I am currently trying to build the biggest iso community on the net......we have the programmers, we have the concept artists we need iso and pixel artists our team currently consists of: 2 professional back-end programmers 2 professional graphic designers numerous art students 1 professional web designer we are working to create a massive online community based in mediaevil times, so lots of castles dragons, kinghts, orcs goblins, trolls....well basically think lord of the rings........in the community people will be able to decided on what creature they would like to start as, and of course they can alter and change the characters head shape, eyes, clothes.....all the usual....as people play in the community they can better their characters skills in magic, fighting, commerce, black magic, battle tactics and many many more ......... their aim.......to be cometo king of the land..............so who ever id the current king watch out cos everyone wants to kill you.................players can do this either becoming the ultimate warrior and recruit other players to join forces to over run the kings castle and ran sack his treasury...................or people can create a huge business empire: owning blacksmiths, bakeries, butchers, farms and numerous others, in an attend to become to richest player, and be able to buy the king out, or simple just hire a huge army to destroy him......................as players get better and better and their money in the game increases they will be able to upgrade their homes and shops and buy bigger and better tools so they can produce more and make more money. does this sound like something you would be interested in helping with? if so either drop a post or email me at xtremetom@hotmail.com. our current business play is to produce a working prototype in about 3-5 months which we can then take to major corporations for possible investment. cheers tom |

Do you have some information about what you've got so far? It might help entice people to see your level of dedication to the project. It's frustrating working on a project that fizzles out when the people working on it get board. I'd be interested in participating if you are committed to seeing it through. |

Actually thinking about it............if we couldstrike up a deal (business or friendly) due you think it would be possible for us to set this whole thing up as a massive joint project between your website and its members and my team of programmers. i figure we could work it as a joint business venture in which you will receive massive amounts of free publicity and some money when the community goes public.....afterall we are aiming to beat the likes of habbo and coke music. not to mention your members will get international recognition for their work.........i figure it as win win situation for both of us. let me know what you think please cheers tom |

Hey.. I'm more interested in the actual features of this online battle community. Like how will the battles take place? In real time? Turn based? Need more info. What kind of stats would you have and how do they improve? How do you stop one player from getting so good because they play 12 hours a day from being the king forever? Alot of unanswered questions. I have to admit I'm interested but I'd like to know alot more about the intricate details... if you have them worked out. Otherwise, designing battle features/statistics etc. is my forté, so I'd be glad to help out. |

that's right, i said it

The battle side of things has not yet been totally sorted, however i would love the battles to be in real time, to give the whole a bit more of real feel. so this part of design is yours if you want it. if you do want to join the project properly please send me your: email address, full name occupation nickname and if you or other people that want to join, dont mind, once given that info about you i can post your name, occupation and nickname on the website currently in production, you can be posted as production members. as far as the king forever goes......i am open to ideas, i do have numerous, but juggling them about at the mo.......so people chuck your ideas this way please actually any ideas for the whole project are very welcome. cheers tom |

For every second spent wondering if you can do something, you could spend 2 seconds doing it.

I don't have any control over what the members of Pixel Joint do... If you guys want to contribute to this project feel free to use Pixel Joint's forum as a meeting place to post art and game ideas and all that and the Pixel Joint gallery to show off your finished pieces. If the members of Pixel Joint are a useful resource for the game project I would suggest compensating them on an individual basis when your project gets off the ground. The whole purpose of the forum is for collaborative projects like this and I hope this game project does well. I'm sure once you get a few people posting their pieces here for the project more people will gradually join in. Pixel Joint will support any project that benefits our members and we're always happy to promote their work. If there's anything specifically Pixel Joint can do for you please PM sedgemonkey and we'll do our best to help out. |

Thank you very much for your support on this matter.....hopefully this will speed up project production no end with regards to paying those who do particpate, at the cuurent time i have not received a business loan or any sponsorship for this project, however as soon as a beta has been completed i already have a few investors who are willing to invest given that they can see a way they can make money from it...plus i will be taking to major companies and corporations to hunt for sponsorship. the day we go commerical everyone who helped with the project will get their fair share of the booty......plus once we go commerical, people who contributed may also be offered a job on the permanent project team, to help with production of new ideas and community content....... hope this project will spark some imaginations. |

The game engine for this project will be director mx, used purely because of programmer preference, we will be running a FUSE light style system.......at the moment: it should include the word Med-EviL and include anything from dragons-knights-orcs and goblins...you choose it can be 234/60 pixels or 468/60pixels again you choose....have fun.

Hey Tom, I've pm'd you my details, everything but my e-mail. It's the same as my msn. I was thinking that real time probably won't work, since you'll get people who are stuck on dial-up and will be jittering around in the middle of battles, costing their army lives. I think a final fantasy/heroes of might &magic style battle system with our own unique touches would be cool... especially since it's an isometric game, the heroes thing would be easy. The eternal King thing could be solved by either putting a limit to how strong you can get, which I think is the best idea, or giving each player a lifespan, so after a while a player will age and die. I've got ideas coming out of my ears, dude. Maybe we should get together on MSN or something. |

this was supposeto upload much smaller..but hey what do you think? pic removed at artists request.
but obviously we would need to have animated versions.......although people would need to be slightly smaller so that this kinda character looks over powering. Edited by xtremetom |
