Game Development Team (Thread 3)

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......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...

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?

Did you have something in mind for the story that isn't being done?

No, not really. I wanted everyone to add flavor to it. It wasn't just my story. It is all of ours. It is for the players. The story wasn't really what I cared about. I am a programmer at heart. I just said I was a writer so I could know how to script it. But the story has expanded beyond me. So all I can offer is the engine which I call the "Adon Engine"(stupid huh?), and my advice on what gamers want to play(whoopee).

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.

Edit:

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 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...
