Recruitement for a Turn-based RPG.

[D a w n]

ok. my iidea is to make some skull thing like the ingame one but with some more detail and well.....it will have a poison look

I will keep the sfx as cartoonish as possible

 

[redscores]

We need summons in the game, so a summon animation would be nice....

 

[D a w n]

hm....this could be more complicated because each summon should have its own animation.
Do you have something specific in mind or a youtube video??^^

 

[redscores]

No, we will see, what summons will be added.

And I have in mind that we'll do a real rpg style game! 1 player.

 

[D a w n]

that means we don´t have to care about map size

oh I had an idea for a poison effect: When the lich casts frost nova the target becomes blue. And I think it would be nice in the rpg if a poisoned unit becomes greenish glowing

 

[redscores]

Thats more about radiation... lol... more a green skull above the enemies head... or purple bubbles..


I created a attribute card for the units.

Hit Points
Mana

Strength
Endurance
Agility
Intelligence

Armor
Evade Chance

Fire Resistance
Water Resistance
Electricity Resistance
Nature Resistance


The Calculation formulas will be created later.

 

[The Twilight]

Alright, I should be all set for terraining. All I need is the storyline so I know what the regions should look like. If you could, describe the regions of the kingdoms/events so I know where grass should be, and where battle-worn land should be.

 

[AdzYboy]

Will have story done tomorrow, or a rough version of it. Sorry for taking so long, was wrapped up in alot of work. But its all smooth sailing now

 

[redscores]

Okay.

 

[The Twilight]

Alright, sounds good. PM me the copy once you've got a good rough draft. If Redscores wants to approve it first, that's fine.

If it's not too late to join, I could try to help. I can be anything you want, although my art skills, while strong with the paper and pencil, are somewhat weak with the mouse and screen. I might be able to come up with some interesting ideas for stuff, and, if you've already got a story, I could help work out the specifics of it. I also consider myself an OK terrainer. I can whip up a few samples for you if you want.

 

[D a w n]

It is never too late to join. Even if it is just for concepts for models or just ideas.(for example: thinking about possible concepts for some status buff models because I´m not that creative atm^^)

 

[redscores]

Well, we need a helper for ideas and such, we plan to implement a system with summons and such... so some ideas would be cool, like ideas for summons or elementals/spells.

 

[CoBrA b]

Sweet! I'll let my brain stew for a while and come to you with some ideas.

Oh, and is there anything else I need to know before I start coming up with ideas, like what sort of characters will be using the spells, etc.?

 

[redscores]

Well, Adzy is writing the story, and you will only have 1 character, and as character you can select a summon which you train atm, you can have many summons, but only 1 which you can use and train at the same time.

General ideas for summons would be nice, elemental based or different themed, but they should be cool.

 

[D a w n]

hm......I still have a blue snake with hydra texture based on my undead snake in my wc folder^^(but would still have to add some stuff)
maybe it could work as a water summon

 

[redscores]

It would need more stuff which makes it looking like a god, maybe collars, glowing eyes or something like that, or maybe a blue glowing body, maybe a water goddess, with some improvements.

Or more of a guardian snake... not a god..^^

 

[The Twilight]

Looks decent, love the snake.

 

[CoBrA b]

Okay, I've come up with some elemental summons and what they look like. Should I also include ideas for what sorts of abilities they have and stuff, or just leave them like they are and post them here?

 

[redscores]

They wont have "abilities", if you know how final fantasy 8 summons work, similiar will our work.

 

[Scribe]

As a matter of fact, I adore Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals.

Consider me in for the position of ideas, cinematic director and the narrative. I am keen to get involved in a narrative based RPG Map so I figured this was the best place to turn.

Send me a PM and perhaps we can sort something out.

 

[The Twilight]

How's the story coming along? Curious.

 

[I34w90_238j]

I can make triggers and systems, object data and work as hard as ten people.

I can hear you talking about combat, well, I can turn it alive among with the turn base and turn system. If you don't want me to take part in the project just say so.
Terrain: decent
Triggering: somewhat perfect
Storywriting: Ok
WE Knowledge: I know almost every aspect of world editor
Speed of Object Data Editing: Awesome
Programming Knowledge: None, but I learned pathfinding algorithms functionality and now I can make my own for any purpose.
Modeling: I can edit a model and do any operation with it, but not create new parts.
Skinning/Drawing: I can draw badly, in Paint and GIMP, but reskinning models is bad.
Cinematic Craft: Deep, interesting and cool. I have a lot of experience on cinematics.

