Ok, so now that the programming studios is estlabished (sorta), I was wondering if anyone was interested in starting up a group project. It would be fun if we did something that wouldn't take years, Maybe something that we would all pitch in a little bit of work in our speciality. I could write the storyline, Necro could help with sprites, ect. If you are interested, please post here with what you would like to contribute, and if you have any ideas for what the project should be.

LOL, Yes I'd be interested in helping. I can do whatever you need me to do, I don't have any real specialties.

Edit: Wow this is like my 61st post today. To bad they were all in the spam section.

sound like a cool idea, unfortunately group projects tend to die faster than other kind of project though, thats why i always worked alone in the past, but it wouyld be cool if one worked on code, the other one on storyline and the other one on sprites. Problems comes when two person work on the code at once

We could sit down and talk about how we want the code to run and assign certain variables to certain things. We could even have a sort of online table that when you use a variable, you fill it in so that someone else doesn't use it. I don't know. With the activity that Omnimaga has been having, we might be able to pull it off.

and on top of that we are like 14 staff

[/offtopic]Nice title xlibman >D

As for the two coders, we could do as Tenniskid said, and you might want to talk to CDI, as I remember him saying that he made dev kits for all of his projects, maybe he could make one for this.

CDI · « **Reply #8 on:** January 02, 2006, 04:25:00 am »

Sure I could, hell I could make a ton of small things for this

(like a nice drawing tool

or maybe some testing engines ontop of DevKits)

Would this game be an RPG to stick w/ traditional Omnimaga, or something different to show that Omnimaga isn't just for RPGs anymore.

i'd be glad to contribute

i guess my specialty is just routines, i did write up a pretty fast TextRoutine and my walking engine runs at a decent speed

working on a group project could be great or disaster depending on how u do it. i think we could pull it off, as we have some of the best BASIC programmers around

some of everyones ideas?

BCTurk · « **Reply #11 on:** January 02, 2006, 12:45:00 pm »

@DragonLance - That's just fine, we could use a routine guy. I'll count you in for the project.

@TennisKid - I guess that's up to Kevin, but I wasn't nessicarly thinking of a RPG, maybe a Turn-Based Strategy game??

Well...it might be neat to try and put something new and unique together. I should have a lot more time next semester (2 weeks) as my total number of "real" classes plunges to 3. Oh, and I will have a period a day to improve my coding and get additional help for the rest of the year in my IT independent study

.

Possible game styles:
Sci fi, Survival/post apocolyptic, ninja/samuri, fantasy, current time, motor cycle gangs (ala "Akira"), pirates/victorian, sureal

Possible story themes and symbols:
redemption, human condition (a anger at a facilaty of the politico-social machine such as the bureacracies of religous doctrine or the problems of a pure capatalist/monopoly government), love and sacrafice, love and revenge, apathatic killing, the cost of heroism, conformity and anti-conformity, war, being hated, the price of mercy, ect.

Will this be for calc or will it be a computure project (JS, Java, C++, ect) ?

BCTurk · « **Reply #13 on:** January 02, 2006, 01:02:00 pm »

I believe that it will be for the calc (83 series, only because that seems like the calc series that most of us program for). Also, even if someone doesn't program for the 83 series, they could do graphics/ideas. As for the ideas, I'll wait for others input, but I like sci-fi or modern, or a fantasy like game. As I said eairler, we could try for a TBS game, a modern one would be pretty cool.

EDIT: Stupid double posting...

tenniskid493 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 02, 2006, 01:09:00 pm »

Or we could do something similar to Robowar, where we make it for a bunch of different versions of calcs.
