[Recruiting] Starcraft Galaxies

[Statharas]

Starcraft Galaxies, a massive MMO Project takes upon the storyline of the game and turns it in an MMO. Though, the story will play out in timelines. The first timeline is set to 2488. The Infested hybrids will be available for play after 2452 (Kerrigan's De-infestation).

Creating a character

Character creation will consist of many choices, such as a Race, Faction, and a member of said faction.
For example, a Protoss player could be in the Templar Caste, and a member of a tribe under that caste.

Current list:

Race	Faction	Tribe/Planet/other
Terran	Dominion (Starting off as Confederacy)	Waiting for list confirmation
Umojan Protectorate
Kel'Morian Combine
Protoss	Templar Caste
Judicator Caste
Executor Caste(?)
Infested	TO BE DECIDED. Post in this thread with your ideas, and if they're good enough, they might be picked!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gameplay:

The gameplay is set out in timelines, first starting at 2488. When the game reaches a more mature state, and closer to the end of Starcraft 2, the storyline will stay there and start off at Unknown Legacies of characters in the game. This means that the timeline will stay there until an event happens and the game progresses. At that time, new quests will be implemented, and more content will be implemented.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, all assets created for this project will be released later on for public use.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our current status: Building the engine and basic character models. And some mumbo jumbo.

The Male counterpart has also changed

News batch 4

Class Concept Update: We have already discussed about race specific classes, and we're proud to present you these:
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Psionic Terran: Psionic Terrans are Terrans that prefer to use their Psionic powers either in their pure form, or enhancing items with them, such as bullets.

Specializations: A psionic terran will progress through his training, but will choose which program to join. The Ghost program is mostly focused in enhancing deadly projectiles with psi-power, creating psi-blasts and more. The Specter program is designed to make a Terran more like Protoss, enhancing their own bodies to break human bounds. Last, there is the Phantom program, where Phantoms put their skills to use to improve the medical situation of their allies, and enhance their bodies to withstand more damage.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Templar Protoss: Templar Protoss are the counterpart of Terrans, which focus on their Psionic powers, or the powers of the void.

Specializations: A Templar Protoss can take on different paths, but is always allowed to choose which. The Nerazim Training will allow him to vanish and assasinate his targets with ease, an even give him the ability to transfer his body. The Khalai Training will improve his powers, allow him to manipulate his psionic powers to reach the highest output possible, such as manipulating the minds of weaker subjects or causing their neural systems to temporarily collapse. Last, there is the Neural(?) training, which will allow the protoss to mend most of their allies wounds, both physical and mental.

[RadiaNSh0t]

can u make it slightly more blue, or allow players for customization, just like protoss

 

[Statharas]

That's what's going to happen. Using Texture Swaps, the skin will be changed between variations. And the texturing hasn't even begun...

So, this way we will be able to attach gear like chestplates on the actual chest.

That looks really really good i look forward to it

Do you still need help?
I'm a mid skilled modeler/scripter (GUI)/Terrainer.

We could use your help

Just make sure to log on the chat whenever you can so that we can organize stuff...

 

[RiotZ]

Kind of got turned on by World of Starcraft? :\

 

[Statharas]

What, that Universe of Starcraft silly thing? Our project is actually resurrected. I used to work with Slaydon when we were in Worldcraft, but gave up on this and my map (Zergling Frenzy, look at my YT page on sig), and we quit WorldCraft (And TWIF had to find replacements x) )

 

[Bugz]

Kind of got turned on by World of Starcraft? :\

This and Woc is two different things

 

[RiotZ]

This and Woc is two different things

Yeah, I'm sure... Another thing I'm sure is I have no idea what WoC is. Any in-game screenshots yet?

 

[Bugz]

Woc=World of starcraft

 

[Statharas]

Yeah, I'm sure... Another thing I'm sure is I have no idea what WoC is. Any in-game screenshots yet?

Not yet, we are still working on lots of stuff, like models, triggers, etc. We prefer to give the mod somewhere to stand instead of having it fly mid-air.

 

[Statharas]

UPDATE: Was without a charger for a few weeks, now back online with a proper one.
(I had to use one that didn't fit in the socket very well, so i had trouble charging ma lappy)

Systems are progressing, namely the NPC system.


Also, added Voices in the list, as well will be using some new player sounds as well, and sounds for some quests.

 

[RiotZ]

Woc=World of starcraft

That's WoS dude, not WoC.

 

[Bugz]

That's WoS dude, not WoC.

Oh yeh... my mistake, i wrote it shit in the night

 

[Statharas]

I would like to announce that Slaydon has joined the team!
He shall be doing most of the scripting needed. And some other magic stuff.


Also, if you guys want to, we could use both an IRC or MSN for easier contacting and better organization(Pidgin supports both of those, so we can use one program for both).

 

[Bugz]

Sounds like you got a great future, i am gonna support this

 

[Statharas]

shiiK also joined the project!
Join #TKI on irc.freenode.com !
Also, we now have an official e-mail adress: [email protected]

 

[Skycraft]

This looks like a really interesting project.
That model you have made looks pretty good too, keep up the good work!

 

[RiotZ]

Wow, I was thinking... "This is just gonna be some other shitty mod for SC2."

But you guys got, Shiik, Misha, and Slaydon... So... Day-um.

 

[Statharas]

Only DSG is missing to complete the package of success.

