I have and idea of an online homebrew PSP game.
I'm posting this to find some people who would join me and help with the project together as a team. :cool:
I have some basic knowledge in LUA coding for PSP, but I don't expect me writing many lines for the game, though Ill still be learning LUA more and more. :D
What I will be doing is: Writing games story, history, quests, part of NPC dialogues and bios and ultimately planning and creating the game world. The whole game is expected to be in 2 dimensions, but that will be only the beginning. If we get that far of completing 30-40% of the game, we can start early alpha tests. Why? This game will be all about community and RPG, like you go online, pump out a cup of beer with friends, go exploring and adventuring to far lands and city's meeting other people and sort of creating your own story... :)
The features, I must admit, are fairly ambitious and seem like too high to reach, but that is why we would start from 30% of game, which will be enough for the start, because this game will expand even when it reaches its 100%:
O) Chat (or even voice chat or any other communication possibility)
O) Emotions and Emoticons
O) From 2 races and 5 classes, character appearance customization
O) Pet companion
O) Working skills like cooking, fishing, smithing etc.
O) Different ways to travel like land, air and water mounts, personal or cruising.
O) Party and buddy skills like trading, using one mount together etc.
O) Mailing system, Friends list
O) Reputation system
O) Player, Guild, Clan Housing and hideouts
O) Player versus Player, Clan, Guild and world PvP
O) Arenas, Battlegrounds
O) Events and tournaments
O) Mini-games
O) Screenshot taking
O) etc. etc. etc.
As you can see there is quite a lot and difficult features, but we wont be aiming for the difficult ones until we have pretty much finished the game like:
1) 1 or 2 races, 2 or 3 classes at the very start
2) 40 to 50 quests at the start
3) Chat
4) Possibly mailing system
5) 2/7 to 1/3 of the world landscape finished at start
6) Combat system
7) 15 to 30 skills overall at the start
8) Possibly Character creation customization
9) Taking Screenshots (to show bugs or report)
10) Possibly getting the game to connect online already.
The games is, of course, set in a fantasy universe.
But I still haven't decided what style of graphics would fit the best for PSP small screen and online capability's.
No worries about the controls, because I have the all planned pretty much, I think.
Post what you know and what you want to do in this thread to join. If some people join, Ill create blog with forum for the project to use right away. The name for now could be "Stream Online Portable". Stream because I have a pretty neat idea of the world! :D
If this game still seems quite too far to reach yet, there is no problem in stating from smaller games to bigger ones and sooner or later this game shall go live. Every single thing has its solution, and If we wont give up and keep working on it, we shall find it. We are people just like others. We can create great things too, like Sony, Blizzard, Square Enix and all others, all we need is to keep striving to the top and who knows, some day we might release this game in 3D for PSP2(/PSP-4000) or multi-platform. We can become like the big companies, and thous who will fight for it, will achieve it some day. And I am hoping these days I and those who would join with me will not give it all up as long as we still can make it better and better.
Not all are required full, but there are always free space for everyone, very important are people who have some suggestions, since this game is for everyone who has a PSP to enjoy. :)
(I add only those where is at least one. If you want coding, just say so and join.. I'll list you. ;) )
Ill list here all those people who joined:
Story 1/2 : Darksen,
Quests 1/3 : Darksen,
World Map/Environments 1/3 : Darksen,
NPC dialogues/bios 1/2 : Darksen,
I am really hoping this project will live more than a couple of weeks, like all other projects I tried and didn't find anyone able to team up.
Ill be checking this thread regularly for any new posts.
Thank you. ;)
