2d MMORPG

[hallsofvallhalla]

So with me finally getting my brain chemicals back in place I have gotten a TON done. Much of it was business related but some of it was going through these aquired assets and getting my studio set back up. Well I sat down this weekend and was like "time for some more tutorials" but I sat there wondering what exactly to do and to make it useful and then I realized " I have barely worked on a full game in months!".

So I think it is time to start a new project to get back in the swing of things. Before making a decision to post, as I am one of those that would like to not announce unless its serious, I really though about if its the right time and I have the time to finish it and after I sat down and dedicated some time to rebuilding some websites that I have not been wanting to do for ages I decided the answer is yes. WOW what a run on sentence!

So here I am, working on a GDD, hashing out some ideas, ect..

Here is what I have to offer currently

Tons of 3d models, enough to fill a MMO
Lots of 2d Sprites
Sounds and music
Art

So I had this large post about what to do and such but as I was writing this I think I figured it out. I would like to make a real time browser MMORPG like BrowserQuest using Nodejs and Javascript.
I would like to have features like
Races and Classes
Guild System with Perks
Guild Loot, Guild owned lands
Leveling and experience system based on what you use(like Skyrim)
Large Equipment System
Crafting System
Player Owned Lands and houses
Auction Houses
Chat System
Companions
Good Quest System
Achievements
Thief system with real puzzles
Massive map
Bosses
Real World Events
Instanced Dungeons
Farming, Fishing, ect..


And much more. I know this is a lot and no I will not try to finish all this before release. This is an overall plan.

In the past I have worked on most alone other than the 3d MMOs but I think I want one maybe two dedicated souls to help out.

Thanks

So are you recruiting or being recruited?

I can always help brainstorming ideas or functionalities.
As from the ideas I have experience in RPG games like Gothic-series and Ultima Online(several custom shards, massively seen working ideas going good or bad)..

So as it comes to that list of features you are going to implement, I like those aspects of game as in Ultima Online. You don't have to be battle to enjoy the game, you can just go fishing or start tailoring

If you need help brainstorming, getting another view on things or so, feel free to contact me. I'm daily here at forum's so PM.

Why not join and help me? Without kidding I could have some help... But I'm quite sure about your answer: my game is not what you have in mind

[hallsofvallhalla]

Sounds great. This will most likely turn into a community project anyways

@ a_bertrand I actually love your game and its style it is very inspirational. Seeing it helps drives me to my own goals. I am not sure if I could lend much help as I have never worked with isometric from scratch but now I am intrigued. Feel free to shoot me a PM.

[hallsofvallhalla]

This is on hold as I have joined forces with a_bertrand on Cubicverse. Instead of starting from scratch I think it would be good for me to jump in on a project with so much potential and basically has or has potential to have everything I am looking for. I not only love to code but love to write and add content so looking forward to it. Looking forward to learning from this project and a_bertrand too.

[a_bertrand]

Well my skills are not in the content writing, so if I can have an hand there, it would be really great. Yet if I can have an hand on the code to that would be a plus for sure and if I can both share my ideas and yet even maybe grab some new that's all what I like!

I hope our collaboration will work out well! Welcome on board!

[a_bertrand]

hahaha, no no... Me for sure (unless huge asteroid hits my house), will deliver something. If Hall joins and don't loose all his hairs over my code and ideas, then we may indeed make something interesting. 2 heads are better than one

[vitinho444]

I didn't say in the trailer that you would fail...
The hero in a movie wins every time I wish you both good luck.

Cubicverse looks awesome for real.. You are a good developer, i can't even imagine me doing that engine, i tried but i can't make general things yet you know.

Good Luck.
