Game Development Team (Thread 2)

Is it possible for us to have screenshots???

----------

I'm a gonna do the good news bad news routine again.

Good news. I'm still banned from the comp for a week. So I'm not allowed to go anywhere near it...naturally I am able to have max of an hour per day on it...

Bad news. No computer with fixed floppy. Haven't got it back yet...

Well besides this one Imma start one using 2k3 and experment with the scripting in xp... I think its kind of better game wise... I'll still work on this project aswell its just taking to long... o yea there is a way to put xp games online you just need a good server tho so it wont lag i think.. or use lan

I'll still work on this project aswell its just taking to long...

It's because none of us are actually communicating properly...and the fact that only a few of us are regular users, well...

----------

Right, good news, good news routine for the last time:

Good news: Last day of my ban today! YAY!!!!!!!

Good news: I'm am definately getting my computer back today, with a fixed floppy drive. So by Tuesday, you will have what I've written so far! And that's a promise...

I want to say I have created a cool looking logo for us while messing with 2k3 and xp, i forgot to load it up so ill show it tomorrow at around 1pm eastern.

It's because none of us are actually communicating properly...and the fact that only a few of us are regular users, well...

I think we are just a four-man team. we can still do it.

Imma hopefully get a new job this weeks so I can get my internet back... until then I'll just communicate through campus computers. Also I e-mailed tyrannicide to see if he is still helping... so we might be a five man team..

Nice

Anyway, a rundown on the engine. and I'm serious... this is all working systems. The base engine is an on-screen menu 1(numpad) move the cursor left 3(numpad) move the cursor right. 0(numpad) is the selector(changed during debug the other day.) the icons to select range from menu(CMS), diary(won't be completed until the game is completed[due to vast amount of entries]), and save game. It has a day-might system with a light-range system, depending on if you are inside or out. and a time system 1 minute is and hour game time. and the menu system is alot better

After messing with XP for awhile im think we should go to it most of its bugs can be fixed with the use of scripting. I've been playing with it seems easy plus if you have an error it tells you the exact line where it is present so...

Not to dis you or anything, but I thought a halfling was a short person. Half the size of a normal person. At least that's what it is according to D&D. Maybe you are going by something else?

your prob right I havent played buldersgate in awhile and I dont paly D&D (imma prob start since I want to have making games as a major)

Wed said that...not me......

Edit:

You beat me to it...

If we're gonna use XP, then we won't be able to have little cut-scenes...rm2k3 is by far the better (compared to XP), so I say we use that...it got the better battle system as well so...

----------

Aiiee...you edit your post too much, I gotta edit mine all over again now......in LOTR (book version) I seem to remember our Ent friend calling the hobbits halflings...so...

Yea true 2k3 is better at that... but it can be fix with scripting cause with coding I was still able to make a good cutscene it just goes by way to fast...
and the labels are all fucked up =\. they really need to come out with a patch. But imma start a new story on 2k3 about bounty hunters prob and knights....

Yo wedge I was reading a post in another forum and it gave me a great idea. Mix ffx battle system with legend of legaia... it be hot.
You know how when you fight your special bar goes up... well have it when its full and you choose to pull of a special you have to put in a certain command for a certain character. here is a quick example i made using paint.

Custom Battle System

And here is what you've all been wainting for!

The latest installment of The Power Pernicious!

----------

I haven't got much time so...

The guy in the cloak reveals Jason's real name (Raphael).

Where it keeps on flicking to a different place (the dark room with the guy who kills the other with magic, and the one with the ships). The force is the invasion force. I'll describe more when I got more time.

----------

One other thing. The Power Pernicious is something I'm writing, or have been writing since September. It is part of a series I'm writing called the Worlds of Muldrum. Which means that the story isn't primarily for this game, I'm letting it be used for the game. Change the names if you must, I'm keeping the as I want them. If you want to change the story line, then by all means do.

----------

Unless I feel extremely kind by the end of everything, then if the story is used, I'd like it if somewhere in the credits it could be said that the game is based upon the book "The Power Pernicious" by Lenny...we can sort it out later...again when I have the time.

Have fun picking over the story to bits as you get info for sprites and the like. Tomorrow I will explain what is happening in the story, and the scenes I have playing in my head and what I would do if changing this inot an RPG Game.

To say I don't have a lot of time, I sure am typing a lot...
