Recruitement for a Turn-based RPG.

[redscores]

I am looking for people with ideas, courage and motivation for a new kind of map, a turn-based RPG.

I want to take the old school RPGs from SNES and such to Wc3, thats why I want to make a single or up to 5 player RPG.

For that I need:

A idea writer,
A story writer(to help me with a story),
A artist
A good terrainer.

The Idea behind that is to take the traditional RPG without "ORPG" shit in it back to Wc3, with a cool turn-based system which is already completed and done by me.

If you want a example for my wanted RPG style look at this:

YouTube - Lufia II : Rise of the Sinistrals Final Boss Battle


I would gladly design more systems for this map if needed.

But I want it not exactly like the movie, it should be more new.

AdzYBoy, story writer
DonDustin, modeller

 

[tyeeeee1]

I could help with the story.

 

[redscores]

Give some examples for your fantasy story writing capabilities please, thanks.

ok here u go a good story. It was 2000 years ago in the world of dragons and demons. There was diffrent gangs like orcs elves higlanders trolls, The year was 1936 many people have set there foots in this world, and falled from diffrent races. There was diffrent heroes who ruled the earth. In the deep forest of chronopia lived the most dangeroues creatures. and more will come after another $ who will survive this endless RPG was just kidding with the $

 

[redscores]

Well, no offense, but maybe a story writer should write a better understandable english..

 

[~Void~]

This sounds really neat. Give me some time to think about it, but I might help you do the terrain. Only, however, if you let me make some of the ideas and story too :]

My idea for a system is an (improved) version of NWN/NWN2's system, it's semi-turn-based in the sense that movement is 100% free but combat and actions are turn-based. The turns, however, are separate for each character. For example a character can make an action every 3 seconds.

 

[redscores]

I already made a system for this game: RBB - Round-based Battle System V1.04 - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site


But it would be cool if you terrain it .

 

[D a w n]

I already started working on a terrain for a map using your system
maybe it can give you some ideas

oh and btw: if you think I can help you in some way then tell me pls

 

[arthas_king]

if you want me to help you with terrain or creep camps count-me-in

 

[redscores]

There will be no creep camps .

 

[arthas_king]

oh man well i can help with terrain then

 

[redscores]

Okay, show me a example of your terraining.

 

[AdzYboy]

Howdy mate... Story and ideas i can help you with.
example of my writing can be found here

if you want my assistance just give me a yell

 

[bboy-tiger-]

I got one map half turn-based, well kinda, part of it is based on "Metal Marines" game from SNES.
But pure turn-based maps could be somting like king's Bounty game, or Heroes of Might and Magic. Not the theme, only an gameplay system.

Also i have SNES and N64 emulators on PC, so those old games rock, specialy on SNES, old games have better gameplayquality than those nowdays.

 

[redscores]

Yeah, my system is thought for games like Lufia, Mystic Quest etc.

 

[AdzYboy]

do we have enough people to begin? i really would like to get to work on the story... that is if i am the one doing it ^^

 

[redscores]

We need a fixed terrainer and a artist.

 

[D a w n]

hm....I could make some models for you

 

[redscores]

Hm, I dunno if we need models, but okay, you can join :O

 

[D a w n]

well....maybe you find some use for me

else I can help you with ideas or something else

 

[redscores]

Yeah, okay.

 

[AdzYboy]

by the way if we need a forum just say... i am admin for one that we can use

 

[redscores]

We would need more a connection with IMs.

 

[redscores]

Bump

 

[Jackle]

Hey man, I checked out your battle system, nice job, very final fantasy. I'm looking to create a turn-based RPG also. I can do ideas/stories I'm not PERFECT terrainer but I am pretty good.

 

[redscores]

Show me some of your work and we might get a deal.

 

[Jackle]

Sure, I'll make a little map of all of those things incorporated. How long are you going to be online? Cause I'm going to get my haircut, and I've got business at around 4, if I don't finish this map, then I'll upload it at around 6 or so.

Just pastebin everything and then pm redscores your stuff

 

[Jackle]

That's what I was thinking about doing. But thanks for the suggestion +rep.
Red, i pmed you my little demo map.

 

[The Twilight]

I'm sort of good at story writting... here's a small promp:

The burning land of Kel'oth has seen nothing but murderous war for the past twenty years. The human nation of Kilon once stood proud, a symbol of righteousness and justice. The Elven Nation of Hith, once a capital of fairness and intellgence, but now each nation stands in peril. The foundations have begun to crumble with each, none knowing what the enroaching darkness will strike for next. Towns grow desperate, families in hiding, none to trust except yourself. In this war, you must choose your friends wisely, or become one of the dead, betrayed by your own, or slaughtered by the enemy.

 

[redscores]

Sounds good, but I dunno if 2 story writers are so good...

We need a good terrainer...

 

[D a w n]

I think 1 of the story writers could work on the heroes/units and 1 on the story.....but yeah we need terrainers

 

[The Twilight]

I'm decent at terraining, not the best though. I do fair with triggers, and balancing heroes out.

 

[redscores]

Give a example for your terraining.^^

 

[The Twilight]

Okie dokie...Let me get the screenshot.

 

[The Twilight]

Nothing fantastic or to write to home about, but I consider it fair. I'm working on a map (Tinker Wars), so they're just samples from that.

 

[redscores]

Hm... you could do the terrain, but afterwards I will edit the terrain if there are some weak points, this is my terrain showcase: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/f267/redscores-terrain-showcase-85324/

To Show you that I know what I do.

 

[AdzYboy]

working on story at the moment... sorry for starting so late but i had a big game project i had to start had to write a game pitch for a studio.

 

[The Twilight]

Alright, I'll be on and off. Just tell me when I need to get to work, I would like maybe a an area list, low level to high level, and what terrain/weather, or what the region is like...

 

[redscores]

Well... the map will be based on my round-based system, so you will randomly encounter battles in the RPG.

 

[D a w n]

I just started to play FF X again to get some ideas for buff and Debuff sfx :>
(I think some of them can have ingame sfx )

Edit: finished 2 sfx: haste and slow:

I have attached the haste model as a gif so you can take a look at it.The slow is basicly the same, but the blue things are red and the clock moves backwards^^

 

[redscores]

Looks cool dustin, we absolutely will do such slow effects,... the problem is just that our system uses no ATB-Bars, so we need to find a direct effect.

 

[D a w n]

what do you mean with direct effect??^^

 

[Paladon]

What kind or "art" would you need?

 

[redscores]

Well, loading screens and such, and I may need a additional spell triggerer, because we will have a LOT of work for a real RPG! I want to reach the standard of Final Fantasy 8, which has quite many, and I think there should be some summons, like the guardian forces.

@Dustin: I am talking about the effect of the "slow" and "haste" spell, like what they do in a combat.

 

[D a w n]

ah ok: I had something in mind:
for the slow spell: just the ingame slow animation(maybe the red aura thingy version^^)
for the haste spell: an anti slow aura or the blue mana aura

Oh and the clock has birth,stand and death anims so you could also use them as a spell effect

btw: I´ll just pm you these now

 

[redscores]

I am talking about what they change in the combat...

 

[D a w n]

ah ok now I got it xD

Edit: If some1 has any other ideas for buff or debuff models---->pm me your ideas(or write them as a visitor message)

 

[AdzYboy]

Hey guys, work has begun on story now.. Will be done soon. Gimme a yell if you have any ideas/demands

cheers

 

[redscores]

We absolutely need a poison model, like purple bubbles.