 

[RiotZ]

Only DSG is missing to complete the package of success.

I haven't seen DSG do anything for a while. Love to see it.

 

[Dr Super Good]

So you got any more descriptive design yet on what you are after?

 

[Statharas]

Our target is a full of lore game, with proper mechanics in the Koprulu sector, where you can take course of events (Unless there is something going on with Starcraft 2 itself) in Multiplayer, with as many players as possible. Leveling up with your friends and using skills to complete quests, slay opponents in a PvP environment to take the course of events, own planets, and much more.


'tis good enough?


Also, a new table has been added with the races, factions and subfactions. Suggest what you think the infested should be.

 

[Statharas]

Project Updates: We got a test voice of a Protoss NPC, and we would like to know your opinion. You can find a link to it on the 2nd post.

Also, everyone in the team, contact me asap, I have to go on journey in the land of nointranetzandpoopyvacations. I expect to be back by the 30th of august or so.

 

[Dr Super Good]

nointranetzandpoopyvacations

You mean the United Kingdom? That matches this place prety well, from the crap hotels to no internet connections for tourists lol.

I advise doing voices towards the end of the project, when dialog is prety much set in stone. In early production stages it is not uncommon to heavilly revise the dialog (script) that is used. Infact, that is how many of the unused Wings of Liberty campaign voiced dialog samples ended up sitting in the one mod (final last minute change to the campaign).

 

[Statharas]

No worries, we're just making sure that there will be quality resources used. And we uploaded them so that people can have faith in us.

Also, if you don't mind, can you use img tags on misha's concept? I can't do that from my phone.

I meant in my second post. And no, my dad's house.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

What, that Universe of Starcraft silly thing? Our project is actually resurrected. I used to work with Slaydon when we were in Worldcraft, but gave up on this and my map (Zergling Frenzy, look at my YT page on sig), and we quit WorldCraft (And TWIF had to find replacements x) )

Oh, that was a HUGE loss xD
He cried for days /sarcasm

Still, nice to see your doing something for once. I hope something comes of it

 

[Statharas]

Most of it is planned. Once i get back home, i'll hold a meeting to discuss aboutour online content, and if we can find a few more people in the spots we need, we won't fail.

 

[Soul]

Hey, if you need some voices, I am willing to lend mine for the terrans.

 

[Statharas]

If you want, you can lend your voice to protoss and infested as well, but i'll list you as terran for now.

 

[Soul]

Well the problem with that is I have no way of editing the voices. If you guys were will for me to send you voice blanks and willing to alter them then sure, I will be more then willing to help play the other two faction's voices.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

If I may, audacity is free and surprisingly good at voice manipulation - I mean it's only simple things like pitch, tempo etc but combined with acoustic voice manipulation it can work some wonders! I managed to make a half convincing naga voice easily enough

You should try it out man, otherwise I'm sure Statharas knows an alternative

 

[Soul]

My comp is a bit weird with voice programs that aren't attached to a movie maker. Tried to get a program call Voicematrix and it never really did anything it was supposed it. I will try though just to see if it will.

Also to add to what your protoss was saying, made it more protoss.

"Long before the Terran walked within the spaces between stars, have our might and heritage been the vanguard of the Koprulu sector and its entire species from the vile threat of the swarm. Only have our numbers fallen of late but that does not mean our spirit has been diminished or weakened. No! Our spirit burns with the power of those who went before us, those who have died for our noble race, and those who have shown us how to become true Protoss warriors, remember that as you speak of us. En Taro Tassadar."

May do a voice to it later, depending on how people like it.

It works, and here is what I promised earlier. Enjoy and comment on it.

Anyway where is everyone?

 

[Statharas]

Damnit, phone didn't post the reply...

Anyway, i can do magic Human-Protoss and stuff. There's absolutely no problem on that part.

 

[Soul]

the sound or the GUI? Sorry, colloge got me fried.

 

[Statharas]

The sounds. How do you think i made that protoss thingy on soundcloud ?

 

[Soul]

Ok, I will do the voices then since the editor in Audity does not actually protoss. lol.

 

[Statharas]

Class Concept update, check out the second post, I want feedback on it.

 

[Soul]

Well, this is for the spell casting classes, pretty good. The neutral should be The Khala/Void since it is kinda the middle group.

 

[Statharas]

Well, it's more of a "Transfer your strength to allies".

Whoops, spoilers!

 

[Soul]

Ah, well the actual name for the Khalai and Void mix is Twilight. Tas and Adun are an example of this.

 

[Statharas]

We'll see about that, I have contacted a khalani follower I found in the terran-net, and i am waiting for his answer. Judging from his dedication to the Khalani, he might be the key to solving all of our Protoss needs.

 

[Soul]

He seems funly insane. Anyway, my account is Liefcraft.

 

[CloudWolf]

Sweet! That voice recording turned out pretty well

All the custom stuff for this mod is looking great so far, keep it up!

 

[Statharas]

Female Protoss WIP:

The Male counterpart has also changed.

 

[Foronisus]

Nice project you have here also i like the model too much Good job ill watch this project...

 

[Dr Super Good]

The model looks like it is very vertex dense. Remember that smoothness and details should be added via appropiate texture use and not though grunt model geometry. Where as textures are virtually time free, verticies are not.

 

[Statharas]

Remember that it's just a mesh

I can easily cut that down. And we ARE planning on making a really detailed game.
