Seeking Partner for Game Development

[Vestras]

Ehh, Drakethos, you're never online @ MSN. (I suppose you're Derrick?)

 

[Drakethos]

aye, i am Derrick. I won't usually be on during the daytime, as I have been busy doing work for my parents. For now expect me to be on about 7:00 P.M is maybe even 9:00 P.M. Hopefully I will have more time for this, as for now I will brainstorm ideas.
- As for the Mesh render: What files will it be able to open?, I'm very excited about that, and i would like to see the source code as soon as its working
- It would be nice for everyone have the software installed by tonight, and be on all of their IM screenames, in case they have trouble with the software. I also have to make you guys screenames and passwords and tell you the IP address.

 

[Weegee]

I am hopefully getting it installed today. My parents normally dont like me installing stuff like this though

 

[Lyerae]

PeerAware?
I deleted the visible stuff, so they can't see it.

Anyway, I made some test sites for you all to look at:
Blog: http://lifeless.netau.net/
Forums: http://lifeless.netau.net/forums/
And a wiki: http://lifeless.netau.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Depending on what host you use for the websites, I can make as many of those as we need. (As long as I have enough diskspace, and SQL databases)\
Only took me about 10 minutes to set them all up. Would have taken less if the FTP was faster...

 

[Lyerae]

(Sorry for the double-post, but I need the bump so the project members can see this)

I think we should find something other than PeerAware, seeing as the group creator needs to have the client running at all times.

I think we should use Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/), because it has Voice Chat, and private rooms, and after we get a website up, I can create FTP accounts for us all.
We can still use PeerAware whenever everyone can get on, but I think we should use something that doesn't need a specific user to be online.

 

[Weegee]

true. I could dl steam (no dl since i already have it but ya)

 

[Lyerae]

Yeah, Steam is very useful. Me and my clan (EQE/SQE on Azeroth) use it instead of Ventrilo. I set up a group for the Clans.

Anyway, whats your steam ID/account? Maybe we could go over some things to work on.

My steam account is "sssummer" and "cheesywlz".

Me and my brothers play on both accounts, so just add both, I could be on either.

Steam account: savage2611

Can I ask :
What language are you coding this game in ?
( And what type of game ? ^_^ ( Unless my eye's failed again I couldn't see it ) )

Because I could help with :
C#
C++ ( not much )
VB ( a bit.. )

 

[Drakethos]

hmm, steam might work, but i would really like something where we could all send messages when we were offline, and easily get to them, and send files for all, etc. To bad Google wave hasn't been released, it would work perfectly.

 

[Lyerae]

As soon as we have a website up (if it's paid hosting, so I can have cPanel), I can make us all FTP accounts on a subdomain (which no one, other than us and our host) will know, and set the folders so only FTP can see them.

Which reminds me something: Are you planning on using paid hosting, or free hosting for any websites?

Anyway, I won't be able to get at a computer for a couple days, but I have my iPod Touch, so I can get ims
AIM: thelifelessone12
MSN: [email protected]
Yahoo: same as above

 

[Cheesy]

I think we can stick with Steam for now.

Also, we haven't really discussed any specifics on the game yet, what language will it be coded in? What type of game will it be? 2D or 3D? etc...

You better start answering some questions Drakethos.

 

[Lyerae]

Yeah, we should discuss it.
As towards what kind, I could probably come up with a story for an RPG, RTS, and maybe an FPS.

 

[Cheesy]

I don't think an RTS or FPS would be smart for our first group porject, unless you really think we are up to something like that.

 

[DrEvil]

I would be sure to help ( as much as I can )
well anything C or VB related I could help with.

Depends if you have room for one more ^_^

btw - For a first group proj. I think it should be 2D unless we have good modellers + good coders ( ... you know what I mean... )

...Seeking Partner for Game Development

( Should be - Seeking Partner's for Game Development

 

[Cheesy]

Actually, it should be Partners, not Partner's.

 

[DrEvil]

XD Beat at my own game...
( Pfft... I've never been good at spelling... or writing... )
So... What'ya say *wink wink*

 

[Lyerae]

Hmm. RPGs then?
I'll write up some stuff to look at (story wise).
Expect it in 1-2 weeks (writing takes time).

 

[Weegee]

And RPG would be fine with me. We need to make it unique though. What will make ours unique from all the others out there? What makes a game good is its community and gameplay (more so a frendliy community like TH.net).
