Hey, I just read your Sim story, pretty interesting stuff! I gots some questions about the game though. andnbsp;What type of game is this gonna be first of all? FPS? RTS? RPG? 3rd Person? Isometric?
Next, I notice that Dark Basic seems to be the main engine you guys use….are you guys planning on using others?
Also, I really want to check out the games you got listed….any news on the links?

Mel…

Hey thanks for the input, that’s what we need from people…. on all points.

Lots of people just give comments on the graphics, or music, but as you said, the storyline is important too and often gets overlooked.

If I had have known you were that interested we could have used ya to help build the game more. <!– s:) –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!– s:) –>

In fact, I was going to tell the forum when I got it in writing, but I will pre-empt it and tell ya all now…

Apart from the Visionary Designs compo we are entering, we have been approached by 2 software companies who are looking to either…

A. Market the full game.
or
B. Buy the rights to it and do it themselves.

I just had the news earlier today from our artist.

So….

What this means is the following:

WE NEED HELP!!!!!!!!

And quick!

We have merged with another development team called Virtual Dreams Studio, and while this is great news for us for home-grown games, but its not so good for this project as we need more team members for it and Virtual Dreams Studio are still getting there own projects together.

So, I want to ask everyone and anyone (at all ability levels) to think about joining us at least for this game.
We need all the normal positions such as modellers, programmers, artist’s, webdesigners, musicians etc and we will be doing this under contract.

(Now I have said that I hope it comes in writing soon!)

This is also great for 3DC as all the models are being done in it and we will be able to tie-in the name with the game which I think is only fair as 3dc is a great package that gives the user so much more than others.

So…. PLEASE email me if you want to join us for this exciting project ok. <!– s:) –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!– s:) –>

This is going to be VERY much like Parasite Eve. We are developing it on our old ‘Darkside’ game engine, but we are tweaking it a great deal.

[b:1fegj6m8]Next, I notice that Dark Basic seems to be the main engine you guys use….are you guys planning on using others?[/b:1fegj6m8]

Yes we are. To do something like this we are using C++, DB (and DBP) plus some cut scenes can use other packages (3dRAD?)… Its just a question of pulling them together for the final game.

[b:1fegj6m8]Also, I really want to check out the games you got listed….any news on the links?[/b:1fegj6m8]

NP mate.
Darkside is about to be hosted on DarkbasicPlanet, they are just clearing the server right now, but as soon as they are ready all our projects will be put there.

We are getting a .com soon and then we can put them there too so I will post on here when they are on-line ok.

Well….. That’s enough for now.
Thanks for all the input.

Ok i see what you meant about using other engines. andnbsp;I may just infact just do some leveling instead of using an engine. andnbsp;I’ll work on it and see what I can come up with. Besides the storyline, I just need to see what kind of enviroment the game will take place in, the mood of the game, andnbsp;which I am guessing to be technoish dark future. This way I can do some music of that style along with whatever modelling i can come up with. andnbsp;

Mel-

I just read your post, and am fascinated with how well thought out your response was. andnbsp;While Iceman does have valid clarifications for each of your points, your points were just as valid. andnbsp;Are you interested in fantasy genre RPGs? andnbsp;I could use a storyboarder that can really think through all the details.

Check this out: andnbsp;www.Javin-Inc.com/Business.doc

It doesn’t have any info on the game itself (that’s being kept under wraps) but it gives you an idea of what we’re doing with the team. andnbsp;I’d be glad to have you on board if you’re interested.

Respond to the E-Mail in the document if you are!
