Firstly: I know that this is shooting for the stars and I'm well aware that it's likely that this will fail, but I just want to give it a shot anyway. I've made enough small games in Slick and I feel the need to do something big!
Anyways... I've already got a couple of people on board for this, and I'm going to give it my all to get it completed and succeed.
Project Details
Game Name: Days of Destiny
Concept: A 2D MMORPG. The outer world (eg. travelling, chatting, etc) will be a bit like the world in Pokemon (tiles, 1 step per tile, yada yada ya) while things like combat will be more arcade-themed (fast paced, skill-dependent combat - although weapons/armour will obviously still play a part. maybe a bit like Street Fighter or Super Smash Bros Brawl?)
Setting: In a post-apocalyptic world, but with super-advanced technology instead of being blasted back into the stone age by the apocalypse, so kind of like a super-modern setting? (and as for how there's technology after an apocalypse: maybe some awesome techno-center was saved from the blast or something like that?)
Storyline: Haven't started thinking about this yet. But I'm sure it won't be too hard to come up with something awesome.
Programming Language: Java (duh!)
Dependencies:
Client-side: Slick/LWJGL (duh!), TWL for GUI, TilED for world
Server-side: MySQL for database storage
Networking: Not sure yet, possibly Apache MINA or just java NIO's Sockets
So... basically I'm here to ask if any of you are interested in joining this project?
Requirements:
Programming Skill: Most people here are great with Slick/LWJGL/Java in general anyway, so yeah. Basically, good Java knowledge/experience, and preferably a moderate amount of experience with Slick, although not necessary, since Slick is a pretty easy to learn library.
Time Requirements: If you're interested, please only ask to join if you have at least an average of 30 minutes a day to work on this; preferably, 1 hour a day free. I'm going to fork out at least 1-2 hours a day myself.
On a side note, I'm also looking for GUI/graphic designers, please drop me a note as well, if you're one and interested.
If you're interested and have questions, or wish to join this project, please reply to this thread, send me a PM or send an email to xquasar_@hotmail.com
Thanks,
Mic
