[/offtopic]As for the two coders, we could do as Tenniskid said, and you might want to talk to CDI, as I remember him saying that he made dev kits for all of his projects, maybe he could make one for this.
Post by: CDI on January 02, 2006, 04:25:00 am
(like a nice drawing tool :P
or maybe some testing engines ontop of DevKits)

i guess my specialty is just routines, i did write up a pretty fast TextRoutine and my walking engine runs at a decent speed :)working on a group project could be great or disaster depending on how u do it. i think we could pull it off, as we have some of the best BASIC programmers around :D
some of everyones ideas?
Post by: BCTurk on January 02, 2006, 12:45:00 pm
@TennisKid - I guess that's up to Kevin, but I wasn't nessicarly thinking of a RPG, maybe a Turn-Based Strategy game??
Post by: necro on January 02, 2006, 12:46:00 pm
.Possible game styles:
Sci fi, Survival/post apocolyptic, ninja/samuri, fantasy, current time, motor cycle gangs (ala "Akira"), pirates/victorian, sureal
Possible story themes and symbols:
redemption, human condition (a anger at a facilaty of the politico-social machine such as the bureacracies of religous doctrine or the problems of a pure capatalist/monopoly government), love and sacrafice, love and revenge, apathatic killing, the cost of heroism, conformity and anti-conformity, war, being hated, the price of mercy, ect.
Will this be for calc or will it be a computure project (JS, Java, C++, ect) ?

| I'll start working on a development site type thing. |
@dragon_lance - I think that as a group project we should try a new design (aka not a port or a design that is like an already published game). As necro suggested, sci-fi or modern, or fantasy seems like a good starting point.
@tifreak8x - We would have to see, but that sounds good to me.
EDIT: Also, does anyone actually want to do a Turn-based strategy? If not, RPG I assume?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 03, 2006, 02:11:00 pm
We could do a game featuring characters from games we made so far (included old ones) and make a RPG with them. If BASIC wasnt slow we could have made Super smash bros type game :D

Post by: dragon__lance on January 10, 2006, 12:53:00 pm
The storyline seems pretty cool so far, but i guess we need the groups opinion. As for style of play, i vote either strategic card game(overhead) and cards do different stuff, or Card RPG like in Baten Kaitoss where u play cards in semi-real time. Also, the leader need not be the best programmer, just someone that can coordinate us well ;)as for the theme of the game: future sci-fi works well with me, but itd be cool if we can add in the XenoSaga touch with fusion-swords,etc...
Post by: BCTurk on January 10, 2006, 01:07:00 pm
Probably as an alien weapon thingy that you can pick up along the way
Post by: dragon__lance on January 10, 2006, 02:41:00 pm
i think an rpg card based game would work much better and simpler. Still strategy in building decks and playing the right cards though. Just no movement involved cause that's a programming nightmare...

Post by: tenniskid493 on January 10, 2006, 05:34:00 pm
I agree w/ dragon_lance about the leader not having to be the best coder. The leader should be someone who can make decisions and have enough time to keep this project running and organized. Volunteers or suggestions as to who???

Director-
Programmers-
Graphics-
etc....(plot will include all)
As for me, i'd volluteer to be a main, or secondary programmer ;)
Post by: BCTurk on January 12, 2006, 05:12:00 pm
One other thing, when do we want to go public with the program? If and when we go public, do we dare release any real info? I would sujest a project title, aka Project: Shadow, or something like that.
Post by: tifreak on January 12, 2006, 05:29:00 pm

Hmmm...would it be out landish to suggest having a real time battle engine...one enemy, rpg? Perhaps something like Mega Man Battle network...but with the actual grid you fight on also be the enviroment in which their are houses and trees and such like in this mock up.
Or perhaps something like that, but turn based with multiple enemies moving and all
Post by: Spellshaper on January 14, 2006, 01:32:00 am
network system is nice, but though going realtime the calc shpuld have enough processing power for 2 enemies... 1 enemy at a time is kinda boring ;)

