The Book of the Kings -RPG

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.

Information about Alpha RC

Ooh, I will have to check it out later! I love TES:Morrowind, but I am more fond of Oblivion and the Shivering Isles.

For real:

No Character Animations
Bad Level Design
Bad player code

The only nice think is the music, which is nice...

Wow, a little harsh.
Maybe this is still considered a beta? Also, you should suggest something to help him.

As for you Warlori,

I still haven't gotten to it, but if what Rei says is true, maybe you should try animating the characters, and optimizing gameplay.

@Rey
"at the moment I'm still compressing new gameplay video"
My computer has slown down today both in terms of dsl speed and cpu usage so it'll take a while appererntly until I get a decent size movie to upload to tube (100mb video for 2 minutes is quite much): I'd suggest you to load the packet if you want updated view remind you that video was (now 2 days left) 12 months ago

Joqun thank you but don't expect anything brilliant in the terms of effects as this is only alpha rc.

No problem, and I don't expect anything, unless I know it is coming for sure.

it isn't too bad. going back to what rei said, yes it does need a bit of work, but if it is still in alpha stage then it shouldn't really matter too much.

looking good though!

not dloading without screens. people should learn that...

if the game is in the same state as on the video, you
should really wait before posting anything yet.
Its very early beginner level.

Try to first learn how to make a reather decent level for example,
and then work on making a basic animated walking player-actor.

As this sure takes alot attention and some confusion here's a picture how it looked two weeks ago ,or so

Know that I shouldn' have done this hread before the new vid was on the tube but went on with bshit attitude (: It has worked before like a charm so it'll work again)

You've set the bar for yourself, and you seem to be making progress. But to be honest, you don't have *anything* worth showing yet.

You won't impress anyone until you've made some good, solid work on the actual game. Finish some models, make some good levels, and get some of the most basic and important gameplay elements in there. If you're having trouble putting some graphics together, then make a gameplay demo that does a good job portraying what your game will be like. You can also recruit an artist to help you out.

Once you've done all this, then you should post some info on your project.

agreed that this don't have anything that'd impress anyone (well unless you're sado-codist and see how badly I've commented out my code )

But yes I should try to find an artist and I will when I've finished the next milestone and this thread is mostly to show artists what I'm looking for. So this is sorta project and advertisement thread.

And most of all this thread was important to me to see how well this'd be taken by the community at this stage (obviously not so well) so I can push myself more and more doing this and gain motivation.

(Oh and last question I can update things here after I've got material for a new video?)
