Don't forget the Spiritian mines!!! Off the coast of the desert!

I could help with monster designs and abilities, but I have no experience and no intention of gaining any experience with much of any software at all.

Dont worry about the programming... I hopefully have that covered...

Do you consider yourself a hacker, Joshua?

by **JorgasElite** Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:12 pm

?Joshua?

That guy was one of my friends who told you that. I don't know why, It's not my name. And I'm not a hacker!

I can be an artist!

Start working on some prototype sprites then Wink

Jorgas, obviously, I wasn't talking to you, I am talking to Joshua. Not you, not one of your goofy friends, but Joshua.
Second of all, learn the term hacker. You don't know what it really means.

by **_IncoherentRain_** Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:24 pm

thunderpants=Joshua?

and i cant make anything computer-based, partially because of lack of knowledge/skill, and partially because of my lack of a decent computer with updated software.

Well everyone can submit them, but only popular/good ones will get through!

No, Boy I do not, I wouldn't waste my time doing it... I would get my hacker RL friends to do it for me Razz

Also, I have thought for the game, why not make the "characters" randomly unlock, with several levels of characters.

All Character have, move 1/2/3 and a 1 range "smash" attack

Level 1 Characters have 1 ability (passive or active!)
Level 2 Characters have 2 abilities
Level 3 Characters have 3 abilities
Level 4 Characters have 4 abilities
Level 5 Characters have 5 abilities
Level 6 Characters have 5 abilities (and 1 Extra-strength non-unique power!)

Higher level characters are rarer, and more powerful! Lower level characters can upclass gaining strength but not abilities!

When you fight, you must now take the map into consideration and everybody locations since your 1 move will be followed by everyone elses movement then attack. I hope to give AI's random "personas" which dictate how they will move/attack..

I also would like every character as unique as possible!

by **Ryiin Taemera** Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:28 pm

Being skilled in programming and having programming as your hobby is as much as needed to be called a hacker.

The unique sprite characters might take a while. I have a lot of ideas, but not so much room (16x16).

Well, to hack into a website is computer misuse and is upto 5 years jail time...

So Nah, I'm not hacker...

I can only make robots! I think everyone should just sprite as much as they can and then submit as many as possible, so we can pick good ideas and improve/embellish them!

I've got my Gemtron idea sprited, I'm just going to upload it tomorrow... Along with my attack idea template!

You are talking about a black-hat hacker, better known as a cracker.

In UK Hackers are anyone who breaks into stuff, people who program are just nerd/geeks/programmers!

by **Ryiin Taemera** Wed Mar 09, 2011 10:05 pm

Ugh. That is what everybody thinks. Hackers are criminals, they're all the same.
It's a good image representing the world's biggest problem: Hordes of people, who don't know what they talk about.

by **JorgasElite** Thu Mar 10, 2011 1:32 am

I do know what hackers are. What do you think, I don't know what a cat is? I don't know even where Joshua came from (thunderpants), when I heard hacker I thought you meant of me because of my stupid "friends" spreading lies.

by **Ryiin Taemera** Thu Mar 10, 2011 1:38 am

You confuse me sometimes. Though most of the time, you make me laugh out loud.

by **JorgasElite** Thu Mar 10, 2011 2:42 am

Oh my. Thank you. That was either a threat, an insult or a compliment. I think all three. What about you?

Also, I was thinking of having these giant toads that would devour you if you didn't kill it soon enough. Also, you could get different types of armour and weapons, starting with your fists, and then you could get a number of weapons; maces, swords, claymores, daggers, staffs, axes and many more! I was also thinking of having rare but awesome weapons that are, for instance, darkness claws. I'll put up more weapons tommorow.

by **Ryiin Taemera** Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:23 pm

In what way did you see that as a threat? Razz

I don't know about weapons, I would think they came as standard with the characters, but a giant toad is a good idea, get spriting!

Also, I have offered one of my close RL friends the ability for him to submit a character, in exchange for help with the programming... He is very like me, but thinks very differently to me when it comes to programming, which helps get over problems... (Plus his sprites are really really cool/weird/strange... Secret character anyone?)

by **_IncoherentRain_** Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:22 pm

could be a threat like: "You confuse me son. I gonna kill you!"

i see insult and compliment, though.

by **thunderpants** Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:59 pm

Oh something we need to come up with! Attack "Types"...

I think we need a circle of elements, and "Arcane" and "Robot" should be two of them...

by **_IncoherentRain_** Thu Mar 10, 2011 6:12 pm

You need your basic Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Ice, Electric, Plant, but i think we should try to come up with different names like Aqua and Pyro instead of Water and Fire.

I think we should go with,

Terra (Earth)
Pyro (Fire)
Aqua (Water)
Atmos (Wind)
Arcane (Magic Energy)
Robotic (Robotic Energy)

With this reacting with each other and dealing double damage!
Terra - Atmos
Pyro - Aqua
Arcane - Robotic

by **_IncoherentRain_** Fri Mar 11, 2011 8:46 pm

Then we need weakness and resistance

by **thunderpants** Fri Mar 11, 2011 9:27 pm

_IncoherentRain_ wrote:Then we need weakness and resistance

I prefer the system of certain elements dealing double damage to others, making them more reactive/risky!

Ofcouse there would be elementless, which reacts with nothing!

by **kingnecromancer** Sat Mar 12, 2011 1:54 am

How about death and life elements? And a God element for a Level 100 character.
Also, how about a multiplayer for this? where you can choose a starting race from the Rp's active member races.
