------------------------------------------------------------------
I got nothing so far..... lol

Storyline: Hundreds of years after the ice caps have melted, people live n floating masses of land or cities. You are a tradesman, in search of fame and wealth, and one of the many in serch for the legendary city, (insert name here), the city that holds the knowledge of a lush, habitable land.

SOmething like that... inspired by some movie... Laputa i think and waterworld.


Genre: RPG

Terrain-Badlands. Mostly water

Heres an idea of what u may see. ( i didnt make this but this is what may be in the map)



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Battle System - simple weapon/tool switching system. Real time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In game: At least three different classes. Different roles. You can become a leader of a group, own different ships, cities, trade, establish alliances, create enemies, join others (ai groups) in the serach of the legendary city and a few side quest. No cut scenes excep for intro.

The point of the game is to find The Legendary city and perhaps the famed land before everyone else.

Time to beat: at least 1:30

I could probably help in June.
I don't have too much creativity. I'm 'good' with terrain.
Big problem is that I'm a person that likes things done my way.

[AP]

WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON! YOUR HIRED! post ideas or w/e

more partnerrs welcomed

[AP]

wth where the damn edit button?



new ideas



Cities

City 1 - Your home city, adventurer. You were born here and grew here. Everyone is your freind. You work for a kind master. Your dream is to some day leave this city and find the fabled city, Laputa.

City 2 - No one who leaves this city will want to return. Crime everywhere. The police are corrupt and they want your ship.

City 3 - Visit its docks where new airships will be made to your order or stay a while in the city. Why not take the tour around its famed docks in the only cable car in the world?

Island 1 - Ah... the fresh smell of the bueatilful crops, so rare, so bueatiful. Island 1 is one of the few island with capapale of producing edible crops thanks to its irrigation pipe. Get to know the nice farmers who live here, and perhaps, hunt for the legendary orb of Ocissolis while your there.

Island 2 - The dark barren lands repels visitors, but tempts them to journey its cave to find the map to the fabled city, Laputa.

Pirate Island - DANGER Maintain a 15km radius around this island. You will risk being attacked or boarded.

The great carrier - Own by the Barron and his Mistress, this ship has a crew of 300 men, and is the fastest and biggest non fan propelled ship ever. This ship has its own elite jet team and has been in search for Laputa for many many years. The Barron and the mistress may be the only ones who even have an idea of its exsistance.

Laputa - Fabled city.... the one that will create dry land for us, provide us a civilization, the city of rebirth. There thousand of bounties out there for any proof of Laputa's exsistance. This is the city said to be created by the scientist who perdicted the great flood 3 thousand years ago, when metal servants did all of the work, and fire jet engines that fly faster than a thousand air ships. The story goes that fire jet engines roam around the city at night protecting the city and metal servants gaurd the great mind called Computer. Computer was one of the scienetist who created Laputa, he is over 3000 years old and only he knows the location of the dry land and the true power of Laputa.


All cities/islands/etc will be made with terrain except for the great carrier which will be made wih a carrier unit.

i can do all of that (i know terrain + trigs because of my bound making days) but i dont know how to use the windows sound recorder, or at least ive never done it before, what sounds would u need anyways?

[AP]

sounds arent important right now.... You want to help?

i need names for places...

[Laharl]

What the heck. I volunteer. I'm more of an "ideas person". Terrain is almost beyond me, triggers not so much though.

[Lwek]

Here's my attempt at an island terrain. Spent a couple minutes on it.
Edit: I made another one with a a waterfall.

[AP]

i already have terrain undercontroll.... all i need is sumone to place doodads to hid blockyness cuz im lazy... names are nice too...

what would be a good name for the Barron of the Carrier ship?

I want his name to sound powerful/well known/ rich/ etc

[Hot Action Akule]

hehehehe i love doodads. Just thought i'd show it off a bit.... if you need help let me know. I realize thats overkill and wasteful but it was just for fun.
