I would like to help write the story/script for the game when we have an idea of what we are going to do

Would you be interested in working on a mechwarrior/starsiege kind of game?

Or something like an RPG?

Do you want me to be designer too if we don't have a designer?

Yes if need be and i don't mind what kinda of game as long as it has some kind of plot behind it, and I don't believe we're doing a FPS or Street Fighter clone, so that shouldn't be a problem even so they have plots even if they are miniscule

Do you have any game ideas?

Not at this moment but if you pick a direction to attempt to create a game in such as an RPG for example I would, my ideas are generally genre based so I have ideas for games in certain genres but not just out of the blue

I also know someone who may be willing to help with the programming once we establish our direction from a purely programming standpoint I don't know if he will be able to help out with the creative process at all though

Okay, I think we will work on a 3D RPG. GarmGarf has also joined and will help out with designing game mechanics and such.

By the way, here are some screenshots of my game engine that I was talking about:

Some of the screenshots are older as I've been working on this for about two years now and the ones that say "Ogre" are from when I was trying to use the Ogre graphics engine.

I also hope we get some mappers that can use QuArK to make maps, because that would be very useful.

I'd be able to make some compositions for your piece. I'm new to the game development industry and I'm looking for a project to work on. What style of RPG are you looking to do and how many compositions would this project be looking for? I'd be happy to take part.

Hey ACWright. We're working on a mythical/medieval kind of action RPG. You can read on the forum some of the ideas we've had for the game (http://gamedev.polyfrag.info/gamedev).

The game could use something for the menu, maybe some music for when the player is engaged in fighting, some music for when the player is sleeping (which will be brief moments that will be fast-forwarded through), and maybe different music for different kinds of weather/settings (we will have a day/night cycle, and also will have fog, rain, snow, and clear/sunny weather).

A good choice of RPG style there then. I have also signed up to the forum and I should be able to start creating music for the project this evening when I have cleared out my workload that I currently have; Probably starting with a Menu theme and a Battle Theme.

I can help you on world conceiving and writing. Making a website for the game etc.
I am into browser based games 100% [travian,tribalwars,crims stuff] (player&developer)

here is the story of my game:
http://www.dieselwars.com/story.htm (I've wrote this down spontaneously within 15 mins, if I give more time to think I can give better stuff)
if you are interested in those services send me a pm and I will write you a demo story quickly.

Thanks dinojazz. I've sent you a PM.


By the way, if anyone would like to, the project could still use some modellers, texture artists, item/menu artists, character/item designers/concept artists, level/gameworld designers, and mappers. Also feel free to join if you want to help in any other way. The more people join, the better.
