Game Development Team (Thread 3)
The old thread is getting pretty damned cluttered...
Quote:
---------- Team Name: BLADESTAR PRODUCTIONS ---------- MEMBERS Director - Wed-G 2 Programmers [Original Sin, Wed-G] 2 Graphics Artists [Aurvian,?] 1 Animator [Draco2003] 3 Writers [?, Lenny, ?] 2 Map Designers [Wed-G,?,?] 2 Resource Gatherers [?,?] 5 Beta-testers [Mr. Medieval Bob, Wed-G,?,?,?] 1 Webdesigner/Webmaster [Original Sin] 1 Concept Artist [Aurvian] 1 Character Designer [Aurvian] 1 Game Engine Developer [Wed-G] I don't know the rest so...if anyone does, PM me and I'll stick 'em up...easier than lots of random posts about who's doing what... And one especially for BC: 1 Honourary Question Answerer/In game Random Tutorial Guy [BlueCube] Those who may still want to join us all: Quote:
---------- We are either using RM2K3, or RMXP... If we can program the RMXP script to allow movie cutscene things then we will most likely use RMXP. ---------- COMMUNICATION So, time lists: Me - GMT Aurvian - GMT -5 Draco - GMT -8 Wed - GMT -6 I'm on all 4 messenger things (ICQ, AIM, Yahoo and MSN) as is Tyran. Aurivan is only on AIM I think. And Wed and Draco are on Yahoo. Sign up for Yahoo mail here. All you need for Yahoo messenger is the email address that sign-up will give you. You don't need to download the messenger program. You can find it at www.e-messenger.net. Log on with the username and password you signed up with. ---------- Some chipsets I think we will be using in the game: (BlueCube note: charas-project doesn't like direct links to their resources, so normal hyperlinks will result in a 403. Removed URL tags. You'll have to copy/paste these, but you'd have to do that anyway to get around the 403.) (Lenny to BC note: Whenever I edit this post to add new info, rectify old info etc. then the url tags keep on coming back...will removing the "http://" work permanently? If it does, then I'll remove them and tell people...) (BlueCube to Lenny to BC note: There's a "Automatically parse links in text" checkbox while editing or posting - uncheck that and you can leave the http:// in. It doesn't matter much anyway, http:// is pretty much deprecated nowadays.) (Lenny to BC to Lenny to BC note: So there is. I'll use that instead then. Thanks...in fact I won't use it. I've got other links that needing parsing...I'll stick with removing the http://) Read the above notes to see why the "http://"'s have been removed...

I don't know... Wed, I think, is writing his script with the third writer?? I don't know whether it is completey independent of what I'm writing or whether he's putting my thing into script thing...the discussions in the previous threads weren't very enlighteninig... ---------- The previous threads can be found here: Game Development Team (Thread 1) Game Development Team (Thread 2) ---------- A nice little summary by Draco: Quote:
Well, that's all the main things. Attached is the latest version of "The Power Pernicious". ---------- Sorry for one helluva long post but... |
If the name is blade star I can prob change the logo by adding an L or someone else can isnt to hard

I really want to do the game in 2K3. Besides, I don't have an XP capable comp. WINDOWS 98 G! uh...yeh.... anyway. And *summons bluecube* bluecube, grab a charset and post it. I need a char file fo u. I like RM2K3 better so lets do it in that. XP is so more customizable, but lets stay with our fans who play legal games... Legend of Legaia? man I need to 'play' more RPG's |
Well, if you're hurting for people, I can beta test... They're usually in great supply, though, so... Just whatever. Do I need to send an email?
|
You could do if you want...how you'd show you can beta test I don't know...:p...maybe you can take some kind of test...???
I don't see any reason why you can't, so if Wed says yes, then welcome aboard Mr. Bob. |
I had a list of games I've been in beta (most open some closed) of somewhere...
Planetside Diablo 2 WC3 TFT Neocron Savage Prisontale Lineage 2 It's about 3 times as long as that if I could find the list... Though that doesn't necessarily say much. |
To me that seems more than enough...
Is it possible to move anything that isn't of great importance to the game (say it doesn't help us progress in any way) into the previous game development thread?? Also, if possible, can you rename the previous two threads as Game Development Team (Thread __) and then it's number, 1 or 2...??? I would ask Blue, but you're the nearest mod...:p |
I'm only a mod for the off-topic forums. You'd have to get BC, a supreme mod, or an admin to do it for ya.

