Hello everyone.
First of ALL.
I am starting a new big project. I haven’t been an active blender user due to the reason that I have been learning new languages(C++) and libraries(opengl,sdl,sdl_net) as I want to start making an MMORPG.
The game
As the title says, this is a prototype for a game. the game is going to be an MMORPG. yes I know many people are wanting to start a big massive project like this and then get flamed by the people. THIS IS A PROTOTYPE. so there will be no Networking only the physics, gameplay, and graphics testing.
The game is named Land of Lords and I am not going to change it. LOL
About the Game.
I am not going to post the full detail about the game, as I haven’t wrote a full game documentation on it. (I am at the process of starting it).
Time: Dark ages, legends and myths, magic etc
Setting: Tuto Island, this island is the island of Lord “Tuto” and he is one of the lords. the Prototype is only going to be based in Tuto Island. There are Magic schools, market where you buy weapons and food, you can fight monsters in the forest, you can harvest to make food and other things, and you can go mining where you can find food, and you can manufacture weapons etc and keep them or sell them. you can learn new skills by going to the library.
Things you can do in the game: you can become a pirate, a fighter, harvester, seller, manufacturer etc
Characters: you can become a Human character or a mage, Elf, dwalf etc
Enemy: the enemies are orcs, dragons, ogres and other nasty creatures that try to take over the Land of Lords.
other things you can do: you can do quest from NPC that give you them, you can have pets that help you on your quest. I will update this list soon.
Baseline about the history of Tuto Island (by asros)
Tuto Island is a small, peaceful island. It belongs to a kingdom called Aida. Aida consists mostly of islands which are ruled by lords. Aida is best known from its ships. Shipbuilding is an ancient talent amongst the people of Aida and they are masters of it. However, these ships are also used by pirates. They are a constant threat. They plunder the trade caravans which travel between islands. Merchants use wizards to protect their ships while at sea.
Few years back Aida was at war with Alaria, their northern neighbors. Aida was able to defend the border, but the once warm relationship between the two kingdoms was gone.
Tuto Island is near the northern boarder of AIda. It was used as a small base during the war. Many men living there were recruited on the warships. Most of them never returned.
In Tuto Island there is a Wizard Academy. Those who have the will and talent to understand the mystic arts can learn to master their skills in there.
THE TEAM
about me.
I am a programmer and I am going to be the lead programmer for this project. I can also model and animate but I have seen a lot of people in this forum who can do it better than me, so I am going to keep my position as a programmer and I will also help out in the modelling/animation section until there are some artists offering to help.
this is the list positions for this game.
Programmers (retro world(me)[lead programmer],)
3D Modelling/rigging (hippobeings[character modelling and rigging],ddub + meltedgears[ buildings and landscaping.],Traa1703)
3D Animation ()
2D concept/texture (hippobeings)
Story/quests (retro world,Asros)
Map editor ((retro world)

these positions are always available and there is no maximum number of people working on this project.
you will get credit for everything you do for this project.
if you would like to carry on being part of this team after the prototype then you can.
This will be a great experience to making an MMORPG for all of us:D

Please do not post asking me to show any of my previous work because all of the things I have, I do not wish to share with anyone. So if you think I am a fraud, then just leave this post. And yes I am aware that people would want to join the game if I have things to show, and I am not wanting for people to join right away, I am just posting here if anyone would like to get the prototype started with me. so please do not post any crits about not showing any work yet.
