This is project post for the Book of the Kings roleplaying game.(NOTE; for updated information check this thread's replies)
Concept in short:The aim is to mix both The Elder scrolls III:Morrowind and Diablo with the result of good atmosphere, nice story and hectic gameplay. Also battle system are more magic based than normal "click attack and forget" type of things.
Story in short:I try to play around with concept another realities and mix this with something called stargate ( ever heard of it) but more of this later on.
How big this'll be:Big or average, when I did the first zone (which you can download with Alpha RC package) and its terrain I was amazed how big the terrain started to look when I did more and more details. But this'll be done! I won't just quit after 3 rewrites.
Do I hire people:No I don't hire people do this, yet. I'm planning to get Alpha done (note, the package you can download from this post is only a Release Canditate). When every tool is there and basicly content is only thing that remains I start hiring people.
Please by all means critize
NOTE:The book of the kings start of development -video is OLD OVER 12 MONTHS. just to make it sure that's not the game we're talking about here.
