Post by: the_Watchers_eye on April 23, 2003, 02:09:00 AM
If people do not know that they are free then, but are interested then please let me know.

Also to those people who would like to see this project take off, please leave a message here to encourage people to join the team, thanks.

If you would like to see some models of the dinosaurs leave a message here as well, thanks.

thanks for the help guys, chillin dude I did not think of that, it would be great though once things get started, so yeh I don't mind you making a cover for it, although I don't have a name for the game or a team name just yet.

b166ir I was initially thinking of holding a competition on the voice acting, but if you can come up with the right voice then I would implement it into the game. Was thinking approximately 50 different lines in total.

Like I said before, nothing needs to be 100% original, I have not created those models, but can use them - I have them in 3d Max, Maya and Lightwave.

Also from the xboxhacker someone has come forward to help with the background music, which is great.

Still in need of those coders and graphic designers so please help if you are ready this, it is 100% genuine, thanks.

Just a quick update. Things will hopefully start in just over a months time, why then you saying? Well I have my Final Year University Exams coming up, last one is on the 16th but might relax 2 or 3 days after that instead of trying to start this project.

Unfortunately the lack of supporters for the coding side means that we might have to take things in to our own hands and do the coding, will have to see about that.

I am a programmer.  Although the idea of your game really doesn't interest me much, I would be interested in coding for you.  Email me at: [email protected] .  I can tell you about MY game idea that I have working on...maybe we can collaborate on that too.

I'm also a programmer and I have experience developing games and graphics applications.  I'm interested in doing a homebrew title (doing one of my own, see http://www.theunprofessional.com).  I've had bad experiences joining over-the-web development teams in the past, but i'm willing to give it another shot depending on the logistics of the team.

Take care,
Bill

Just a suggestion you could use the quake 2 engine couldnt you.

Post by: The unProfessional on May 20, 2003, 12:55:00 PM
How's it going, watchers...

Forming a team in the future would definitely be a good idea, but we'd probably need to keep it close knit.  I've tried joining some over-the-web teams, and I believe they failed because they were too large and difficult to manage.

I'd be perfectly happy to use my engine to create other games, once it's complete.  But, this particular engine won't apply well to FPS's.  Although, we could develop an engine from the ground up in the future if necessary.

I just wanted to say this seems awsome. I love FPS and would love to own one thats made by regular coders and not pros, it would be real fun to check out and who knows maybe it could be better than most of the crap that comes out.

P.S. Please put in a shotgun!!!!!

laugh.gif Those are some great stories guys!  I can remember my Uni days...almost 9 years ago now...But I did design...so my finals included building furniture and making 3d cad graphics and animation from my projects...a lot more fun then sitting around in those darn little plastic chairs.

But I did have to go through some of those 3 hour exams the first couple years, my favs are when someone starts sniffling, then in a matter of minutes everyone is sniffling...but you try to do it as to make the least amount of noise...but it still echos laugh.gif

ANyhow can't wait to start on the 3d for this game!  I have been brushing up my 3d skills recently and have made a pic for you guys...it has a bit of japabese influence in it but its a hint of what i can do...enjoy

seems like we are coming together nicely. sorry for not posting much guys, but have been in this crazy rat race trying to find a new job since i'm done with school for atleast another 6 months. i'll be working on the storyboard and more. not a coder or graphic designer, but have done a few animation products. (anime style shorts etc..) great to have everyone aboard !

You should do it in a private mIRC room instead, its easier to see the chat and send files and stuff...just send all the people who are doing *something* towards the product a password to get in. Glad to hear it won't be long till it starts....how did the exams go?

sorry for the late reply, instead of emailing people, hope you all read this and join the irc channel I  will setup tommorrow - will be in there all of the day to keep it alive - hopefully meet people between 5-6pm UK time, otherwise if someone wants to turn up and let the rest know whats been going on then that is ok with me. I definately need as many coders in there as possible - been thinking of some changes in the original plans.

I will post the irc channel tommorrow [hope everyone knows how to use irc otherwise download the "excursion" program - uses mirc]

I'm thinking at the moment we need you to take charge more! Email everyone on the list that you have emails for to get them to join the forum and then we'll see how many we can get and go from there.

If we don't have your ideas and everything written down, then there's not much for use to go on. Oh, and I also think we should move the chat to EFnet as it's a much more well known server (with many of the Xbox scene channels on)...
