HIVE

Can you show me some of your playable terrain? We might be able to use one.

Nu nu nu, I don't have anything like that on my computer, they all went down with my old one. I can make anything playable, and I want to make a new one anyway.

Then we should really decide what map are we making so that you can start. Any ideas yet? I have one now.

I don't know what it's like. I only know what it'll look like. Give idea. Gibe gibe.

Hunters.
These hunters job is to capture beasts/monsters and turn it into profit and of course lessen the attacks to humans.
Your character is doing a taboo by shapeshifting into the beasts he once captured and attacking humans secretly.

Agh bad at explaining. Tell me if it's not clear.

It's like an open world rpg. But no leveling up. Monster capturing is sandbox also. We can use my bakabox spell for that, with certain rules.
How'z about it Bern?

I could think of some other taboo things you can do with beasts and monsters. Ufufufufufufu~

I got distracted! Yas, me like. How big of a map do you think we should have? And will it be from bird's-eye view like Warcraft normally is? I need to take such things to account when making stuff. Also what kind of places should we have? Towns? Cities? Castles? Caves? Temples? Swamps? Forests?

Best if we do it WC3 camera so it won't get too complicated. And besides, I think it would appeal the best for the players for this kind of gameplay.

Forests, Towns... hmm... not really sure, but I was thinking of Bloodborne terrain-like while I imagine the idea.
But it's not important. I'll leave that to you the terrainer who knows the best for it.

Note tho, some players might have terrible pc (like me), you might want to avoid the super HQ models.

Affirmative!

I was thinking of Bloodborne like terrains as well, it's like the theme of it. So I assume that it's okay that I use the ultimate terraining map and when I'm done I just delete all the hundreds of models that I'm not going to use? I'm just too lazy to import them myself since it's slow.

As for super high quality models, naa, they tend to stand out too much.

Yes, we're on the same wavelength. Ultimate Terraining Map is what I would suggest anyway.

Oh Bern before we start!
Let's make a pact!

Ready for any pact, babe!

That this project won't get business-like! We'll work on it just when we feel like it.
There's no deadline. It's just for entertainment. If one is not in the mood, one can take a break.
This is our work environment!
Deal?

Most definitely.

I honestly can't work too well when I have something on my hands that I need to finish within a time limit, since it'll be sloppy and pestering you for it doesn't help.
Thus, having a freedom to work when one feels like it is ultimately the most efficient working environment.

Yay!

I will start making the template of the game now. If my template is on the contrary of yours just say it so I can work on it.
Of course I will do the same.

Nice avatar by the way.

Thank you, it helps me set the mood right, even though Dark Souls isn't the theme we're going for now, but close enough!

Also a question, do you have any other ways to communicate, something that's like.. A more efficient way than Hive PMs or visitor messages.
And actually that wasn't my original question but it popped up in my head, the real one was that do we want to toss the map around so both can work on it properly when we feel like it or do I do my thing first and then you do your stuff later?

Hmm facebook messenger? It's the one I have on my phone. Tho I only use facebook for that very purpose. So it's like a gaming facebook.
If you have something better tell me.

Oh we don't need to pass the map. I'll send you templates just like I did before so you can test it. Then you do the same. I'll then merge the triggers to the terrain you made once we're on the phase where we need to test it like that.

I don't really have my Facebook on often but I suppose I can try to change that, of course I obviously check it if someone sends a message to me. I suppose this means that you don't have like.. Uumm.. Discord.. Or... Skype... Or... Steam.

I mean, I'm cool with Facebook, just thinking of alternatives.

Actually I'm not cool with Facebook after all.

Agh I might sound like an old man, but I'm not familiar with those as I don't get to play often. But I've heard of Discord, that it's meant for gaming. I'll tell you when I make one sooner.

Take your time, we'll just settle with Hive for the time of being.
