[Possible New Project] The RPG Engine

Post by **Apothem** » Sun Sep 18, 2005 12:48 am

Since I've been toying around with this idea... I think if I am really going to do it, I'll need a story line and some kind of world map to play off of. But I can't gaurentee that I really will be starting this as the vehicles concept was isn't done yet and I don't know how much of that I'm gonna do before I post-pone or scrap it.

So those of you who can throw me a good story line or at least a world map... NOW'S YOUR CHANCE !

I am your go-to man for fluff and world detail of all kinds. I just need to know what you're actaully trying to do, and I'll figure out soemthing to help.

I always have crazy ideas floating around my head as well...

Good to see some interested folks, Send me a pm with some sample work and we'll go from there.

EDIT: Suppose it would help if i gave you guys my email address...

As do I, and they usually end up as mapping projects

Just look at the "Grand Plan" thread for an example of my work. I'm not sure what you want, so I cannot really be helpful at this point. I can only guess you are working on a random encounter system, perhaps with a turn based attack thing built in. Cool.

the only real reason why I'm looking for sample work, because I'm also clueless as to what to do for a storyline... This engine will be a tad better than just 'a random encounter system with a turn based attacks' deal. It's going to be a good bit more involved etc, but I need something to play off of. As i really dont like mapping something like this without a real purpose. So something short, sweet, and descent is all I ask for.

Okay. I can understand how that might impede your project. I have a basic nugget of a plotline, but it will need some jacuzzi timeto get better

yay RPGness!

, I've been wondering when you'll start on this. When you first described it, it sounded pretty cool. I support this. 100%

Then help me map for it

What kind of map? just a small demonstration map? like a small sort of dungeonish tech map?

Well, I suppose to start off, I'll need a dungeon, but i'll also need a town to go with it. But lets focus on getting the main aspects together first, and the basis of the engine. This project will be a bigger programming project than the shielding system and probably vehicles combined, but the actual programming work will be easy... Conceptually at least. I'm gonna need to program in each individual player attack and combo sequence, along with camera routines etc... It's gonna be a big one.

Then do a dungeon, and I'll do the town.
