Official--Pirates of Anzion thread

here's a little about one of my new projects, and why you should care about it:

--THE PIRATES OF ANZION--

Concept--
In the mystical land of Terevell, machinery and magic exist. Terevell is a world of technology and magic, swords and guns, flying ships and sky-pirates (think of Terevell as say, Arcanum). Well, sky-pirates roam the skies of Terevell, stealing and pulundering from anyone they come across. But there is one group of pirates, The Pirates of Anzion, also known as "The Blades of Truth" who are by far the worst pirates. They pose a great threat to the kingdom of Terevell, and tthey target the royal navy and the king's shipment's mostly. You, as Nathan Hawk, are an ex-royal navy commander, and now lead a life as a mercenary for hire. King Garland of Terevell has offered you a job, to find a worthy crew and hunt down the dreaded Pirates of Anzion, and end their reign of terror forever.

This is Part 1 in the Pirates of Anzion saga (im planning a whole storyline to be made into different maps)

Features--
- A crew of distinctly different characters, each having their own unique abilities to pull you out of a tight spot
- A deep storyline, that's so epic, it rivals the best of the best
- Massive world, sprawling with opportunity to seek out
- RPG style combat, like that found in Arc The Lad: Twilight of the Spirits
- Many new items and artifacts, able to boost your character's abilities
- And More!

i need help with the skinning a lot, so that's mostly what I'm looking for: skinners!

peace--

aarrr pirates! sounds pretty cool. if you can get someone who does good geoset model editing ( for stuff like pirate hats ) ill be willing to help out with skins once you post some screenshots.

sorry, but i kinda forgot to mention that it isnt classic pirates like boat-sailing-sea-pirates, im talkin about like "sky-pirates" where (Think Treasure Planet, i kno lame movie, but they had flying ships) they sail the skies on flying ships. and i dont really want em with pirate hats, it depends...sometimes they might look goofy, tho id like to have it on say the main bad guy

first screenie: an early look at the city of Veranon, where you'll be spending a lot of your time... remember, this is an early stage. also, ive coded some certain areas of the map:

LEGEND--

KG= King Garland's castle
AR= Arena
CH= Church of Jarnon
GA= Gate

Good work so far. You should consider having a higher, fenced off district for the upper class and aristocrats.

Ha, this sounds a lot like Skies of Arcadia, what with flying ships and pirates. Will the gameplay be open ended with one objective and many ways to do it (like gettting lots of money), or will it follow a set story line?

set storyline and sorry for the delay of updated screenies, ive been busy lately, and shall update sometime

cant wait for this to come out! i like your style of planning, usually people dive head-first into games, stop a third of the way, and quit... but with your storyboard all set up, it shouldnt be much of a problem cuz you know what to do

and, what makes this even more greater, is that there's gonna be sequels, and a major cliffhanger (or what i think is) at the end of this. Pyrus and me right now are finalizing the storyline, and im continuing up the terrain. NOTICE: STILL NEED SKINS/SKINNERS FOR THIS PROJECT!! WILL GIVE MUCHO CREDIT TO ANYONE WHO HELPS OUT!!
