Team name : Still Thinking (that’s the team name) Project name : MUSICa Brief description : MUSICa is a new type of MMOG, on which the main purpose of the game is to be a music star. The game will have some MMOG content, so you will level up or have quest and such, but in a bigger way. When creating a character, you can choose from a singer, guitar player, drum player, keyboard player and a few more. Once in the world of MUSICa, you can form a band, compete with other players, and compete with other bands “battle of the bands”, as well the having quests and battling monster and other MMOG functions. The monster battle is not the tradition one; monster will have feelings in these games. Therefore, if a monster might be sleepy then you can play/sing lullaby to the monster to sleep, if you are successful, the monster will give you either money or item otherwise the monster will attack you (for disturbing him). I also want to implement a popularly level in the game, so you might the popular in an area but not in other and once completing those tasks you will be rewarded. Target aim : Retail. Compensation : If we make money, you make money. Technology : C++ of course and OpenGL (creating own engine). Talent needed : Coders Modelers Animators Mappers Riggers Textures Concept Artist GFX Artist Public Relations Sound Artist Webmaster Team structure : Vegnadragon me: Modeler, Animator. Vible: Coder Magdreamer: GFX Aritst Lithium: Modeler Website : MUSICa Website website Contacts : Forum: MUSICa Forum Email/PM/MSN: danielsega2003@hotmail.com Feedback : Any [Edited by - vegnadragon on April 4, 2007 2:00:06 PM]

Can you elaborate on what you wish for your different classes? As in, what requirements are needed for each job?

I am somewhat interested in either the Webmaster position or GFX designer. I'm just not perfectly sure the extent of each.

Very interesting idea!!! It's nice to see a MMO project branching out and being original...instead of the usual "you are the lone hero that can save the entire world from this bad guy by using might and magic". :)

How would you do the battle of the band parts of the game? Would it be a timing mini-game like DDR Max or Parappa the Rappa? I can do music and SFX.

In any case, really interesting!! Good luck!

Sorry about that.

Coders: This are the guys the program the game, such as the interface, ai, physixs, lighting and so on.

Modelers: This people create model/objects in 3d, they create the character, items, monster etcs.

Animators: They animate the 3d models so that can walk, run etcs.

Mappers: These guys are going to create the world/map.

Riggers: Normally, animators do that but to speed up, these people bone (add bones and weight) the characters so that the animator can do his job.

Textures: They will have to texture the model.

Concept Artist: They will create the concept (idea) for the monster, items and other stuff so that the modeler can model them.

GFX Artist: This guy create the 2d stuff, duing the HUD, some special effects, some pictures of items etc.

Public Relations: They are poeple that go giving the word around for the game, they go to other site and post about the game, trying to get more members and a bigger community.

Sound Artist: They create the sounds for the game.

Webmaster: To create a better webpage, i am no webmaster but i can create something.

Yes it would be timing like DDR, Parappa and Bust-a-groove, but i plan to add some extra stuff like a super like bust-a-groove and some other stuff as well.

Well, a band is almost like a party on regular mmog. So you can create a band and challange other band, or you can go to special event (like a concert) that you will compete with others bands.
