zane203 8 Report post Posted February 11, 2011 Hello, I am Zane "ZenOokami" (Zen for short) Blalock. I'm the maker of this little project, and I'd like to extend some opening positions, as I would like some help ^_^ . :Purpose of Project: The Purpose of this project are as followed: -To provide an interactive game for rpg lovers to enjoy when wanting a deep innovative game - and also play when bored and need something else to do. -To have something in a portfolio... like for a college... that I'm trying to go to... (lol) -Overall increase skills in making games. -Just having fun doing something with people who have common interest. :Story: The story is pretty straight forward. The game takes place in a world of power, magic, and might. You are the son of a great Shaman known as the Wolf King. You are said to shape the world in the coming forth of a new era, either lighting a bright path, or covering it with a dark fissure. Nothing is known on how you will impact it, either you gain Nez's (The late God of Balance), or you lose it to another. With armies growing, and people rushing to find this power, you must shape your own destiny and finds out how it fits with-in this world. In essence, the game revolves around your character, and how you develop him. Nothing is fully set in stone, as you can possibly become new god, or happen to become an average warrior. You can be a Hero, Anti-Hero, Villain, or not even care about the world. :Positions: Game Design: [Open] Eventer: [Open] Writer: [Open] scripter: [Open] Artist: [Open] Spriter: [Open] All positions are open, as the project itself is "open". I plan to have it being an "Locked Open Source" game. Basically once the game is finish, as well as the first few DLC is released for it, to release a DLC SDK kit for the game. The Kit will include a removal of all custom scripts that I - or a set official project scripter wish to keep from being seen, as well as encrypted information -- that will a waste of time to sit and decode them. `-This will allow players to submit their own content they may want to see added to the official game. The project is really meant to be a fun experience. In the end, the game will not be released until the Virtual console is finished. The console is actually... pretty much finished, but I have to redo it x.X -- Had a friend who's an awesome coder, and we basically finished the base line codes, but when the laptop broke. I lost the data. Thankfully, he's a genius and says it wont take to long to redo -- so now he's waiting on this project to near at least 75%. Thank you for your time, and thank you for reading this topic. I welcome criticism from all areas, and I also welcome ideas. Yes it's an ambitious project in the end, but hey when many people are working on something ambitious, it becomes fun, and a work of art... or a work of "FAIL" that was still fun to make. (not to mention the created resources to archive). "SCREENIES!" Battle System Screenshots Intro Cut-Scene Screenshots HUD Screens -- its only about 60% done, its simple and easy.

Dragon324 16 Report post Posted February 11, 2011 I can help with eventing and maybe some scripting, I'm a little lazy though especially since I have school. But if you want I can help with those and I will try my best to fit into my schedule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No not really but I haven't had much time to think about it. Just send me a message or something if you need something. But it sounds good so far I'm just wandering do you have the story completed already or is that what you meant by any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zane203 8 Report post Posted February 13, 2011 yes and no, the main basic core story line is complete, but the branching stories around it isnt. The base is quiet generic, in a non cliched manor. You know, revenge, and all that what what. The ending is a bit surprising, and I tried setting it up to not be "oh that's just BS!" type of thing. Mysterious but not to wtf-ish lol. i'll PM you when i need something ^^ which might be around this week xD. thanks again dude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted February 13, 2011 I wouldn't mind doing some maps. I'm looking for practice right now anyways. And the hell does locked-open-source mean? xD Sounds kinda' like an oxymoron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joman195 9 Report post Posted February 13, 2011 I'll be the eventer, I can't script or do graphics, but when it comes to events I can do anything! :biggrin_002: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxkit 4 Report post Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) I cant do much yet but i can work on maps and events if you want. It would be good to get some sort of practice. Edited February 15, 2011 by Foxkit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zane203 8 Report post Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) thanks guys xD @Kirashi -- ah yes, as a Zen Master, im known for throwing oxymoron out into the open lolz x3 ; what it means is we'll release "sdk" file which only contains coding we want you to see. everything else will be removed, completely, or variables renamed into a sequence of codes using algorithms (my coder friend likes doing them for fun xD). so its open for people to add/edit whats there, but big things, or specific things that a contributor, or one of the staff wants to stay with-in a classified field, will remain hidden. -edit: oh and Fox, if you want to event, I was looking towards some interesting side jobs (mini games) to earn money. Feel free to make some =o i have some ideas like wood cutting, mining, and farming. But im interested to hear your suggestions though =] Kirashi, for maps, I'm going to bug you later with dungeons... lots and lots of them =3 im working on a event for randomizing them, the treasures with-in, and the hot spots, and even monsters. its really a simple process - like a binary tree of checks, but the process of doing it all is tedious xD. I know -- cookies are cookies... (/random) -Zen Edited February 16, 2011 by zane203 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broken Messiah 20 Report post Posted February 23, 2011 Do you have any idea why they get currupt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zane203 8 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 with older projects i've done, i know the files can be corrupt if rmxp's process is closed while saving (like freezes up while saving and you: make it end, lose power, etc.) but at this point i dont know. I worked on it about 3 days ago, and i did nothing unusual. Today i get the message that its an unexpected file format. =/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 Luckily I've only ever had one of my RMXP projects corrupted (though I've lost them in other ways... >_<). As far as I know, it happened because I quit it too early; though RMXP saves super fast so I don't see how it was possible. Oh well.. Sorry to hear you lost yer' project.

zane203 8 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 well like i said "oh well" -- but now that it's been a few days, im out of the "grieving" process xD. i'll be taking my last back up file and and taking my completed and incomplete event systems and adding them to a new project. I'll taking the advice of a friend on this one though. Dont post anything about it until i get at 50+% -.- ... so yea -- all that i'll say is that it'll basically be the same project =/ except im going to do the story a bit differently, and probably do some custom scripts when it comes to interaction. Thanks again though for the support guys. and Kiriashi, I could still use some cave maps =] anything you make will be fine. any kind of "dungeon" set-up you can think of.
