Hi everyone! this is my first post although i've been hanging around watching for absolutely ages...

I'd love to help out in some way, i can do C/C++ (i'd say i'm proficient, but no expert)  I only have a classic amiga and a pc for now but i'm thinking there must be some platform unspecific bits that i could get involved in, right?

anyway, if i can help in my spare time (not much), chuck something in my direction!

Jim.

I see this thread has snowballed since I was last here :-)

So, whats the sketch? Is there design in place or is that yet to be finalised?

Karlos:

Need a solid team first, a team that wont give up on the halfway  :-)

Need PPC programmers, as this game will have 16-bit graphics, it will become too slow for a 040/060

Game engine:
16-bit isometric engine(ppc, graphic card)

So basically that means we need ppc programmers  :-)
Why ppc u say? well, it is the future of amiga isn`t it?  ;-) Thinking of OS4 and all......



I would love to code this game for you.
I have a lot of experience coding Amiga games.
My most recent game has the fastest gfx engine
of ANY AGA game ever,
Total Chaos

I will happily code this PPC 16 bit gfx game but I only have an Amiga 1200 68060 so I can't do PPC code on my system.  :-(
If someone will donate me an AmigaOne I'll get rigjt to work else I shall be stuck coding A1200 games forever and ever.
Wanna try a wonderfull strategy game with lots of handdrawn anims,
Magic Spells and Monsters, Incredible playability and lastability,
English speech, etc. Total Chaos AGA

@ Restore

I did a few sketches. One's a map that could possibly be used for the 'world', one is a simple pic of a changeling and the last is a pic of a dwarven, battle priest. I'm going to see if I can get them scanned tomorrow and if I can, I'll post them for you to see.

Methuselas:

Great  :-) I also need a sketch of an elven town, a middleage "human" town with a castle and surrounding buildings, and an orcish town. each of them with max 12 buildings.

Just an example:

For what ? I sure hope you don't plan to write this game in PPC-asm  :-o

What you would need are C(++) developers, who know the Amiga-API (and
a bit about game specifics, like KI).

Doesn't really matter wether that is coded on MorphOS OS4, or a real fast 68k
(read Amithlon or UAE), as all these should be enough.

Actually it is probraly far wiser to start with (emulated) 68k than trying to hassel
with the context-switches in PuP or WOS (I hope we can all agree that these
2 are deader than dead, when it comes to writing new SW  ;-)  ).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

So, any c++ programmers willing to build an 16-bit isometric engine for this game?

all the coding can be done on 68k and tested by ppc people, not a prob anyway and since kronos shouts so nicely in here, do you think feeble files is fast on classic FAST amigas ? oh damn thats 8bit even...

sure you could always do an 68k version but i dont think you will find a 68k coder who wants to do it in 68k + rtg and then do an extension for ppc later , as far as context goes KRONOS , check out where it was said os4..

and since os4 aint comming for 68k....  ok maybe you got the pattern now.

i dont see any problems getting such a game to play nicely on a 060 with mediator machine , but then you have all thoose who have 040 and 030 ...now thats where it hurts, they will most likely complain all day :)

also kronos , you have shouted in every forum that you think 68k is dead and that mediator (the only option really) is not worth it and tell people to go uae instead, waaaay supportive...  i am lost now...

restore:i suggest that you get all of em on board for now, 68k or ppc and asm or c++/ansiC etc.

junglejim,chaoslord,karlos etc , all who are interested or have stuff that might help jump start restores project, let him know with a pm/email.


oh and it aint set in stone yet which versions will be supported so i would encourage everyone to join. (68k , mos , aos , aros? etc)

my guess is that them who ends up within the team will set specs in stone based on their knowledge around the areas.

If you use SDL, then all of the above and more platforms could be supported.

Hi there Restore:)

I noticed you asked for free scenic-graphicians

Im the organizer in Scenic, and im afraid that scenic only makes gfx to demoscene-projects. We are currently planning/working on a demo based on a 1920'ies gangster-theme.

Still, if you get this project started, i promise i'll make you  a fullscreen intro/title-image (if you need one that is :))

Best regards

fuskoSCN
