I have this great idea for a game:

The year is 3034, Mankind has been plunged into a state of total war after the apocolypse that took place just a mere 1000 years before. During this time, An evil and sadistic man by the name of Agaross, claimed a land in the north and started a rule of repression and terror. This land was home to some of the nicest folk around. One of these people is a small girl named Alexia. After Agaross stakes claim of the land, Alexia and her family are banished from the lands into the dark forrests of Morgale. Her mother dies first followed by her father. She vows revenge on Agaross. The game begins where Alexia is a little girl in the forrest and ultimitly leads up to the final battle with Agaross! Please post your resumes here at this forum.

Plot needs work. There are several weak elements.

1. The apocalypse is the end of the world. How would the end of the world start a war? And why would it take 1000 years? That doesn't sound like a "plunge" to me.

2. How come Alexia and her parents were banished? Just for the hell of it?

Anyway, I don't have time to work on a game right now, but good luck!

I'm a C4D b****!

Okay let me explain:

1) When I mean Apocolypse, I mean the end of all modern civilization. So the worlds ends up being sort of like how the world is in the Mad Max movies.

2) Sorry I didn't explain this, Alexia's parents are found to be the heirs to a great forture. Agaross doesn't want them to gain great wealth and revolt against him. That would have came out later in the game.

Game play features:

- As the game progresses, Unlock several new characters to play as and 8 secret characters (One is Agaross)

- Weild several medievel style weapons such as bows, dual-swords, axes, and great swords

- 15 Unique levels to play and 2 secret levels

- MOD COMPATABLE!!!! Make your own Levels, Skins, and Weapons for the game

- Hotseat CO-OP Mode

Doesn't that sound like fun?

Get crackin. Obtain or write an engine, start modeling, and once you start showing some work behind the idea, a bunch of people would be GLAD to help you. Gotta take the initiative though.

What engine do you plan on using? Crystal 3d? Quake? JK? I NEED SPECS!!!!

The future is here, and all bets are off.

With regards to "home to some of the nicest folk around". Lose it, completely.

1) It's not believable
2) Flawed people are far more interesting.

Under a rule of repression and terror most of these people will have hardened to survive and the remaining idealistic people (such as this girl and her family) would be relatively few. Actually an idea might be that this is the "official" reason why they (and maybe some other people) were banished, so that you have something believable before the whole heir-to-fortune thing is revealed.

go, learn, design, develop

design is a HUGE point i can not stress enough. without a properly thought out design document(s) you can not develop (or you will but you'll have a continuous migraine =P)

ask questions on GarageGames, read the Resources and such... also, check GamaSutra for design help.

i thought about this being the anti-sig... or the sig virus... or the sig of your nightmares... but i decided that some painful rhetoric might work instead...
just kidding.

well, here's my input as somehone who's been working on a game for awhile: GET ALL OF YOUR DESIGN WORK DONE FIRST. Got, BWFS is so backed up on designs that there's been no actual production in a while. In fact, I haven't touched the project in a few months myself.

Sounds a little complex. Do you actually have any programming experience, or are you planning on learning as you go. From what you say the game will consist of, it sounds pretty extreme. How about a total conversion for JK, at least that would be easier than creating a game from scratch.

Why dont you just damn him to hell then?

------------------
The future is here, and all bets are off.

I will now answer all your questions:

1) I will be using the Xtreme 3D engine produced to create 3D games using the hit 2D game maker, GAME MAKER by Mark Overmars. It uses MD2, MD3, and 3DS model types.

2) I have some expericence with game production but I have never had the chance to work on somthing this big.

3) JK TOTAL CONVERSION?!? ARE YOU MAD????

4) It is a little complex I'll admit, But arn't all games complex?

Be sure to post any ideas of comments

P.S. Garage Games is a good web site, but it cant help me here.

you said you wanted a team... there are tons of developers there. just ask and see if anyone is interested.

i think the story needs some work... but that's just me
