This board is usually for ideas that have been developed into something, not just 2 lines summing up the theme of the game. Anyway, I'm not bothered, good luck.

Do you bite your thumb at me sir?

hey my excuse is real, i can work on games but thanks to optus's high priced service then their rapid change to "only 69 a month starting march" means i got it cut off now i gotta wait till march to get it back or suffer the penalties, but my girlfriend has it already. which sucks cause there is all this stuff i could download and use for my games but i cant i suppose if i had cd's they do have burners. curse my lack of fundage.

Those little USB pen-drive gadgets are soooo handy - beats burning CD's and makes using Laplink look like an act of vandalism.

My big project idea is a FPS RPG, but probably not what most people would expect. Thing is though, I've had the same idea for 20 years eating away at my brain, I mean I think about ways to approach the idea and features every day. In actual fact I got back into bedroom coding so that I could eventually make the damn thing - and have spent the last few years learning modelling and DB because it's simply the most direct route for me.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is practice until you can do your big idea justice, know a good way to achieve every aspect of your engine before you even start. A good way to go about this is to make smaller games, not necesserily FPS, but anything that deals in 3D and has some features you want for your main project - particle engines for instance can be very portable, whereas there are other areas that will engine specific, so it's best to know what your dealing with.

I won't be starting for a while yet, wanna make VanMESH (modeller) and that MMORPG project with ya. Both projects that will benefit any future project I undertake.

Sorry to borrow this thread, but...
Uberwigget - I was thinking that we'd build the buildings with code, like we'd have a tile set for all the textures, and the buildings would be part of the terrain. Designing them would be something like a matrice editor with edges, pretty straightforward (compared to a modeller at least). I'd like to see raised pavements etc too. It does mean that the buildings might be a little blocky, but it would give us an intrinsic editor that could be used to create new cities from scratch without needing a modelling app or an art package. For buildings, simple backdrop screens would be enough, just a sorta GUI to let you chat or buy stuff etc. The engine will be script based, so most of the design will be done with editors, I'll just concentrate on the engine and editors while you make the scripts.

Why ruin a perfectly good game like Halo by making a crummy rpg of it? I'm not saying you don't have any potential, but sheesh, why not design an RPG that is your own creation, and not some horrible derivative?

I can see why you want a HALO rpg, it has the coolest storyline I have ever seen-out of all genres. The Final Fantasy games have very deep and evocative stories, but the one in HALO is just plain cool. It would also neat to see what it is like being a marine and advancing through ranks, and commanding your own ships, or being abducted at age 7 and having to go through intensive boot camp type things to become a spartan (...yeah.. I read the books too )

But the thing that really made HALO was its gameplay. Way more open-ended than most first person shooters. I noticed in the newer 007 games the paths you can take are very small and limited. HALO allows you to experiment. Instead of having tons of scripted AI guys, they just placed a bunch on a field, and let 'em kill each other. You could either watch and pick off the remnants, or save all your marine buddies and lead an assault against a group of bad dudes.

HALO definitely needs to be reserved for the action genre, but having an rpg set in a science fiction galaxy-spanning war is definitely a cool idea. Take an overused idea and make it original and interesting.

If you do anything- 1st you will need the character model, then you need to make some kind of level to interact (a small one) then collision/camera, after you have that compile you can start messing about with what you want (did it that way myself and hopefully something will come out soon)

Just for giggles, I hope to capture the Halo feel in a turn based combat game. Check out the game treatment that I wrote as part of a Gameversity seminar I took. (Use the web icon.)

I'm playing with a trial of Cooledit 2000 and a Scifi plugin for some cool voice effects. I think DBP is fully capable of this kind of RPG/combat engine.
