Rome Game

semmie1900 · July 2, 2013, 5:27am

Hi,

I’m developing a game, but need some help.

In the game, you will be a gladiator, in a small roman town (really small in the beginning), were you will fight for money in the amphitheatre. With this money you can buy weapons and armour.
The fights will be very epic, we will put a lot of time in the animations.

This is the very basic of the game. Later on we can update the game with quests, god fights, hunting, a bigger area, talking, etc.

I need some modellers, I can do it myself, but some help would me great. Especially somebody with experience with character modeling would be great, I can model the buildings and terrain myself. You will not get paid, it’s just for fun and experience.

If you’re not a modeler, but want to be involved in this project, just reply, help is always appreciated, even feedback

I already made a map and some models.

Hi, i’m really interested in this as i’m a big fan of the ancient world, if you need any help, I could model props, armour, weapons etc (probably not characters). If you require any help I’ll be glad to help, just PM me

I’m still looking for artists who want to help us with the project!

How will this stand out from other games?

semmie1900 · January 31, 2014, 9:44am

There are not many games playing in this age. Ryse son of rome has recently been released, but that game is third person, without any customization options. Gladius for a gladiator will have a customization option and will have every civilian have their own backstory, with their own personal happines and routine.

Also, the game will be historically accurate and will have a lot a hints, or easter eggs, wich refer to myths and legends.

I always wanted a game with this genre, so I just made one myself a year ago ;), I hope other share my passion.

I think we need more details. What is the storyline? Who is the player character? Where in rome is it? How are you going to do all of this?

semmie1900 · January 31, 2014, 10:11am

I think we need more details. What is the storyline? Who is the player character? Where in rome is it? How are you going to do all of this?

We do not have our entire story written yet, but I have been writing different scenerios.

The prologues I currently have:

Scenario 1
A soldier of the roman imperial legion disobeys his leader when he tries to save on of his friends in battle. Thus he puts the whole formation in danger, and is sentenced to live as a gladiator in one of the gladiator schools.

Scenario 2
A young Jewish boy is captured enslaved in the first Jewish-Roman war (70AD), and loses his whole family during that war. He is sold to a gladiator school, where he learns to fight as a gladiator (8 years go by, thus he is now about 20-22 years old).

Scenario 3
A roman civilian’s household (mother, baby) is attacked by two soldiers, who are about to rape his wife. He tries to defend his family from the soldiers. He manages to expel them, but in the hurry his house is set on fire, and his family is killed. He is sentenced to fight in a gladiator school.

After the main character is at the gladiator school, (8 years later in scenario 2), he needs to fight against a other gladiator. This is where the player has his tutorials about the controls of the game. He gets beat up by this other gladiator, and has a flashback of his youth or another scenario and still wins the battle. He walks away, the image fades away, and you hear a voice wich tells the story of the main character.

This is what currently is written. I hope you like it. I prefer scenario 2.

The story is probably going to play in sorrento, you can see it’s location here:

You can see the location as a black dot, near Naples.

I am currently developping this with two more men, a 3d developer and a artist. I am currently doing al the coding and I also do a bit of 3d development.

nopinky · January 31, 2014, 11:26am

And what else? Surely you’ve gotten more planned out than that…?

semmie1900 · January 31, 2014, 12:10pm

What do you mean? The storyline is not my first concern. I think the game needs to run smoothly first. I do already have a inventory, and have more things planned, but I don’t want to give everything away.

Do you have some suggestions for the story or something else?

Robert_Banks · January 31, 2014, 2:26pm

Yes, if you show us some pics of your progress, people might want to join.
As a suggestion for your scene, watch out for heavy textures. You need to find the correct balance between quality and size for each texture, if you max out all the textures it won’t run as well.

cerfribar · February 1, 2014, 8:22am

would you mind to show some of the models? so everyone can get an idea of what level of quality you are aiming for?

semmie1900 · February 2, 2014, 6:02am

This is the first stage of development. I wanted to have some coding done first before I started to make pretty models.

But I do have some things ready, made by Jason, the 3d-artist.
His models are about the level of detail that I desire. Here are some shots of his models:

semmie1900 · February 2, 2014, 6:09am

And these are examples of the level of detail we are eventually aiming for:
