Potential Project

[Sim9]

Auran is giving out $100,000 in prizes to development teams, not to mention a free almost-expensive engine to entering teams. All that needs to be entered is a short demo or prototype, not full game (read: polished HT-style hack :P )

So to the point: HT-Dev team: Anyone interested in this? Doesn't have to be submitted until July so we still have plenty of time. At this point I'm interested in the following ideas:

- Something with plot and story
- Machinima is something that I'd love to include: short cutscenes would be great
- I was playing the Super Metriod the other day, and really was enjoying the open ended feeling of exploration
- Was playing some old rpgs (yes, emulator binge :P ) and liked the dialog and world interaction

Not that we'll be able to incorporate all of these ideas into one game demo, but I wanted to know everyone else's thoughts about this?

I like the idea,but any ideas i make up wont be for a RPG,i am a FPS player,i play FPS games,and the occasonial TPS,so,if you have it in aFPS mode,ill help out,if not all my ideas (world looks,character looks,etc) will be in vein anyways,ive always wanted to make a DEUS EX like RPG FPS without the extreme laggyness of DEUS EX engine,for those of you willing to help out with an idea,or think its worth a shot give me a holla.P.S: for a piece of that 100,000 ill put as much effort into any game yas need. rest goes to HTNET (i need a new comptuer,3k :)

I would be happy to help you guys out with game design, art, and code pieces for a small cut... 1k-2k. Of course, QE comes first, but I am happy to help. Besides, it is unlikely we will win, this contest is big and we are talking the best of the best.


I have a great old game idea that never got underway... Wartorn was its name (WOAH! THAT IS A GOOD NAME FOR QE!). I have the design doc right here if you are interested. I wrote the entire plot of it. The idea was to combine ingame-scripts and machinima to convey a final fantasy style story line, with FPS gameplay. RPG storyline, FPS gameplay. Best of both worlds. The gameplay would be largely arcadey, with a lot of large-scale combat with team mates (that you never control). It was a serious push towards the feel of FFX, just an FPS.

Anyway, here is the design doc (http://members.cox.net/frazee/Wartorn.doc), written by me, revised by some guy by the name of XTS_Highlander. He really didn't do much. Anywho...

more info plz simmy m8?
like whats the top prize and we have to make it on this engine?
I am working on this other thing at the moment which is heavy on what you may call Machinima and very very heavy on storyline. Unfortunately its really designed for one engine while nothing has actually been done using engine tools. What im saying is, for 100,000 i'd make sweet love to a smelly hairy tramp in a dustcart.

I'd also introduce anyone whos good enough to the team and go for the prize money. I know I may not have the most respect on this network, but all the same, do not confuse disrespect with inability. I run a good mod.

Something to think about.
