Name: Rob Quill

Position: I will do anytthing except graphics because i am no artist. My programming skills are not great as I cannot do any graphics, but the main reason I got involved in this project was to learn to do graphics so doing programming is fine but I don't know how much use I'd be.

I think we need to get started on this project.  I feel that people are just waiting for someone to start.  Everyone that wants to work on a tile-based game RPG style can work on one game, and if those who want to work on a spaceship shooter with prize money for enhancements can work on that game.

 

Either way we need the following:

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

1) Decide on Game Type (ie. Tile-based game)

        Deadline:  *2 weeks Ago*

        Decision: Tile-Based (those who don't like this idea can start there own game)

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

2) Decide on Game Idea (ie. Final Fantasy Clone) Look at http://game.fusoftdesign.com for some ideas.

        Deadline: *April 5th*

        Decision:   [please go to http://game.fusoftdesign.com and vote with name and idea or just post to this mailing list.]

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

3) Create Team

        Story Writers - Develop a story either linear or quasilinear (linear with a few choice paths)

        Programmers - (Core,Graphics(code), Network(multiplayer), Input, Main Loop etc.)

        Graphics - Intro Screen, Characters, GUI, anyother graphical piece

        Level Designers - Create the levels/ worlds

        Design - Think up every detail of the game down to what's color is the object inside the treasure chest of square (2,4)

        Testers - For later.

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

    Please respond with EMAIL , FIRST NAME (or nickname), AND POSITION YOU CAN HELP WITH!

        also include any ideas you have about the game.

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

4) Develop Story (ie. Obvious)

5) Make Game Design Doc (ie. Details on everything in the game)

6) Discuss coding style and languages and development issues

7) Discuss what Characters and World will look like for the graphics artists

8) Discuss what sounds and music there will be.

9) Discuss Finishing details.

10) Create framework / psuedocode for main aspects of game.

11) Create rough graphics, music, sound, level designs, AI of players.

12) [for later]......

 

Just thought I'd get this moving because we need to be on a schedule.
