DeathShard Productions Is Making a Game

[Vanik Hardil]

Hey, I dont know if you guys heard but the Owner of DeathShard Productions Jeremy Lewis just announced the beginning of development for a new RPG game for the PC.

In this game Jeremy tells about a very interesting storyline with a load of twists and spirals, featuring a wide range of character's with distinct personalities.

I am telling you guys that this is a very cool thing, you guys can check out more here;

From what he says i guess you can send him idea's for more character's and stuff like that through that link above, i guess you can just scroll down and put in comments and such into the quick comment box and it will be sent strait to him.

Discuss.

[Illusion]

I'll check it out.

EDIT - The link brought me back to this thread.

Exactly, I am Jeremy Lewis, and I am the owner of DeathShard Productions, I will be making a RPG for the PC and I would like you guys to help, I need Names/Characters/etc./etc.

I already have some stuff planned out but I need help, I checked who was online and I seen Dendarii Federation, and I got the idea of this;

Name: Dendarii Federation
Type: Mental Warfare Experimentation
Bio : Founded by Mr. Darii to suply the Army with a weapon to mentally
disable enemies, but when brought to the Army to be tested; said
weapon now called XE.9104, the Army rejected it because of side
effects that rendered the test subjects forever unable to think, or in
other words; brain dead. After this, Mr. Darii set out to sell his
weapon anyways, he quickly found a mental hospital called Westfeild
which needed it's inmates to stay ill in order to keep it's government
grants.

Ofcourse any idea's given by you guys will no longer be your own idea but property of DeathShard Productions and by giving those idea's in this thread you understand and agree to that, you will get your due respect and the players will know that the idea's were yours.

I need Characters, with First & Last Names, Ages, (ex)positions (are they merchants/soldiers/doctors/nurses/etc./etc.??)
I need Companies that specialize in weapons/food/etc./etc. (companies like the Dendarii Federation)
I need Buildings and Cities and such. (if you have Microsoft Paint (or something better) and wish to draw something out feel free to do so)
And anything you guys wish to add in, I will also be doing my part as designer and will be designing and drawing up and etc. etc. too

[The Arbiter]

Do you have any employees?

[Vanik Hardil]

yeah a couple, i cant really pay them, but they like working for me, and they do so for the pride of seeing stuff get put out by our company, why might you ask?

[laskaris]

Funny you brought this up.I'm working on a FPS and a RPG engine.
May I ask what program you're using?

[tom the pit leader]

Exactly, I am Jeremy Lewis, and I am the owner of DeathShard Productions


LOL. This seemed straight out of some movie.

I have to say I am parital to the names Vladamir and Lawernce.

If you hold down the 7 and the 2 keys and type 'Clockwise is God worship him or die' it goes to a mini game where you choose to worship or not resulting in instant death and huge negative score or high score reward.

Well since i dont have anything financial backing me i am forced to use the best thing i can find that my friends know how to get past the payment thing, SO.. im using RPG Maker (right now im working with XP since my VX trial has run out and a few friends are working on breaking the code)

everyone on my team is assigned to one (or more) specific thing(s), such as;
custom scripting, mapping, event mapping, event scripting, story working (*), character development (*), etc. etc.

the only two with (*) by them are for everyone to work on, mainly we sit down in my office and we spit-ball idea's until something sticks and everyone agree's it sounds good and would work well, then there is character development; we do a similar process, where me and the lead 'bad person' of the game (pretty much who the bad guy's personality and actions are based around) and we talk about what sounds good for minions and such, then i do the same process for the good side, and then for the NPC's me and the whole team sit down and talk about them, then for all of the minions/good-guys/NPC's we go out and find people who are willing to spend countless hours working with us so we can spit-ball our idea's at him/her and get their reactions (practically its personality mapping, to make each NPC/Minion/Good-Guy more realistic and with unique personalities)

LOL. This seemed straight out of some movie.

I have to say I am parital to the names Vladamir and Lawernce.

lol, i have no idea why it would seem that way, i mean i didnt say;
"My name is Lewis.. Jeremy Lewis.. and im the owner of Productions.. Deathshard Productions.."

so im guessing you would like to see either a Vladamir and/or Lawrence in the game?

If you hold down the 7 and the 2 keys and type 'Clockwise is God worship him or die' it goes to a mini game where you choose to worship or not resulting in instant death and huge negative score or high score reward.

sounds like a plan man, ill try to get it in but i doubt it will be any good, ok?

[laskaris]

I've never been able to get RPG maker to work.I have use game maker 7.0 pro edition.The sample RPG engine I have been deconstructing is convertible to RPG maker if I am correct.Once I am done w/ deconstruction I can send you a skeleton engine for you to use if you wish.

Game maker pro is only 20 USD that could be an alternative to RPG maker.Their 'lite' edition is free though,you just can't use the 3d software.

I'm having a helluva time w/ collisions for my fps,the char. keeps walking through the walls.

[Vanik Hardil]

lols, sounds like fun.

what language is the engine programmed in, because if it is anything i know (or can/feel-like learn(ing)) ill be glad to use your skeleton, i think i would be able to do a lot more with that than trying to go through all of RPG Makers code and editing.

how long have you been working on your FPS?

[laskaris]

I just started about a week ago.I haven't been active w/ it I've been
"Referencing" America's army and Halo 2 lol.

The whole engine is a .gm6(gamemaker6)file.I haven't been able to define the scripting as of yet,but it never hurts to have a reference If you have to make one from scratch.

[Vanik Hardil]

yeah, ok, was just wondering.

and i believe RPG Maker uses a form of Ruby so im going to be learning ruby soon so i can assist with the scripting, you know?

[laskaris]

That works for me.If you use my engine though I will demand some form of credit.

Kudos to the anarchied nation BTW.:ave:

[Vanik Hardil]

deffinitly man, everyone who contributes to the game will get their name in the credits.

and thank you very much, it is my very first Anarchy, and im hoping to turn it into a ZI, i have brought him from 2600 NS to about 1700 NS practically by myself in 3 days, im hoping over the next few years ill be able to make that list a bit bigger :D

[laskaris]

Another thing I must ask is whether or not this game is freeware or for profit?

[Vanik Hardil]

it is for free, right now i do not have anyone talented with art so i have to use the pre-made RPG Maker images and with that you cant sell the game (says so in their ToS)

[Vanik Hardil]

so far, the production is slow, and it is still not named. this could be going quicker with any/all idea's you guys could add, but it is not required or anything, not only am i working on the game but i am writing a short book for it that will come out a while before the game and will hold the most detail on the story.

[Mark Antony]

well do you have a main story line/basic idea for one, that would make ideas easier to get?

[Vanik Hardil]

well baisicly im thinking that you can start off in the King's army as cadets which get assigned to the crappiest jobs (like killing trolls that are raiding towns and such) and then you have to save this little girl from a troll and after you do that, your two mates bring her home and you go off to report in but the ground collapses and you get stuck in a underground cave inwhich you meet a group of interesting individuals who take care of you and then teach you all about the Kings secret practices which turns you away from him and onto the path of being a criminal, then something happens and you get seperated from your new friends and you end up having to face your old comrades.

that is all i have so far.

[Mark Antony]

So this game will be centred around medieval times, in a fantasy world (sort of oblivion?)

[Vanik Hardil]

yeah, medieval times in a fantasy world, yup.
