a systems tester you know. Like I build machines and test the game on them.
