ACTION BIRD - demo coming soon
ROMAC STUDIOS™ wants to announce their first game
ACTION BIRD-
A 3d Arcade Game with puzzling levels full of action all the time, suitble for all ages.
(www.romacstudios.com)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story: (briefed)
Up in the deep reaches of the blue skies, the bird kindom has started to realize they too want what the humans have. Every century, one bird, one special unique bird, has a chance to have it all - become the bird with the honor, the bird with the respect, to recieve the honor of being the one and only, the action bird - and that bird is you! But before you can recieve this honor, you must complete a series of trial. You are not the only bird that wants to become the action bird. All birds from all around the world come and try to finish all trials, knowing if they win, they would become the action bird and hold that title for the century ahead.
The action bird will finally get the respect a bird deserves. In the game there are three main trials, each consisting of levels:
The Trial of Intelect- The first trial, which will test your ability to find your way through confusing puzzles, and jump your way through levels full of obstacles.
You will have to find your way through complex and puzzling levels, and do it as smooth as possible, because one wrong move and you will find yourself falling into the deep reaches of space and time.
The Trial of Strength - This is the second trial. Here you will be tested on your ability to being the stronger bird. Levels will include riding motorcycles and controling the "Power Ball".
The Trial of Dignity - The last and hardest trial of them all. Here you will be tested on random things regarding showing off your bird skills. You will also be tested on the most important thing of all, your dignity. Levels will include Racing in different types of vehicles (e.g cars, planes) and other unknown levels that will only be shown after beating over 100 levels in the game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-motorcycle riding, power sphere, player skating - all with full physics

You know what, to answer everyones comments. The 4 posts is due to lack of activity. I went on to better development systems with the army. My contracts are slowing so I decided to jump back in again. I'm not 11, I'm 23 and I work at the Pentagon as a Sr. Network Engineer. I do this out of hobby interest, not financial, I make more money then most people employed at a game development studio.
My types of comments will come, from me, or from somone else who does'nt like what he see's. I was commenting on the lies. They have no publisher. And as I've stated before, ANY publisher will kiss your ass so you choose them to make a profit for distributing your work. Trust me, I used to be the 15 year old kid trying to publish a game. I recived many similar responses.
The point is, don't mislead people, you already lost a potential customer. If what you say is true about the level artwork simply not being completed, then why post it in showcase 2? Looks like a bunch of wip textured cubes to me. The 20 bucks will be paid if you get this published with proof. I was being serious. I'll even buy a copy of the game to eat my own hat so to speak.
Your problem is that your obviously a kid. Unless your 18 (in america anyways) you can not be legally or financialy bound to a company via contract. You would have to get an adult to co-sign the contract. You will also need to apply for intellectual proporty rights before you publish your game, which cost a few hundred bucks, then in order to accept a commercial payment, you must be at least an LLC company. Which means you are liable for damages and profits gained. That costs several thousand.
And Sebation is right, I'd be glad to show you my work if it was'nt classified. I'm in the process of getting altered models approved for unclassified viewing. Removing logo's and altering designs enough to not represent the actual product.
I wish you more luck then anyone on this board getting the game going, if you prove me wrong i'd be happy. I'm just tired of the same posts every day. "Hey look at our new game, it's gunna be cool, and we have a publisher" Only to find out it's crap software, and there was never any publisher. Anyway I talk too much. Have fun.
@loler
You've seen Army sims... think about it. Would they release images of a new simulation program, that details cockpit layouts and undeveloped aircraft? No... They would not. What you are seeing, and I get asked this many times, are discontinued products that contain old vehicles and technology. I've seen the images your talking about though. I would say it's easy to make that mistake. I'm just a contractor, I rarely get to see the sim in action. But what i've seen blows away any public pc sim you've probably seen.
And sorry for the typos.

Hello Pentagon Pal,
Pentagon huh? That's a new one. Usually we get "I'm a professional game programmer", " I'm a corporate CEO" or even "I'm the crator of PacMan", but never from the Pentagon.
Nice angle, Painiac!
Does zero for your cred, but at least you are original! 
Quote:

Pentagon Pal, I suspect the lies flow in the other direction and you are commenting on your lies, since Romac never lied about his dealings. I believe this is all new to him and thus he miscommunicated his "contract". This is hardly a lie, as he is not engaging in posting information with the purpose of misleading and making himself look better (mr. 23 yr old Sr. Net. Pentagon expert )
Quote:
And as I've stated before, ANY publisher will kiss your ass so you choose them to make a profit for distributing your work. Trust me
Oh we trust you.
After all, you have posted that you are 23 and in the pentagon as a SENIOR NETWORK ENGINEER.
And since there isn't a single SENIOR NET job that doesn't require at least 5 years of experience, this means
grad HS at 18,
work five years in teh field,
apply for and get a Govt. Sr. Net Job on your first try.....
thus at best you have been working there for all of one month.
uh-huh 
Well, guess that's good enough for me to believe EVERYTHING you post.
Anyone need any other proof that Pentagon Pal knows what he is talking about? I dont'!

