Console or PC its dependent on whose whilling to join after hearing me out. I myslef am well delved in game design while not having any resume in game design to show give me a topic and I can give it a static or dynamic plot, I also know core C++ im still learning and would like to become well versed in visual console and PC programming. until that day all my ideas are on the back burner except this one becuase I know it could be hot now. Its is an RPG with a dynamic plot that the users interact with thus making each game different and unique thus requiring many programmers. as well it is visual so I dont know how to do that and need help and would like to learn, the RPG also offers a unique battle system that takes peices and parts of other battle systems to make one I really like, I am currently working on a plot flowchart and if the game is made the best way to have it released is to have it published which means money will be charged so here is my stance I will NOT make any profit off this game and if you wish too we can work out deatails with the comapny if that time comes but as projects usually do and because im a pessimist I dont see that coming around I just wish to tell this. any more info ask and I will respond.

im sorry are you being sarcastic? I know im new to games programming but I feel this can be done by the way you may be refering to the game so here it is:

Chronicles Of Fantasy:Orbs Of Kings
A chaotic and powerful sorcerer has come to decision that all evil can only be abolished by wiping away free will he has decided to acheive this by collecting the 10 orbs of power destroying the world and creating a new world full of drones. His father recruits the help of Zacirira a soilder in the Berian kingdom, also he recruits the princess of the kingdom (cliche huh?) Serina after the capital city was destroyed and all in it lost but those two and Zaciria''s friend tanks who decides to help. these two go around and various people join up with them to help, the plot is decided byt the user in direct events like talking to people, indirect events things you dont know your doing and random events to keep the game fresh and new with each new game you play (it is a long RPG so it would be awhile before a new game).

any more questions?

by the way I might get a website up soon, im not looking for artist or music people yet becuase I want a definent programming team and need to know whether it will be console or PC based but I know where to get some good 3D modelers, please dont disregard me because I cant program visually I know I can learn from this and that the project can succeed.

I have read the other posts so I know the flames before hand and the advice so hre it goes:
--This project is not techincally a paid project because payment is not definent (refer to first post)

--I have nothing to show yest but I will have plot and stuff when I find a good free host for the time being, I cannot show game progress becuase likle before mentioned I cannot program visually.

--I''m doing this because I learn better from doing large projects and getting explanations and working with talented real people.

anymore and I will happily respond.

Sorry, but no one is going to join a project they know nothing about. All you''ve given is the plot with zero details about the game itself.

here mechanics:

Battle System
The battle system in Chronicles Of Fantasy 1:Orbs OF Kings combines the battle systems of many games to form a powerful battle sytem that give a new level of interactivity and battle control to the user. The battle system is like that of RPGs like Zelda in the sense that it does not enter "battle" per say while still alowing you to trnasfer through spells quickly and abilities (jump, flip, back flip etc......). You may also switch through chararcters to fight with by simply selecting the chararcter object and tabing through. when a chararcter is not on your control they are put on a powerful battle AI set by you the game user. you may use combos of abilities for cool visual effects and to do more dmg. for instacne you can jump, flip and twist all at the same time while shooting a fireball to create a fantastic visual effect or you may jump and kick to do more subdual dmg.

this is a tatse of what I have designed to explain all would take too long please ask more specific questions I have no doubt its all possible.

We mean be more specific. Like what sort of combos are you talking about?

Also, what you wrote was pretty vague. Explain more of what you mean. For example, what do you mean when you say, "The battle system is like that of RPGs like Zelda in the sense that it does not enter "battle" per say while still alowing you to trnasfer through spells quickly and abilities (jump, flip, back flip etc......)"?

you fight battles on the world map you dont enter separate maps the words didnt come to me. also about combos instead of jumping then landing and continuing the next action this game would jump and if you activated flip the character would flip (while humping) and if you twisted while flipping you would twist and then you might shoot a fire ball as well, each ability is bought with AB points and leveled up with AB points the higher the level the better the abiltiy is whether it be longer or more accurate also some real life physics apply so someone cant be comboing for hours and never touch the ground.

ask questions before deciding I don''t want to lose people ''cause they mis understand me and on the same token I don''t want to think I have people then lose them because they didn''t like an idea I had but joined because they didnt know I have Mods where the team fell apart because of this and for the record so you don''t quit later becaue of this i''m 15 born july 8th 1988.

sorry for all the posts but I read the older things then post updates in hope of answering questions.

Why should I join up and help with this Project?

Chronicles of Fantasy 1:Orbs of Kings is a project that is vast and because i''m not very experienced you may ask why you should help me while there are plenty of worthwhile projects out there. This is a project that is worthy of decent programmers and will be a learning experience for me but I still contribute design, some models and functions that are not visual orientated as well I have experience in music and have friends that can do music i just have yet to ask them for help because as of now I dont need it I need programmers. This is a fun project and can make you friends for later on and if created could be used in resumees. there are many things that I lack and thus I do ask for someone with experience with running a team before help me by becoming a co-manager and helping me along.

if you have more questions just ask.

you should write up a design document, which details absolutely everything about the game design (in theory, someone should be able to make the game by reading the document, and not having to ask you anything).

that will both show that you have the determination and interest to go on with this, and also it is let people see what they are getting into.

You are at least honest about everything. Write up a design document, and then come back. People will be more likely to join if they have the details. Either way, good luck!

Jan 26, 2004 at 2:42 PM

well the website is up here
im sorry the forums page doesnt work but its not up anyways yet because this host doesnt support PHP. I will add the plot and game mechanics eventually but it takes time, I am definetly dedicated to this and hope people join.
