My main influences and inspirations for this project
»Here«

Hi : ]

As a great fan of Games, I’ve been studying Blender for some time now with game development in mind. I’m still just a beginner to 3D and Blender/BGE. My motivation to study Blender is to understand it and be able to use it and understand how to do Games with it, but my passion is Administration and Game Design, that’s what I’m really good at. Probably I’ll never be a great blender master, cause i enjoy Administration more and I’ll focus on that. Of course, I’ll continue to study and improve my Blender skills.

The Game
It is Open Source, under a Creative Commons (CC) BY-SA 3.0 Unported license.

Plot
Velt and Lori are very adventurous “brats”… they once again disobeyed their Clan rules and their parents advices and got into the Forbidden Hari Waterfall (again…). As always, Lori was near a little garden between the forest and the river, searching for Witchcraft Butterflies (explained below). Velt, was lying down on the grass playing nervously with a bush leaf on his mouth, daydreaming of a life of brave and dangerous adventures. Suddenly, he hear his sister scream and promptly wake up to just see Lori been carried away by strange little spherical creatures with strange Armour and glowing orbs in place of it’s bellies. Velt promptly start to run to save his sister, to be abruptly stopped by a terrifying creature like the ones that got his sister, but that one is more tall, larger and resembles a lion. The creature get it’s spear with a big blade. Velt grab his Scimitar…

… and the adventure begins.

Dark Elfs was Sun elfs before they ware cursed, but good Sun elf societies still exist) . She got amazed with the kindness and power of the Witch and never imagined that womans could be brave too, in her education only mans can be brave and fight. She then wanted to become a Witch. (Witchs are independent womans that have their own villages and live a more fair life with non-biased males. Usually the world is ruled my mans, and womans are sub-missed to their desires and rules.

Sorry, I’m not offering my help (because I wouldn’t be any help anyway), I’m just here to say wow your idea is impressive and the extent to which you have thought about this pretty amazing. I wish you luck, you’ve clearly put a lot of effort into this and it looks like it’d make an epic game.

PS. you’re a very good artist too.

[chris_0076]

I’m with mattroe. You have put a lot of thought into this compared to most of the people that post things.

Depending on how busy I am, I could possibly do some concept art here or there. I can not make any guarantees on anything, but I can try to help out where I can.

[Almost]

Hmm, I probably won’t join the team, but I wouldn’t mind popping in and trying my hand at modeling some of the characters, enemies in particular. I don’t really want to make any commitments, but I like helping out in relatively simple ways…

Is the Machna 00 Maintenance Unit pic upposed to have floating parts, or are they meant to be connected by body parts that you just didn’t bother to draw?

<edit2>

Newer blend, added a slightly modified version that looks more warlike and has claws, though I’m not really sure if it’s what you wanted when you said somethign about it changing to a more warlike version in emergencies…

Yeah, these are floating parts. Example: You played Rayman? The Machnas have a similar behavior.

[Cristiano_Vitorino]

Thank you very much Almost! It’s awesome!

I’ll create a session for contributors and credit you there.
EDIT: Done!

I posted here since i was looking for help and team and hadn’t anything nice to show on a WIP tread.

[Mentalturkey]

Its good to see you’ve thought it out and planned it. Sounds like a promising game

Remember creating a game isn’t as easy as it looks, especially when you’re not very experienced with blender. Altough, I’m impressed by your concept art and your ideas. You might use cray’s third person template as a base for your game. Should save you lots of work.

[tiagocristiani]

hi, i would like join the team and work with you, I am at your disposal.

Yeah, i know, i didn’t meant it was easy, sorry if i gave you that impression on my first post. I agree with you. And I’m already studying cray’s superb work.
I recommended his work as reference/resource on my first post too.

@tiagocristiani

Hi tiagocristiani,

Thanks for apply! Which role you would like to apply? What you’re good at/like to do more?

[tiagocristiani]

maybe I can join the modeling, but i can’t do it alone.

[Cristiano_Vitorino]

@tiagocristiani

maybe I can join the modeling, but i can’t do it alone.

OK then. Feel free to contribute anytime.

[Lucrecious]

I’d like to help alternately programming :), sounds really cool, and you’re actually the first person to have the entire idea planned out. Not just saying, I’m making a game like Grand Theft Auto, anyone want to help. You actually got the concept, got the story and put on this to see what you have. It won’t be easy to do though. (this game reminds of Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker) Also, I am working on an AI script, which I’ll be happy to give to you! Andrew-101 and me worked on it ;P. Sounds cool man, keep up the awesome work.

Your help would be great man!
Yeah, will be tough indeed, and even with a team, may be a slow process, but i already knew the difficulties, and I’m prepared to face it, I’m determined to do it.

I never played Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, but judging by the videos i saw of it and all i read about it, looks really awesome.

Thanks again for your support man!

Hi
I really like how you’ve put your thought into this and presented a good game idea with a good simple storyline. Btw, blender already has GLSL so it will look excellent. I can’t commit myself too much, but I can do mesh modelleing and textures. I’ve got some experience, and I’ve modelled a P51 Mustang and am trying to make a sim out of it (im stuck on the flight dynamics right now). I can join the team if it isn’t too much commitment, and I fully support Open Source use of my work.

[cray]

Hi kernel_script,
I am glad that the template can be useful, I wish good luck for your game.
The organisation and (future) team management looks good, I hope that you can find the right team members to work on it until it’s fully completed.

If you have any question about the template, don’t hesitate to do it on the official thread, or directly on my website.

Hi eaglestrike,

Thank you very much man! Sure, you can join, there is no high commitment needed, i will not push into you to do work, you collaborate as you can, since it’s Open Source and we will work on it on our free time.

I’ll see if i can produce resources myself (will be really more tough though, but I’ll try), like Sound Tracks, so i can use GPL instead of Creative Commons.

I like Mustangs! Where is your tread?

Sure! And thank you very much for the great support cray!

[Cristiano_Vitorino]

Thanks Almost! Yeah, you got the idea!
But the external eyes ring are round (eye balls are spherical) and will not show expression, just change colors: blue when good (Hari), orange when directly controlled (both Hari and Lakamari), and red when evil (Lakamari; battle mode). The same color process occur with their Life/Dark Force Orbs.
The claws are much bigger.
I’ll see if i can do some adjustments and update.

Please, could you post a reply/update note as a comment when you update your post? I’m subscribed to the tread thought e-mail notification, so i only knows when someone had replied/updated when he/she post a new comment.

EDIT
Done! Here:

machna-00_and_01_ix-p_with.blend (337 KB)

I changed the too complicated “1X-ABCDE” names to just 00 and 01, no need for this unnecessary complication I’ll maintain only numbers now, and simple - but original and creative as possible - names.