Post by: necro on January 14, 2006, 06:05:00 am
It is possible to have multiple group games at the same time, at least if they are short and simple games (not crapy, just not overly deep...say 4-5 enemies and 4-5 items types of deals)
Post by: dragon__lance on January 14, 2006, 07:47:00 am
but i still don't think itd work fast enough for realtime, but if it were done in assembly...(*timendus's api), or atleast the AI part, i guess itd work. My idea was to copy Baten Kaitoss's battle system. For those of you that don't know wat it is:Enemy_________________________________Character
_______________________________cards
Card Based BAttle, RPG. On ur turn, there's a timebar that will decrease, and u must select a card to play. Once that card is being played, and if your max combo is atleast 2, then during the animation of the attack, you can select another card to play, and so on. We could just take out the timed aspect and have the player select the appropriate cards to play. Then the animations would be perforemd

How the project will be run:
1.)We will decide exactly what the game will do
2.)I will make an overview of all code, graphic, and data segments of the game that need to be done and have them charted in the order in which they will need to be done
3.)People will make and code these parts and post them in the apropriet section of the project, and I will continue to update the chart
4.)We will pull them together, and began optimising
5.)write readmes, begin promoting it, and make it available

What is Roanoke?? I've never heard of it.
I like the idea of making the games using the sub-programs that we can use to make other games. This may seem a little tedious for making the first game but then we will be able to make several projects using the same structure like you said. That would save us some time in the end. However, that would mean a lot of coordination between who's making the sub-program and who's making the program that calls the sub-program.

American Colony

Ring any bells?
And coordination between sub-program makers.

*if sci-fi*
Story and title proposal:
title:Cold Tides
story: after the day of black rains, a lot of the people died. We heard reports it was a mercury based toxin...but nobody seems to know how that could be. Well, the survivors pulled together and have been living in this small outpost ever since...we have a few air ships but only a handful of steam suits. Well, the good news is I managed a test job with the north eastern mercinaries, I'm not going to get much more than a stripped down unit, but I should be able to get enough to pay for mom and sis to get better medical treatment. Hell, I may be able to afford to get an eye replacement some day...
Story Synopsis: the empire attacks your outpost and kills everyone including your mother and sister, you pilot steam suit mecha, fight the empire in their main offensive then move to destroy the rest of them and learn they are just one of many military fronts for a giant group who were the ones responsible for the black rain and all of the murder and it would cliff hang there, Suits have steam as a power source, and their are advanced mechinical devices and derigibles. Or not, post your own ideas too.
*if fantasy*
we could make a reing of legends (with kev's consent) illusiat (" ) a FF or something else obviously

Year - 2205
The colony station based off of Saturn IV has lost contact. Not a big suprise, as this happens alot. Still they send a ship, of which you are commander, to investigate. Once you jump to [hyperspace, subspace, whatever you wanna call it] you can't recived comm's, so you relax, ect. When you come out, about a hour away from the station, your home station (Earth?) raido's you to tell you that comms are back up, but they arn't getting any response. You dock to investigate, and find the station completly empty. No dead people, no blood, just empty. You search for awhile, and eventually find a little piece of paper with a poem written on it that is short, but deadly in message. At that point, you see your ship flying away, not in any direction, but with full thurster. It slams into an asteroid and explodes. You then are left on the station, trying desperatly to find what happened to the people, and to save yourself.
The rest of the plot is kinda open, I should have more tommrow-ish.

Name: Final Fantasy: Darkness Ressurection
Plot:(just a start)
In the year 3000, there lived the greatest soldier ever. He was the master of killing, but unfortunantly, he was a renegade of the Alliance of Darkness. He was the worst threat to peace in the United Alliance, and had to be taken down...
One day, they set a trap for him, tricking him into an open glade and then overwhelming him with 100 soldiers. He was killed, but the body was never found.
A secret lab department of the United Alliance stole the body from the battlefield. They had been experimenting in creating cyborgs and this was the ultimate first test. They took the body and inserted mechanical peices where the regular body parts wouldn't work, then they put him in a stasis celll to await his recovery. Unfortunantly, the lab was raided by the Dark Alliance and all the scientists were slaughtered, luckily they didn't know about the statis cell and that was the only thing left...
24 hours later, the cyborg finishes reanimation...The stasis door pops open and he steps out. All memory lost....no idea who he is....not sure how he got there...but only sure of one thing, he is alive and he'll find out who he is...
Thats about a start, i know it sounds pretty crappy, but please consider it. Feel free to modify and part of it, (the names suck cause i came up with it in like 2 secs.), anyone wanna add on?