I got a test Bob could take. We could have him proof read a quick article with some intentional errors, and see if he passes that. Then stage 2 could be someone that throws together a quick game, with problems, and he could debug (by debug I mean write down what was wrong with it and let someone else check/correct it). And stage 3 would be critique the game. If something worked, but coulda been done better (coding or other) then he could make suggestions, and if the team sees it as a better option, then they could use that.
I havent made that drawing of my character yet. For some reason I cant draw him anymore. I try and try and try and he always looks messed up. Plus, even worse, i lost my scanner so I cant upload anymore pics I draw. Anyways, thanks for the RGSS sites, that is a very interesting thing, and I am trying to learn it. I might not be able to be the Animator, but I dont wanna be completely dropped from the team. I need a new computer at home, so, yeah. Until next time, fellow members. EDIT: I am -8 which is Pacific time, and I can chat, if that would help. My SN is, you guessed it, Draco2K3. |
How's the scripty thing going for our game?? And what's savagebob's role in the game making process?? He seemed to appear to be with us for a few days, and we haven't heard from him since...
|
*looks around* Nobody's given me anything to do... If I'm a tester, I need something to test...
|
Whatever sounds good. We can go ahead and skip that first part, though. Everybody knows I'm a grammar whore.
|
He he he...what happened to grammar nazi??? :p
---------- The game is still in the stage where we are writing the story...or at least, I know I am...you'll probably be waiting a few months at least before you have something to test, and even then, it will prob only be a demo. I don't know how good you are at knowing a good RPG when you see it but...you could judge us on that...also, look at thread two. If you have any expertise in the field of party member attacks etc. (their classes - (taking FFX as an example) such as: Mage (Lulu), Healy person (to some extent Yuna), swordsman (Tidus and Auron), thief (Riku), big blue guy...:p - I can't think what our character should actually do (Kimarhi <-- come on grammar nazi, I'm sure I've spelt that wrong...)...and member 6...) then please help... |
Well, next to compelling storyline, originality is always key in my books.
For example, I never liked Gau in FF6 because I thought he simply wasn't as useful or versatile as the other characters. I did, however, love how different from the norm he was. The same holds true for Relm. If you're just looking for good suggestions, I'd say either a tamer with animals to attack or a builder that can make robots or something to battle for him. These will all have to fit with your storyline, though. I say work on the characters, their backgrounds, and the storyline, and make their fighting styles come from that. I'll read the other threads today and tonight. I don't think I have time to sit and read that much all at once at work. |
Also, I've read a bit of that word document that you put up. If you want somebody to hit it for grammar and suggest rephrasings, I'm a damn good proofreader.
|
Please do check it. All of my friends know not to read anything I've written so they leave anything I write well alone...:p...so I'm the only one who checks my things, and after writing into the early hours of the morning well, one can't proof read properly...and I find reading my own things kinda boring...
---------- The tamer idea I think will be good...I've been a thinking that the party meets up with some travelling thingy or other...and the tamer guy can be with this travelling thingy and ends up joining the party for a reason unbeknownst to us all...:p |
Savagebob's role is co-programmer... though thats just a title... he hasn't done crap but draw that picture. And I don't mean to be rude to him, but I am kinda sore right now.......I FELL OFF HIS HOUSE!
EVERYONE! I used some color to get attention.... anyway. I know we've been workin on this for a long time, and to tell the truth it is awesome to be a part of this. But my haitus from the game is foreshadowing... In about a week I shall upload my engine for the game along with several in-game note I have made. I need about a week to fine-tune it. I shall get on often to talk about it, but for now all you really need in the game is a scriptor. The engine is perfectly ready for someone to just plug-and-play so to speak. But for now it is my deepest regret to resign... but I shall be here in spirit. Edit: The reason I am resigning is because I have absolutely no clue what is going on... The story and plot and character choice has fallen through my fingers. I have no grasp of reality. *twitch* *twitch* *spasm* |
Did you have something in mind for the story that isn't being done?

