Oracle Breeding

Oracle Breeding is going to be a game where you breed your own species, and your own sub-races of that species and fight them against either your own, or anyothers that are avaible for download, either pre-made ones or other people's breeds.  The main focus is the actuall creation of the creature.  It will go through at least 4 stages of breeding, from altering the DNA to subjecting the cells to different chemicals, ect.

UPDATED 1/5/06
------------------------
CURRENT NEWS

I started work on the DNA engine.  I'm going to have you edit DNA via Alleles of the male of the species (the female will be generated randomly so you don't get to fully create your creature, although I'm thinking about having a "freeplay" mode of sorts where all you do is create the perfect creature to fight multiplayer or upload for someone else to fight.  As of now the DNA engine fully implements 4 of the 24 alleles.  A primitive version of the DNA engine will be PM'ed later tonight to a select few...

Ok, so today I got the loading bar working how I want, so when you start the program, it shows the title screen, then the loading bar loads...a minor achievement, but it looks cool :D.

------------------------
TOTAL PROGRESS - 5%

Coding Intergration - 1%
This is like program switching, ect.  I havn't really started even coding, so...

xLIB Intergration - 5%
On this project, since I'm going with xLIB from the start, hopefully it will go just as quickly as the rest of the project...

Graphics - 8%
Working on a title screen, and have some of the breeding screens concept

Shop - 0%
Buying chemicals for the DNA altercations, ect.  Haven't started them yet.

Breeding Page - 2%
The entire breeding process.  Concept is getting there, but no coding.

Fighting - 0%
Where you fight, no coding as of yet

---------------------------
SCREENSHOTS:

Concept Art - Title Screen
user posted image
So, the white bars under the text ORACLE BREEDING are loading bars.  The first thing you would see would be just ORACLE BREEDING, then the loading bars, then the text would appear along with the DNA.

Really nice, it is original and unique! I hope to see this progress more, and if you want any help code wise just ask (not saying you need help or anything).

PIRATES! is on the verge of death.  It's still reeling from the last iteration of Omnimaga's sudden death.  My hope is that this will get me back into programming enough to start on PIRATES! again.

Holy !@#$%^&*()!!!!!
This project sounds amazing! It's like taking pokemon to the extremes no one has before!

Pardon the enthusiasm, but this is just something I know I'll get hooked on.

Will your creature have its own self-modifying AI based on the drugz used to make it? XDsmiley.gif
One of these days I'll get a sig I'm really proud of.

Most of the inspiration comes from Spore & Gladius actually.  Never a big pokemon fan...

And AI I havn't givin though to yet, but most likely YOU will code the AI based on how you breed your creature, so yes.

And I was looking fowards to PIRATES! as well, the summer might help get it started again as well.

On a side note, I just finished shoveling snow. :(sad.gif

http://www.gamewaredevelopment.co.uk/creatures_index.php is the link to their main site, but http://www.gamewaredevelopment.co.uk/downloads_index.php is the link for you to download and look at screen shots.