 

[AdzYboy]

Sorry guys... HUGE road block happend to me in my life.. but got around it.. dont want to discuss it... as its a personal matter not a professional thing..

any way.. story done by tomorrow. I am basing it off a previous peice of work i did called the Chronicles of Medalianor.. was the basis for a map idea i had that fell through due to its size .. The Rise and Fall of Nations.

i just want to know what kinda stuff needs to be changed... do we want different races like humans undead orcs elves stuff? or do we want all humans... .. also what kind of setting would yous prefer... fantasy? medieval?

i am very enthusiastic about this project now and i look forward to hearing your opinions..


love Adzy xx

I think that doesn´t matter that much because I don´t see any problem if we repalce 1 race or another in the last moment. But I think it will be more like a fantasy map, but I´m not the chief

 

[jxtranghero]

i could help too...

 

[D a w n]

tell us what you could do^^

 

[AdzYboy]

well ive had 2 main ideas.. a) why not do it using warcraft 3 history

b) an actual story im writing about an epic fight between many different races.. it comes down to really that hte humans are the bad guys as they were the ones that started all the fights... the player is a human and they realise later that its all the humans fault.. and they have to kill the king.

 

[D a w n]

i like your second idea

 

[FFVII_Valentine]

Hey redscores,
I really like your Round-based Battle System V1.04. It comes across as very polished, clean and professional.
I see in your original post that you are not looking for someone to help with triggers (which is kind of my area), but purhaps I can help considering I have experience with making my own turn-based map. If you would like any help let me know, and if you could help me out too that would be even better.

I have a couple of videos on youtube; heres one of them:
YouTube - Final Fantasy VII Game Fan Made

And theres also a link to my map in my signature below.

 

[redscores]

We never said that the humans are the ones which you play, and whats about a cool new difference, a RPG where you play the evil guys, which fight for a target.

And we dont use Wc history.


Memberstuff: kkots is not in and all other who participated should write what they could do.


BTW: I am back.

 

[The Twilight]

I'm currently waiting on a story so I can get started on the Terrain...

 

[D a w n]

I think you could already start working on terraining starting areas. I bet we will have some pretty generic ones like a forest

 

[redscores]

Well, I guess we will start in a small village, but we should wait for the story.

 

[The Twilight]

I'll try to make a village, it might remain small due to the starting race still unknown to me. However, I will make it a human village with buildings easy to switch out. It will probably be built on forest for now...

 

[jxtranghero]

if its ok 2 all of you, can i handle the website page^^ iam lucky if u agree...

 

[The Twilight]

I'll place some units, you can remove 'em if you want when need be.

 

[Clix]

I can help with the art if you'd like, or anything at all.

Few examples of my work. [All sigs. ]

They're a very few of my work, but if you need me for something else I'd be happy to help!

 

[redscores]

What a damn web site page?

Never got any informations about that.

 

[D a w n]

I just got an idea for another elemental.(will be earth or something similar)

 

[redscores]

Okay.

I got some ideas, we maybe should implement a race which is very good with technicals, and one of those should be part of our group.

 

[The Twilight]

I know that you mentioned how having spells that deal with the elements would be cool. We could base the story/hero just on that...I don't know how's Ad going with the story... but here's just my imput:

Orc - No relation to demons, (no link to WoW), instead they are just humans who've been near volcanos/mountains for too long. They're earth-menders, shamans who practice Earth magic.
Human - The basic race, able to practice any type of magic, though they cannot master a specified race as well as the race that practices it. Meaning, humans cannot be more skilled in Earth than the Orcs.
Elves - Humans that have lingered too close to Arcane magic, making them main magicians of the Arcane magic.
Night Elves - Dark worshippers, once elves that dwell in demons and different necrotic studies.
Troll - Mostly nature watchers, considering they build most civilizations within the wild. Their kind were once humans but become more savage over years to come.
Dwarves - Descendants of the humans, a completely new race, works with metals and mechanics. Many Rune Magics.

As I said, I do not know what Ad has planned, but I haven't heard anything yet since we began. We can also call the races different names, such as Orc could be the Groun'ra, since they used Ground magic (Earth).

 

[redscores]

We wont do selectable races, it will be a linear build RPG, like a real playstation or super nintendo RPG, so you will get fixed races, like, all your characters are human... or maybe 2 humans and 1 elven or something like that... we mainly need the story... we dont need many different races, and there will be no classes selectable, every character will be better in a certain attribute.

The year is 2000 in the year of the Ragnark, The great prohpecies of kingdoms past told of a great tragedy. Ten years ago a Earthquake of epic proporations Ravaged the towns of this unfortunate Civilization, Little did they know this was just a random event of there worlds geology and the true fortold event is yet to come... The future heros of this world will fight for there people, Make great Sacrifices for there people, And most will DIE for there people. Ten Men Set forth from one village With one goal, to Confront the great evil which is spreading this land.


Right now this took literally 3 mins so its not very advanced but it is a basic Outline of a good idea. I know you have a good writer but I will assist if needed.
