WIP Space ORPG (No name yet) - New Generation Space ORPG

[Vestras]

Well, I had this idea for a while. This is an ORPG like EVE: Online, an ORPG where you fly around in space in your spaceship, battling space-pirates and destroying astroids while recieving quests from your contacts in the docks. I haven't played this very much, but meh.

Gameplay
I was thinking of a gigantic world, where you can travel 'slowly', and fast. I'm currently working on the moving system, where when you don't move, you actually do. All the time, when not 'moving', you move a little bit (very little bit) towards your facing. When shooting, you will have to turn your canons on, load them, wait on them to luanch and then actually hit. I've not thought the combat system all through yet though.

Camera
The camera system will be 'extremely' advanced - upto 6 options (that I thought about so far) about camera rotating, or just camera setup. A unit carrying abilities for controling camera to ease battling or traveling.The options that I thought about so far is:

• Slow rotating camera (standard)
• Fast rotating camera
• Slow rotating camera + arrow key control
• Fast rotating camera + arrow key control
• Arrow key control
• Normal third person camera without anything (any other option includes TPC)

Quests
The basic quests in this map will be normal ORPG quests, but the 'new types' of quests will be unique quests. I haven't thought very much about this yet though.

Team
So far it's only me, but I'm looking for the following types of people:

• Scripter
• FX Modeller
• Object Modeller

I don't accept GUI 'scripters', because everything will be vJASS.

What can I do?
I can vJASS script, FX model, and a little bit of object modelling. Also I will be leading this project, if I can gather a proper team.

Contact
Either here, or at [email protected].

So far this is nothing but an idea, so...

Another project? Wasn't meant as something negative although it might be.

TP isn't being worked on anymore. I only got my AoS map.

I could be a scripter of you would like. I know vJASS , and that's all i wold use.

I also wrote an arrow key camera movement system. I'll just need to tidy it up. I can also setup a save and load.

 

[Vestras]

That's great!

[Waaaaagh]

Plan out the combat system, code it, combine it with the movement system (frankly I'd use momentum + right click to accelerate) and release a demo. You know, just for the hell of it.

So... the map is based on something you (presumably) know little about, other than "You do some stuff", which would be common to alot of things? Good start

A camera unit for controlling the first two cameras? Sounds a bit lame, and fidgety, I can't see it being very useful (especially if you have to select another unit, or use a different set of abilities on the same unit, which could end up getting you killed?)

# Slow rotating camera + arrow key control
# Fast rotating camera + arrow key control
# Arrow key control

Aren't they pretty much the same thing, just with speed differences? You could just have a button for increasing/decreasing rotation speed, or a chat command, would seem more sensible than 3 separate cameras that seemingly do the same thing

What can I do?

What does that have to do with anything? Just because you say you're able to do said things doesn't really mean diddly-squat, it won't automatically imply that the map will be good

Make sure it doesn't stay that way, you've got enough abandoned projects in the forum already

Because he's looking for project members in a very subtle way.
