Quethim's website. I'm helping him out with it: http://members.lycos.co.uk/nevergreenroe/ The site isn't finished as of now, but you can access the forums directly at http://members.lycos.co.uk/nevergreenroe/phpBB/ BTW, the reason it is nevergreenroe is because just http://members.lycos.co.uk/roe was already taken. If you wish to access it later, the link is in my sig.
Prologue? That's nothing compared to this thread: Welcome to phpBB 2 -------------------------------- This is an example post in your phpBB 2 installation. You may delete this post, this topic and even this forum if you like since everything seems to be working! Oh yeah... That's great stuff right there. Here's the prologue too, just so no-one else has to defile themselves by visiting the site: Prologue Outline -------------------------------- This game is like a book, it has many chapters, the chapters are much much longer though, you start off in a prologue. Now, after you create your character (which will be discussed in the characters section) you start off in a school. This school isn't no high school or college or anything, it is a military school, training people in the art of war. Now, the reason for being in this school is because there is a war going on, the cause of the war is unkown but you will find out later in the game. Some president of another country decided to attack the country you are in (names of the countries are unkown right now). Now, why the president of that country wanted to start the war is unkown and no one knows why, but he has managed to get far into your country. Well, your school gets under attack by this enemy country and you're in the school. Everyone else in the school decids to retreat to some hidden bunker while you go and investigate this attack. This is where the game begins. You have to find your way out of the building, your only weapons is a simple pole. There are many enemy soldiers who you have to fight before you get out of the building. Once you get out of the building you see a man with red hair fighting three soldiers. The decide to help this man, who after the battle introducing himself as red, he mensions that he used to live in this village and you find out that he is your long lost brother. It then goes through this huge flashback about your family. Your father and brother were sent to war, this war has been going on for about ten years now and it was seven years ago when your brother and father left for war. Three years ago notice came that your father was dead and your brother was lost, no one knew what happened to him. Well, this isn't the end of the prologue, I'll explain more later 1) Can I ask, just how did so many bad guys get into your school? 2) Why are you the only one attacking them, when surely some other students would join in? 3) How come you can beat them with a pole? What, they're invading your country by throwing sticks and stones??
Hey, even though I made the website, it isn't MY idea. You will have to go and ask Quethim at RoE those questions yourself.
Ahhhhhhh! Xento, why theh hell did you show the people in here that web site! All they know how to do is flame other peoples imagination and stuff, it was a mistake to show them! You should know all these people by now! Now, to clear things up. I'm still in work on this little storyline of mine and stuff, it's not done. I'm just showing a basic OUTLINE to show you the basic start of the game, just wait..... Damn.... The main point for the forum is so people can help me out, since you all think I'm a plain out idiot who can do nothing in life and will fail life.... Give me some advice and stuff, ya know? I really want this game to be published, but being as if no one can appreciate me, I guess my dream has just fell down a hole and is lost forever now.... Oh well.....
Okay, Q, you want advice? This isn't going to get published, not if you continue like this. It's only going to get published if you actually make something, not if you just write up a storyline. Hundreds of books could be converted to games, but not all of them are. Do something about actually making a game, and then you'll have a slight chance of getting it published.
I'm learning some programming, so I am going to try to program, I'm also going to try to learn how to play some video game music and stuff! I'm also going to learn to do the graphics (something I am the worst at!)
Aye. Quethim, since we haven't talked about it before, I'll tell you now. I can handle most of the imaging and music stuff, not to mention keeping the website and forums in line. I know (and am learning) quite a bit about imaging, including 3D stuff. I will soon learn flash and even more 3D stuff. I also play in the band, and have for quite a long time, and have a good sense of music, not to mention a program that can create MIDI files by just adding notes and instruments. But I will talk to you more about that on MSN and the forums themselves. BTW, sorry for posting it.... It may well be a mistake, but Jar sure helped quite a bit! :smile:
I've modified it some, it should look a lot better and sound a lot better now, tell me what you all think....
I only just visited your website, Q. Obviously, you've got a way to go, but I want to say good on ya for making the attempt. Noone is born knowing how to program and noone is born knowing how to write fantasy or make up games. You'll get better as you learn from experience and constructive feedback. I'm glad you're trying, because the world, and especially the RPG forums portion of it, is filled with people who spend all their time bashing other people's creations. They only do it becuase they don't have the nuts or the initiative to make something themselves.
I've had this game thing in my mind for many years, for about 4 or 5 actually. My dream practicaly my whole life has been to develope games or something and I won't stop now. Also, I still have far to go and I do have far to go in life still as well, for I'm only 16 and in high school. So I still have the rest of my high school and college and then mabye some other jobs to help me prepare for gaming, ya know? I won't give up!
It's an okay idea, there's just no real hook that'd make me want to play it. I imagine if you added topless girls a developer would pick it up. Well that or a cool battle system. Oh and I like how David's weight is 140-200. Not a big gap or anything
Well, I don't have the exact details right now, so I just gave an example of what his wieght range will be, ya see? And my game will have a cool battle system, interesting plot, some "hot" girl characters and stuff like that. Heh, not sure about top less, but there will be hot ones.
Wow Quethim, you should work for Interplay. Especially on their new Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel game.
The first thing you need is the storyline, then a script with story boards. Then programing, graphics and sound and beta testing last. Is it any wonder that games take teams of people years to develope. Some people can program games all by themselves in months, but I haven't seen any I consider good. At least ot since the days of the 2600.