I might still Director all over it. But I doubt it. All you need to do to make the engine work properly is use the predesigned event starters. Like the one that makes the HUD display or disappear. Or the battle start. But that is in the CBS(custom battle system to Newbies) version. Which mine is Non-CBS. ANOTHER ATTENTION: If the future programmer needs a CBS tell me NOW! I am about to finish the Non-CBS version so I need to know now! But to all who need to know, Lenny is the Project leader from now on. I shall not return as a leader but as a fellow advocate to your game.

Hey, Bluecube is there anyway that you could delete those post made by savagebob on the first page. Those were made by me and it just makes me look stupid... or two guys at once. |
Done
Done with the savagebob pruning thing.

Is there anything we can do to get you back?? For one, this is your idea, I for one would like you to see it blossom and turn into something you can be proud of, and also we need you to do the things you have your name down for...writer (turning my thing into a script that can be made into a game), map designer (so far you seem to be the only one with ideas for maps. Heck, it may be taking place on some crazy world I've dreamt up, but I haven't the faintest idea of landscape etc.), and everything else that you've done - such as create this engine for us.
If there is absolutely no getting you back...then can you be a beta-tester for us??? Please?? It would be great to have someone who actually worked on the game to try out the finished product...and then you can still be part of the team, and give us ideas and ways to make it better etc. once you've tested it...make it more like your ideas... ---------- Before you leave completely, can we update the members list??? I've been meaning to ask you about for a few days now, but you haven't been around to ask... Who is doing what?? We've got people doing things that aren't on the list and things on the list not being done... Director - (Do you want to carry on as director Wed??) 2 Programmers - Tyrannicide, C-Words 2 Graphics Artists - Aurvian,? 1 Animator - Draco2003 3 Writers - ?, Lenny, ? 2 Map Designers - ?,? 2 Resource Gatherers - ?,? 5 Beta-testers - Mr. Bob,?,?,?,? 1 Webdesigner/Webmaster - Tyrannicide 1 Concept Artist - Aurvian 1 Character Designer - Aurvian 1 Honourary Question Answerer/In game Random Tutorial Guy - BlueCube Any positions marked with a "?" that you know have a person occupying them??? |
Director - WILL REMAIN WED-G, HAHAHAHAHA!
2 Programmers - Tyrannicide C-Words(I think. He hasn't posted in awhile.), Wed-G 2 Graphics Artists - Aurvian,? 1 Animator - Draco2003(Is he with us?) 2 Writers - Lenny, (Was Wed-G) 2 Map Designers - Wed-G,? 2 Resource Gatherers - (Was Wed-G),? 5 Beta-testers - Mr. Bob, (Wed-G),?,?,? 1 Webdesigner/Webmaster - Tyrannicide C-Words 1 Concept Artist - Aurvian 1 Character Designer - Aurvian 1 Honourary Question Answerer/In game Random Tutorial Guy - BlueCube Lenny you are now the team leader, which means YOU have to find the people that we need. It is no longer ME. I shall remain as a Director, programmer and as a map designer. Maybe a beta-tester. But the responsibility is now yours, Lenny, so get to crackin'. I can't get online as often as before, but I still will contact everyone once every other day, most likely. And for my other jobs. I need to know what to do. You are the leader so tell me what to do. I can code the intro(from your story), Design the maps for it, and Direct it(give characters emotions and stuff...). Just give me a story. |
Okily Dokily.
I thought that Tyrannicide and C-Words were seperate people...:p...Tyran hasn't posted in a while as he was banned for something or other. It's nice to see that you are still going to be involved in some way...:D ---------- As you are on, any ideas you particularly want to see in the game?? In fact, any ideas at all for the game, not just ones that you would kill to see in the game?? ---------- How's the game engine coming along? Is it possible that we can have some screenshots?? You've got me all excited about it... Also, does it come with/with the option for a map thingy (such as that in the Final Fantasy's)?? ---------- You're a life saver! We need scripters - to put the game into script form, and put the cutscenes into script form (whoever does this may be working alongside Mr. Bob, I don't know yet, he's still to get back to me). Do you want to do either?? ---------- Right, time to edit the member list... |
