Staredit Network

My current project, which is nameless at the time, will me an rpg. Thanks to you guys (staredit.net) for some of the inspiration.


anyways, not a very original idea..... mad scientist does something wrong, city becomes overrun by creatures, etc etc.


But before that happens.....

You live in an apartment, you can run errands and "sim" until the "bad guys" come.

Features

-2 Cities
-Multiple endings/objectives
-possible Vocals (if i can get a wav compresser of some sort, and voice actors)
-Ammo system
-manual shooting (so you wont waste all your bullets)
-interactive background such as entering buildings, etc. Possible picking things up (if i dont get lazy or if i have time)
-puzzles of some sort
-10+ missions (takes team work. example 2 guys go ontop of a building for snipeing, other 1 calls in support, the other 2 fights.)
-A dock and boats, so u can go boating...

something like that.....

heres what i have so far...

Sounds pretty cool, if you can do it right. I like the look of the town from the minimap. You should post some close up screenshots, so we can all see the detailing on the buildings.

City looks pretty cool. Will you be able to level up in this map? What unit will you be?

Yeah City looks so cool, hope u make it worth it

Is this like GTA?
Where u run "errands"

most likely im gonna screw up somewhere....


Units

Civilian, most of the time. Unless you equip w/ a gun.

You can get wepons at shops, after u kill soemoen, or pick them up.

Hers a list of weapons (possibilities)

machine gun
Sniper
Kitana
Chainsaw
Shot gun
flame thrower
Possible laser guns, lol
Scuba suit
Duel Pistols
Mechanical Suit


Settings

somewhere in a not to distant future where artificial island harbour 10% of all human life at an articficial island in the Pacific. Genetic modified life became a popular way of being used in experiemnts, pets, and drugs.

not really.....

Marine?



Ghost?



No Clue what that even it...



Zealot?



Other ghost?



Firebat (Duh!)



Uhh... Goon?



No Clue whatsoever



Goliath!

Of course I may just be wasteing my time since its "manual" fire...

The Map Size looks bigger than 256x256, or am i wrong?

Wuts wrong with manual fire?

yes u got them all right. Scuba suit is a scv.. kitana is otehr zelot


map size-192

Moose: I don't like an entire screen of quotes. Removed some enters.

Kitana? wtf? You mean KATANA?

Really? i thought it was over 256 with sd2, by the way, shouldn't it be KATANA?

Katana, Naginata, may be peak? Ive never see smb using it in maps.
Town looks prty cool, but may be create more buildings, smthng... i dont know, but it looks empty.

Nice looking terrain r[s]t

If your coast line is a natural coast line (dirt, not man made) then it should be a little more curvey.

God can you guys spell
Rizaun can.

Ok i don't get this. What is the storyline? You have guns but it's not GTAish so what is it?

EMpty?


Probally the roads.... they are thing...

where esle can i put some buildings?

Maybe... that the problem... there no road... only an amount of asphalt.
Make road border with starforge or scmdraft. Add a really cool effect to your town. Add some tree, parking slot¨....

(Add some people walking around, car, maybe a car accident... random fire, plane in the sky...)

Cool Mini Map
With the more skyscrapers part.. I kinda of know what he means by " where can he put it " because the whole skyscraper is a building that stands there and you cannot walk behind it (not 3d) so it takes a large space with not much use.

look, screwed a beginer and he's smarter than some of us...



any ideas would be appriciated

I know screwed personally and he not a beginner...

The best is to... draw on paper... after you can edit the terrain.. for me it's the best

okay....


What would u guys like to see in my map?

Great concept with the city and all... but I think it would help to develope the plot a little better... I don't know about everyone else but I get tired of the same old plots, (mad scientist, Demon Infestation, etc.) Though some do not care very much, there are still people out there that would rather play a good plotted map, showing excellent composition; rather than a simple-plotted "bashing" RPG.

I dont know, may be it looks like bcause there nothing else yet?

My suggestions:

Spell "KATANA" right as many people have suggested. Also, I wouldn't believe Katanas would be used. Rather butcher knives or longswords if even. I'd personally choose knives or fists.

Get a plot. Mad scientist over-running the city, barely catches my interest. Hell, the plot disgusts me to be totally honest. Get something interesting.

You should make the map as realistic as possible.

For example:
-On roads make cars where you can get "run over"
-Thugs/Thiefs
-Side missions like.....stop bank robbery or something
-Able to go into buildings OR if it's not possible make a sign or something that says "Shop Closed" or for rent
-Possible "Skill" points

Hey! KATANA is cool! i would like to have a Katana and cut in a half a monster or a thief
