Game development project anyone?

[lempkee]

restore: putting a team together, a job for me..but it would be even more work than beeing the main programmer for it, keeping a team inspirated and happy is one of the hardest and maybe the most important thing there is.

i am saying that as an experienced man in the field, and sadly alot of people jumps ship when it gets hard or boring or just simply nothing happens..

anyway is it gonna be a commercial game?, someone needs to make a overview of the plans and then get the people, but i guess u need a leader first.

herosIV does look good indeed but i liked heroes 2 better in terms of playbility etc.

....yaaawn ser ut for at eg må ta meg en tur till flotmyr

@restore

I have an old game engine I was working on a few years back.  I'll dig it up if you'd be interested.  It's a 4-way scroller RPG similar to the old Final Fantasy series or Pokemon.

Lempkee: U seem more than qualified enough to be leader of this project...

Ur right, Heroes 2 was better than IV in terms of playability, im thinking of merging the best out of the two games.

btw du kan stikke innom en dag, jeg jobber 12/9 skift, denna uka har jeg fri  :-D

Not sure yet if the game should be commercial or not, i know there is a demand for a game like this, this can be further discussed

Here is a combat scene:

yeah it still looks sweet and all but ah well its a pc game... so...bleh stop please...stop

[restore2003]

Ok, i`ll stop  :-)
But ok, here is the plan.....

The team needs a leader: candidates?
atleast 2 or 3 programmers: candidates?
2 or 3 skilled graphic artists: candidates?
1 or 2 music artists:  i will be contributing here
1 to provide sufficient amounts of coffee and doughnuts  :-D

[Speelgoedmannetje]

I want the programming part, but I do not have yet programming experience with Amiga, mostly experience with PLC's and Delphi (and a bit Java)

[Magic-Merl]

I thought "lempkee" had become the candidate for team leader/co-ordinator.

I'll give it a go.  Any thoughts on how this should all come together?  The team leader needs to act as the pool.  To gather all the resources provided and allocate planned tasks to each member of the team whilst providing the pooled resources to each team member?

Come on - any other candidates.

@ Restore,

I'll offer my services for console design and 2d artist, but I live state side, so I'll pass on the coffee and donuts.  ;-)  If you need music, I could throw some together, but only if it's 16bit or higher.

If you tell me what you're looking for in characters and monsters, I'll start giving it a go at some conceptual sketches.

[restore2003]

Magic-Merl: Lempkee will give the project the kickstart it needs to get started, he has friends in high places so i`m not worried  :-)

Methuselas:
All the characters and monsters must be based on mythological creatures, like the ones in Heroes IV, like cyclops, medusa, griffin, elves, dwarfs, mages, genies, dragons, crusaders, titan, etc etc, and the usual undead, like skeletons, witches, vampires, etc etc

[restore2003]

Also like to point out that this project needs a webpage, so if anyone with a heart of gold......  :-)

[Methuselas]

@ Restore.

I am assuming that since it's an Amiga game, flash is out of the question. I can throw together a basic web page for it, but I need ALOT more information to go on. You'll have to provide server space, though. I have some, but it's not guarantee how long I'm going to have it.

As for the conceptual drawings. Are we talking about finding individual characters, similar to Ultima or Baldur's Gate, or can you just pick up anyone. The reason I'm asking is it's simpler to draw, say Glorion, the Dwarven Priest, or Elven Archer than to have do character sketches for EACH person in the game.

Send me an email on what exactly you're looking for in the web page and in concept sketches and I'll see what I can't do to throw something together. I will say that you're wanting armor and weapon design, it's going to take alot more, 'cos I'll have to do alot of research on the various armors  amd weapons of the past.

More info, please. I have plenty of storage space in my memory banks.

 :-P

[restore2003]

No, i`m not talking about finding individual characters, so u just make them up, btw i sendt u a mail, sure u got it before u see this message  :-)

[lempkee]

guys, no i havent actually taken the job since i am too occupied but since i live very close to the guy (restore) (5km) , well i will atleast help him out with a structural base, and as time goes maybe we will hangout and then i will give more info etc.

anyway get some people in on it and i am game enough, i will call you tomorrow restore and maybe meet ya tmorrow for a blast.

anyway , the team thats needed must be aware of that it will be time consuming and realitive up and down on the inpsiration front , so basically i would say it wont be easy but it sure will be fun!.

cheers

PPS:and if there is people who want to be managers or whatever let restore know so , i will atleast try for now (if i have the time)
