Sounds good to me sved. :)

Any new pots regarding this project should be directed to the new forum. I will lock this thread after any replies related to the last few posts have been made (if any at all).

If you need to know the forum, check the DropBox folder... there is a text file with the details in it.

I thought the term was "worship" =P

Shhhhh >.>

Don't let him know... he might start smiting us with stuff.

Also, invites sent to JayJay and sved for DropBox. Still waiting on Quazi and DigitalDeuce.

Hey guys, just some important notes:

• Need you guys to PM me your email address that you used to sign up for DropBox with, so I can invite you all to the shared project folder.

• Need to discuss the best option for a private forum/board (there are free ones even, that we can use temporarily) so we can have somewhere to post progress, ideas, brainstorming, concepts, tests, prototypes, etc.

Also just a note that, I am going to be super busy for a lot of this week. I am finishing up a huge website contract for a company I have been building an online shop for over the last 8 weeks. I am at the data entry part (approx 14,000 entries) so I will be busy doing that crap for a fair bit. I may or may not be very responsive (skype, and chat etc) during that time... so if you need something you can Skype, PM, or post here for now and I will get it eventually.

Thanks everyone for your enthusiasm and dedication so far!

Hopefully soon, we can start throwing down some artwork and fleshing out some ideas. Just be patient while Quazi gets the preliminary engine details sorted out... he is making life EASY for the rest of us, so appreciate the man! Once that's done we should have a clearer picture of the direction we want to go... it will give us the opportunity to discuss and experiment a little.

Thanks again guys, and keep in touch!

Hello, and welcome :)

Apart from what TL22 said, you need to include examples at minimum of event structures that you have already tried.

Example:

+Every 1000 milliseconds

->Create enemysprite at X,Y

->Do Stuff, etc

The more information we have, the easier and more effectively we can help you.

I will be setting up a shared DropBox folder for the project, so if you don't already have DropBox then I highly recommend downloading and setting it up. You can find it via the link in my sig, or going to the website directly.

This will make sharing assets easy, and allow people to work on things as they see fit, and in their own time.

So far it seems we are all at crazy time differences to each other, so a mutual meeting time will be nearly impossible. For the time being we can communicate via Skype, PM, or here in the thread. I have contacted Tom in regards to getting a special section opened up for us to work in private, but not sure if it can be done easily with this forum software.

Sved and I are keen to start some art assets, so Quazi please let us know once you have your engine example ready so we can get a feel for the art style.

~Sol

Thanks mate!

This is something I have been planning at, and thinking about non-stop for months and months.

I was VERY CLOSE to landing an actual INVESTOR, but unfortunately I didn't have my plans laid out clearly enough, or a team at that stage so it fell through... so now I am doing this off my own back, and others seem to be willing to do the same!

I think this project will work out in the end since there is a common goal, and that is to make the nerdiest zombie game ever. We have the best of the best nerds here, so I can't see how it could possibly fail.

ONWARD! NERDS!

~Sol

LMFAO Mipey xD

Are you putting your hand up for that position?

~Sol

Sorry I had to go out for awhile. I am home now, just having a hair cut then I will be on :D

Any chance of getting on Skype?

I would love to speak with you more directly!

Hi guys

The response to this is now overwhelming! I will try to address each of you;

QuaziGNRLnose

Holy sh*t man. Just... ok, ffffffff.

I can already suggest that if you want to take the IDE, then I will not be arguing the point. That looks freaking awesome.

The art atyle I was hoping to go for a sort of retro look... not TOO pixelated, but nowhere near hi-def. I think about the size you have in the second demo for the character is a good size I think. The buildings would need to be scaled to match of course, and that should still allow for some amazing detail while still keeping the assets in a low budget term.

I really need to talk to you about this stuff. I just missed you in chat apparently... Hopefully I will catch you sometime soon. I have SKYPE now if that helps, you can add me: jeffrey.garrison79

We have already started! We are just sorting out the team first. It is important the we can all get on Skype or my Ventrilo server... and we can get the plan laid down. I need to talk to Quazi first, though.

So far the thing I need to fill the gap for the most is artists and sound engineers... Have you got any examples of your work that I can see? I'd love to check it out since your brief description of your capabilities sounds rather nice!

I hope this answers any major questions for the time being.

Any more interest for now will have to be unfortunately declined until we finalise our team and figure out what jobs still need to be covered. I would LOVE for everyone to be included in the primary team, but there simply won't be room for everyone. I am considering though, a dedicated team of suggestion makers, testers, and goto-guys for new ideas. Should this all go according to plan, you can count on some form of reward/compensation for participating!

Thank you guys for taking this seriously as well. I know that collaborations often fail before they even start, but I am personally at a point in my life where I really just need something like this to happen... so I will make it happen either way... win, lose or draw.