(Posted in GDT 2.)
I like the names, like the idea about playing as the gaurd and I think we shouldn't play out the game as one character, but as several. Like Lenny's idea about play as a guard at one point. You can help him, or you can't. Either way Raphael ends up in the castle room resting. The game should play out as several characters during cutscenes. But you can play them. Very open ended... Damm, now I wish I was still the leader. Edit: I read the part about Raphael being a mage... hmmm... I've never heard of the main character as a mage. But, its a good idea. But also, why don't we make a job system, sort of. Like (FF5?) and FFX-2 where you put on different clothes and you have different abilities. If you like this idea'o'mine, then tell me and give me a list of things to add to our game like, for ex. Raphael(Mage) abilities: LV1: Fire, Water, Lightning, Ice LV2: etc... Raphael(Lancer) abilities: LV1: Joust LV2: Lance Spin LV3: etc... This way we could make it alot easier with the menu. For ex. If you equip Raphael with a Lance and he is LV4 with the Lance outfit, than a certain lance is equipped to him. He can now do certain abilities and has certain skills. Man... this is cool... I HAVE FOUND INSPIRATION AGAIN! |
The engine is going good. If there are no problems I might have it up by Monday. Maybe. But if not I will have it up by next saturday.
The first version I am making isn't the one used in the game. It has no custom menu do to an error on my part. |
Okie Dokie.
We need a new position - Game Engine Designer...that is, if you wouldn't mind occupying it Wed... |
Quote:
|
:D
I'm thinking of splitting the writers positions into scripting positions etc...a little reshuffle if you like... You're still director, so you've gotta give it the go ahead first... The new position list will probably be as follows: Director - Wed-G 2 Programmers [Tyrannicide C-Words, Wed-G] 2 Graphics Artists [Aurvian,?] 1 Animator [Draco2003] 1 (and maybe another) Writer [Lenny, (?)] 2 Game Scripters [?] 1 (maybe 2) Cutscene Scripter(s) [?, (?)] 2 Map Designers [Wed-G,?,] 2 Resource Gatherers [?,?] 5 Beta-testers [Mr. Medieval Bob, Wed-G,?,?,?] 1 Webdesigner/Webmaster [Tyrannicide C-Words] 1 Concept Artist [Aurvian] 1 Character Designer [Aurvian] 1 Honourary Question Answerer/In game Random Tutorial Guy [BlueCube] 1 Game Engine Developer [Wed-G] |
Another thread bump...:D...and a double post but...ah well...
Wed, how does the new positions table thingy look??? Also, what happens when we have finished this game?? Do we disband and go about our own things again? Or do we make another?? I've got an idea for another game. Another one set in the Worlds of Muldrum...Aluirian gets a feature in it...what it is, a group of people travel the seven worlds of Muldrum looking for the hearts of the worlds to link them back up and allow people to travel bewteen them again. It's an idea of mine that they appear in the different books I'm writing...which includes Power Pernicious - the group stumbles upon Raph. and Cecily in one bit... The book part I'm writing is called The Power of Seven...if that helps...:p |
Umm, I thought I was the new Webmaster/designer since Tyran ws banned?
|
You are...I've forgotten to change everything, that's all...:p

Ehm a few of your jobs are the same and some are left out Backdrop Designer Battle Set Designer (I think thats me though not sure since you asked me to make the battle sets for the atks you made) Battle Animation Designer/Programmer (person who will implement and design the actual atks in the game) Weapon Designer Tileset Designer Panaroma Designer Those are left out.... Ehm the Writer and the director need to work hand and hand with the cutscene person (so you and wed are automatically assigned those jobs... thats about it Also we need to dicuss Mini Games/Subquests And thats about it |
Subquest and mini games can be fun, but we need to be as original as possible.
Example: You can pay to learn to play the piano. After a while you can play it on your own and find music sheets with songs you can play. After you are good enough(high enouh skill level), you can play in bars and such for money. Stuff like that, but it would have to make sense in our game. |
