I do think the whole 3D game will be very hard, well not so hard if the correct engine and libraries are used, but take a very long time to develop.
I'm up for a 3D game, but I do feel we need to start smaller and to get to grips with what this will entail exactly. Like has been suggested a 2D top down, or isometric game would be good a start. Something like the old school Myth Of Soma or Legend of Mir?
Sounds good to me. And with web based trading / player ranking etc![]()
So would this be a single player game that updates a central database with your character info and items you wish to trade?
Or a game where everyones is together? e.g. MMO?
I think the single player one to start with then build on it to an MMO level?
Yea thats what I was thinking. Building a world for many players at a time and the communication between clients and the server/servers etc is very challenging. Once we get the world working for 1 player we can think about expanding it to multiplayer.
We just need a forum with different sections with smaller groups to discuss each thing
IRC channel stuff isnt viewable after as far as I know.
Hmm what about a shmup it fits a lot of the ideas so far and everyone likes a good shmup
I quite like this idea actually, because a shmup would be quite easy to modularise - we could have different people write game logic for different enemies and powerups and such so the work load could be distributed quite nicely. We could even have overclocking themes in it, too. We wouldn't have the overhead of working in 3D, either, which I know is a big concern about the project. Also shmups are awesome.
and the last boss has to be gay president lincoln
Edit: Dwelling upon it more I'm liking the idea more and more. We should totally do a shoot 'em up.
imo we would better benefit the joomla site but I dont like the fact it has a seperate forumit does give a feeling of segregation
