I have an idea for an RPG capaign but if I start making it alone I'm pretty sure it won't never get finished, so I would like some people to make with. I can do almost everything with World Editor (scripting, terraining, customizin units), but it would still be nice to have more people at the project. I don't want too newbie people to be part of this because I want this to be a good campaign... The idea is that the player is kind of avatar for the units her(/she) controls and he has his personal mana (or belief or something) which he can use to do different kinds of things... I'm not yet sure what those things are, but it shouldn't be a big problem to invent them. It's possible for the units to summon the avatar in some situations (then the mana is visible as the avatar's mana and some powerfull spells can be used or something). There would also be powerful creatures (like flesh golem and other golems) which can be controlled, maybe by the mana of the avatar. I imagined the normal units to be night elves, but I haven't decided it yet. There are also other avatars who control different kind of creatures (possibly need AI scripter here) and they also control big creatures. Missions could be like rescuing big creatures from enemy prisons or changing them under your control from enemy's control... Then we need a good and interesting plot line... Sometimes I can invent them and sometimes not... So I'm quite sure I need help! If you are interested, you could reply to this thread or possibly contact me at IRC (A1win @ IRCnet, QuakeNet and GamesNET). |

well, there was an old snes game with this same premise. you were a tribal god and could bring about disasters, land changes, and watch your civilization flourish, you could have that same type of thing, without the land changes and such, but thats beside the point, I wanna join, I'm a triggerer, need me? |

I don't know if I need a triggerer since I can make them by myself... Maybe, if it will contain a lot of maps... I haven't ever even heard about that SNES game :P One more thing... Time zone here is GMT+2 so that could be a problem if you live in, for example USA Quote:
I wouldn't say I meant the player to be a god, just an 'avatar' that controls the units like normally in WarCraft. But some differences would be nice, ofcourse... |

yeah, the time zone could be tough, central USA here, hehe, but, whatever suits you, Christmas break opens some possibilty... I'm a mediocre skinner and iconer, so if you really need someone there, I guess I could make some beta temps or something, just send me a pm, what exactly is the difference between the 2 time zones? |

First at all we need a story, because we can't make any maps before we know what they will contain :P If you have any ideas, you could PM me... Also, if you have ideas for the characters and the models for them, it would be nice to know. Someone who can customize units and abilities better than I (maybe anyone else at this forum x) is also wanted. And no, this is not yet a private conversation (yet), since I - or we - still need more people to join... If it's GMT-5 there, then the time difference is 7 hours... A lot, anyway... Maybe we can discuss this with private messages... It would be nice to use a forum but I'm not sure if it is possible to have private threads on this forum... |

lol, didnt attach it, here's the map |

Hmm... It's working (alomost), some bugs but they can be fixed... I could make that kind of spell by myself too if I needed one... I would say I'll make the triggers by myself for now. If you want to help me with the triggers or do something else then it's good if you join. I think I should start this by writing the plotline shortly and then making some kind of intro for the campaign. So the plotline is now ready, if someone else who wants to join wants to read it, PM me and I tell the url. Please don't tell about the plotline at least not at this forum and not to other TFT players x) Would be kind of boring to play a story that you know how it ends... I am not yet very good in making cinematics, so if you are better it would be nice to have someone with cinematic skills with us. Activity at IRC would be nice, since it's a lot easier to discuss anything at realtime. |
