The Wheel Weaves PC

[RandomJester~RLV]

Well I finaly got alot of the introduction done on the game! I'll edit this and put up some screen shots from the closed alpha in a few minutes, I'm working on the map system and the areas, such as the villiage my character (*read my rp) started in. I'm currently working on white-bridge, and the black tower also (*other areas too, I'm just to lazy to list them all)

[Tony]

I think you should explain to the public what you are talking about.

[RandomJester~RLV]

yes...I should..meh ok here goes a long drawn out post ^_^;;;

Ok one night about three weeks ago, I started to code in ruby, a battle system for the mmorpg I wanted to do, about wheel of time. But instead of a mmorpg, I decied to make a singleplayer-multiplayer game, based upon some of the roleplaying done here by

Tem
Victor
Bob
Tony
Tsuki
My-self

Atleast those are the people I have contacted...or asked tony to contact..either way. I've got the code-ing almost done for a beta release (*November 30 is a EARLY release date for the BETA only)

Now your "class" doesn't really exist..atleast at this point unless your part of the black tower (*the staff) then your class is not-only based upon your choices, but your rank on the staff (* like say tony will be part of the black tower) BUT that is just a choice I'm not sure I'm going to make just yet...Also there will be a choice and follow system, like KOTOR....no I can't use there's because it's copyrighted >_>. Anyway...yeah that is the basic idea, the introduction to the game starts out by asking you what character you would like to start out as, (*from the list of people aboves roleplaying) then you play through there bio (*only alittle diffrent, combat only though because say the character lost in the RP, you may win in the game.) and then the roleplaying they are currently working on.


Any questions? (*PM me if you want to be in the game, BUT you must have atleast two posts of roleplaying and a aproved character bio.)

(*note; it would be really helpfull if everyone could tell me who there active characters are.)

[Tony]

It sounds really interesting and I'd like to see how it turns out. And if you do need more material for my character, tell me. I can whip something up for you.

[RandomJester~RLV]

well what I really need is my friend to finish up the midi's, but besides that I need a list of people's characters that they want in the game. And I need a spriter =P but I think I can get a friend of mine to do it if he isn't to busy. Also vote in the poll I just created!.

[Taigikori]

Will this be like RO? If you were rich, I'd demand you put this in Guild Wars format.

[RandomJester~RLV]

not quite the grade of RO, maybe alittle les, but better animation, all hand done not generated. The sprite's are about as good as chronotrigger I'm sorry to say ^_^;;; but that's the best format to use for the style of game I want to create. IF I did manage to get into guild wars format it would just come out as a mod on a private server.

[Temanin]

*drools over Guild Wars*

So, RO's pretty cool and I like Chrono Trigger, so it sounds like it's all good. Just as long as you actually finish it...XP

[RandomJester~RLV]

I'm working hard as we speak =P currently 4,500 lines of code are in the introduction, 150,000 lines into the menu/fighting/items/skills. And about 15% done on the story ^_^

[Tony]

w00t! Go Jester!

[RandomJester~RLV]

I hired a friend who is in a band to do all the music, now they are high grade, but don't expect stuff luke LoTR OST or WoW OST. Just enough to set it apart from the average RPGMXP game.

Also my dad is willing to do some draft-art work for me, so there is now a art-work room! Currently it's all weapons, and one character. Don't expect to much we've been really busy working outside to keep our driveway open T_T.

I also found a key to sound effects, I was on a movie fan site, and there was a ton of things on how to create sword clashing, sheild splinter-ing sound effects! This will again set my game a-head about the others...I hope.

Also I'm coding my idea of the infinity engine, this will not be used in the game, atleast in the beta. So for all those NW or KOTOR fans out there, you will already understand how to play. (*note my system is point based, sorry a EXP based system is alittle above my head.)

For those that don't know, it's basicly a tally of all the good things, and bad things you have done. This will DIRECTLY infulance the ending of the single player game, online it doesn't. I will NOT be using the old D&D "lawfull, chaotic, Evil" system if anyone has a idea for the titles of them, please submit them via e-mail or directly on this topic.

Also a taint-system will be created for all Channelers (*male only) but that won't be used so much in the single player/co-op mode as much as online (*it would be hourly, you can only weave so much with out going "mad" for 10 minutes and not being able to channel, I'm sorry if that seems alittle light on the fact that the taint is permenet but I'm just doing that to add more fun.)

[Temanin]

I got 'er stickied for you. I doubt anyone will complain.

And I'm liking it, thus far. Where, in randland, is that located? Just curious.

Keep up the good work.

[RandomJester~RLV]

see that is one of the things I haven't quite nail down yet ^_^;; another reason I haven't been able to move along with the story as fast as I wanted to Y_Y any sugestions? I was thinking of generate-ing a nameless town between whitebridge and four kings.

[Tony]

Go for it.

And the taint could be like a poison that connot be cured. For some, the poison can take a lot of HP and others a small amount. It would all be chance.

[RandomJester~RLV]

good idea, that saves the the trouble from working in a time constrain on how long it lasts. Thanks Tony!