That was all of, EIGHT years ago?! LOL And now you return the favor by acting just like the pain-in-the-ass detractors that attacked you. NIce way to keep this sick cycle alive!
Atacking others as they attacked you....whose acting like a kid now?
Quote:

I'm sure all their other customers are right at this moment WEEPING over this revalation.
ROMAC, you should redouble your efforts to bring Pentagon Pal back into your good graces. God forbid you lose ONE(1) customer!!!

You can still act like a kid at 23. I think you have made that "obvious" for us, thanks.
Quote:

This is absolutly true and something anyone under 18 better remember!!!!
Most under-18 years old dont' know this and work under false premises for it.
As you stated, there are ways around this including legal emancipation and parental consent.
However, a CONTRACT IS NOT NECESSARY for a buisness dealing; dont' confuse the inability to sign a contract with a minor to mean you can't do buisness with them. All it means is that you cannot enforce any "buisness" with a minor. If you and a 10 year old go into buisness together without the parent consent, there is NOTHING ILLEGAL; you just can't make or enforce contracts with him, but money can still be excahnged, you can make any contract you want with the parent, you can put the money in escrow until they turn 18, and it's buisness as normal for the kid.

WRONG!
MOVE!
a) IP rights have NEVER been a pre-req for pub games. Matter of fact, do you have ANY idea whatsoever exactly WHAT rights registering your IP gives you? It will cost you THOUSANDS of dollars, take no less than 3 years, and STILL, after all that, it still has nothing to do with your ability to pub or not pub.
b) I guess you are a SENIOR NET TECH, but an NEWBIE BUISNESSMAN. This is an absolute lie. A LLC only serves to insulate the buisness from the person; ie like filling chap 11 and such. IT IS IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM A PRE-REQ TO GETTING PAID!!!
Every heard of PayPal, Pentegon Pal?

Anxious to see what a 23 yr. old Sr. Net. Pentagon expert has to show us.
Guessing this is where the Pentagon Cover could story comes in handy..."Sorry, I would love to show my work, but OH, look at that, "classified"....sorry, you'll just have to take my word for my greatness!"

Do you have ANY idea where you are? These forums are not the Pentagon, things are NOT done in the Military way and people DO need a pat on the back when they go above and beyond what others have done with the same tools. Crap is subjective; compared to Unreal EVERYTHING here is crap. Compared to Blitz, EVERYTHING here is gold.
I think I have the perfect solution if you are tired of reading those posts.....
<<<--------door.

Not likely.
I've been involved in teraflop lattice simulations;
I've been involved in Black Hole/Galaxy collision simulations;
My thesis had me simulate the begining of the universe up to now and check to see if alternative universe "bubbles" popped up in our sim.
I've seen and participated the next generation of VR at the Ohio Supercomputing Center.
I've participated and been exposed to Quantum Computing.
All of this public and done by a Chilean Citizen in the USA; it's hard to "blow away" this ol' boy!
Say, speaking of what you've seen, out of curiosity (and I know you CAN answer these questions):
Where you or are you involved with WARLORDS, DARWARS, or the DMAO?
Are you or were you involved with the FBCB2 or the TBMCS?
Are you or where you involved with DCS1000 or ECHELON?

Fastlane, have you ever.... Good advice, and take it in the manner that it appears to have been offered. Don't put your eggs in one baslet, no promises have been made by the publisher, and we can assume no commitment was made by the authors. Shop it around. "Everybody wants to be a millionaire". My advice is free, and remember, with my advice you always get what you paid for. Congratulations on the first steps with getting your game published, Romac Studios! I wish you continued success, and the best deal from the best publsiher you can entice. Mark

I think you're a bit too optimistic, when I saw the screens and you were stating Jowood would publish the game I was like...right. Now some posts futher it comes down to a standard publisher reply. I really do not want to offend you but prevent you from a big dissappoint. I'm walking around a bit longer in this business then you I guess and do have a game published so I'm know a bit what I'm talking about  Publishers like valuesoft for instance are more likely to publish your game at the end, not the ones like Jowood by looking at their line-up of games and their quality. Be realistic, I wasnt often and received my portion of dissappointments. The amount of projects in general I've seen going down the drain is quite high, and I think that counts for the most that are doing good now (your first 10 games are bad? ) I think with more improvements you'll make it a too a budget publisher earn some nice money and grow futher in this business. I wish you all the best and I think your game concept has enough potential.
