N00bs UNITE! - Story Developments on Page 16

Game Engine Works in Progress and Game Demos

There are a lot of noobs that come here and they want to make a game lol

I’m one of those noobs. Well anyway - my more ambitious project has caused me to be depressed this weekend so I will take a break and see if anyone is willing to make a goofy crazy project with me.

The more disorganized the better - I have some basic python knowledge as well as animation and rigging, and modeling but I don’t know a thing about UV maps…

So… noobs are invited, even if you’ve only got 1 post! You’re INVITED to join me! lol

What’s the game about? Let’s talk about it PM me, comment, or send me your thoughts telepathically. It does not matter. As long as I can hear you.

I’ll probably agree to the first suggestion that any potential volunteer presents as along as its reasonable and can be completed in no more than one week - from the formation of the team.

Yes. A quickie game. A game that we will post a blend of for the world to study and scavange and pick apart for its pleasure.

If anyone is interested - even if it’s just one other person - We can begin this project as soon as it is reasonable - in other words -. as soon as it looks like no more volunteers will show up for it.

And then it begins.

Please list what you know how to do and your suggestions for the game. And plz, set aside some time for it if you do decide to volunteer. ‘We’ are going to work hard on it.

And one more thing -

Warning:
Game will be reasonably ‘random’ open mind is required.
We will not spend hours or days on planning, we will just start to build our project and focus on the actual mechanical aspects for learning and experience sake.

man, I want to see how this turns out lol

Lets make an rpg! Let’s aim for something along the lines of The Dark Messiah of Might and Magic! It’s insane I know, but after seeing my own progress in one day, 5 noobs would kick ass (Actually not) but it would be fun, lets give it a try XD

4

I could make you a few models here and there. Just provide me with a few simple drawings or ideas.

5

Who knows, it could even be the best game ever made with Blender (no sarcasm intended:D).
I could maybe make a few models as well, or use my new-found GIMP skills to remove “SAMPLE” stamps from any textures you might steal;)

6

I can make textures. In fact, I think I’ll go make one right now.

7

are non noobs allowed? lol, I could probably help out with some stuff

8

What do you think noobs? Shall we allow non noobs to aid us in our epic quest? XD

9

I’ll help, i’m not a no0b though :D, but i would like to get into another project.

10

Sounds fun but I’d like to know more… I’ll pm you = )

11

I’d like to try to do something, but I work slow.
Still…let me know what I can do and I’ll give it a shot.

Thanks everyone, I didn’t think they’d be so many interested.

ABOUT RPG’s:

To be honest I was thinking something more along the lines of

“Monkey with propellor on head flies around and throws melons at
the alien-birdies. Only AWESOME! =)”

To be frank I feel as though an RPG of any type is a bit too ambitious because of the level of organization and coordination that it would require is too great.I know it’s possible - but then we’d have to discuss story line in order for any of the characters to make sense. But not only that - we’d have to have some really good textures and/or models in order for any of the monsters to feel like they were worth while to engage. RPG’s in general or even a first person shooter is just too complex. I just feel like that’s too big for such a spontaneous project. I’m sorry.

I want a game concept so simple and so elegant that we can all understand our parts on day X and not really need to discuss much of anythign after that until 7 days later. You know, a project where people can have the freedom to make decisions on their own while also having a direction and an understanding of how their contribution is going to fit into the big picture.

In other words, it would be best to cast aside all conventional notions of the ‘uber game’ and just try to make something that we believe we can make - and do a good job too.

ABOUT n00bs:

Also, many people may have been using blender for a year or more - but so long as they are n00b at heart. like I am, it is fine by me if they want to join us - the more the merrier and the more chaotic too!

Additional info:

I dont want to spend too much time discussing details - but I’d like to hear everyone’s idea for what they’d like to do in this game and also, what you feel you would like to contribute. If you can PM me that would be wonderful actually - that way you can say what you want to say and I can speak to you briefly one on one - and it would be more concise and organized that way. Also, of course, tell me what type of game you’d like to make - if you have a preference.

I think that I will wait 24 hours and see whether or not their are any more people who may want to get involved.

Then, shortly after we finalize a list of contributors - I’ll post everyone’s idea that has been PM’d to me into one concise post and we can decide what we will do from there.

And then that’ll be it. Then we will start. I’ll disclose more details then.

PS
If you PM me - plz include pictures and concept art if you have them. Also, keep in mind that we need music and sound effects for this game. Don’t forget about them. If we don’t find a composer(s) we can of course do it the pirate’s way. But I’d like that to be a final recourse. (bug your roomate to lend us his music - tell him we are making a game lol)

Also, students plz remember that if you volunteer for this project it will require you to do work during the weekday! The same thing goes for those of you with jobs lol

thanks for the response

I don’t consider myself a n00b. :stuck_out_tongue:

But, once again, I can still help.

14

lol - okay

then please PM

15

PM sent to you.

16

I’ll give some help depending on what sort of game we are making.
I think we should make some kind of adventure game. Perhaps a mine cart ride where you have to dodge things/shoot switches/throw spanners at other mine carts and such.

17

I’ll be good. My knowlege is.

UV texture I can make you some textures.
I can model.
And I’m pretty good with logic setup.

That’s pretty much it. If you’d like to demo my projects look at kgames.informe.com support the forums if you want :smiley: Look at the wip threads to see what K games is cooking up.

18

Lets make an online game! It could be small and still very cool.

19

I’ve been working on a rough draft for a level. Since you mentioned monkeys and throwing stuff I made a nature level. It’s not quite done and still needs some work, I’m not ready to give up the .blend yet until I touch it up some more, however here’s a screenshot of what I’ve got so far = )

I dont like to think of myself as a noob, though its almost true. I can help with making models and the UV mapping. I think JAMES XVI is right, lets start big and get smaller (good friend down the road just go dark messiah, pretty awsum!)
