Gimmie Those Wings! Update

Mare Kuntz · 2001-10-21T12:20:53

Hi all, I just felt like posting an update on my game project in case you all were curious how it was going. Actually my ulterior motive is that I'm finally ready to take some writers into the staff, so I want to give you all a good view of what my team is doing so you can see if you can work with it. The webpage is still in first draft and not uploaded to the internet. :/ But it's getting there. Same deal with the design doc. Look! A Pretty Character Design! Who is this character? Meet Spots! (Who will have leopard spots even though there aren't any in the above drawing.) Spots is one of the characters I mentioned in my character thread: the mysterious older lone-wolf who doesn't know much about relating to people. Naturally has the innate coolness that Scales works so hard to imitate. Graduates from Kindergarten before the others and has to wonder the world alone for a while - when we see him/her again in Part II he/she is in grown-up form. He/she suddenly finds him/herself adopted back into the other characters' circle of friends and finds this baffling but warm and fuzzy. ^_^ Is tentative and uncertain about social things from being alone. Self confidant in other areas though. Previously very introverted, now possibly becoming extroverted. Then he/she dissapears for a while again because he earns his/her wings before the others, maybe he/she had a fight with them before he/she left. So the main character has some adventures, and finally runs into Spots again - in the bad guy's house! Then the climax happens, and what happens with Spots is different depending on which ending the player earns - in one he/she's the evil overlord, in another glowingly pregnant, and other fun things in other endings. Spots is 2-4 years older than the other characters, so when he/she's in child mode he/she's 10 and they're 6-8 My first stab at 2D animation. It flickers at one point because it's actually only half of a run cycle - I wanted to test the look of it before I invested time in making the rest of the drawings. Miscellaneous info about the game, some of you have seen this before. So, anyone want to write some anime style humor and romance for me? The intro is to be a take on Romeo and Juliet - try your hand at it if you want. I'll be happy to answer any questions anyone has.

Then it makes sense

Do you still need programmers for your project?

I don''t actually know, that''s the problem - a guy told me he had an engine he could adapt to do everything we wanted in 3 months, but I haven''t heard from him in a week. I sent him another email asking what was up... I don''t know, I just wish someone would take charge of all the programming stuff for me.

I want to help design a "sandpark" MMO. Optional interactive story with quests and deeply characterized NPCs, plus sandbox elements like player-craftable housing and lots of other crafting. If you are starting a design of this type, please PM me. I also love pet-breeding games.

I would be willing to do so, but I am not a very experienced lead-programmer. I think I am up to the task though. How many other coders do you have?

I may be able to do some coding for you. I''ve been working on another project, but it''s falling apart. I''ll be able to tell you if I can help out by the end of next week.
