Story of the game

Talk about the story here.

Do you already have a storyline ready?

Partially, just need a little bit more then it is done but it will take me a while to input it. On paper it is at least 2 pg.s

Just a slow typer or what? XD

Mom's comp and i am sneaking on it just to use it my charger comes in tonight(hopefully) and i have to wait until tommorow to use the charger.

I see. Kinda confusing having the avies on the right. Where's my sig?

idk will have to see if i can fix that later.

Welcome to the kingdom of argondon. You have turned 8 the year where you get to train. You remember the service of your father. Who had gotten injured, and gone deafly ill. And your mom in the distress to had gotten deafly ill. So your grandparents have taken you under their watch. But since this is your decision to choose whether you will help protect the kingdom or not and follow in your father's footsteps. You go to the king and tell him of your situation and of your decision. He tells you to say goodbye to everyone then come back. You leave and on your way out you see the king's most trusted Jargon. He bumps in to you "Watch where you are going you young brat!" You reply saying, "Sorry Jargon, and are you all right?" "Just stay out of my way!" He walks off in a huff, towards the kings room.

You go and say bye to everyone then return. While outside the castle you see Jargon run off with Princess Anabell in his arms. And several knights running after him and yelling at him. Those knights leave pursueing him.

You go in and ask the king what happened. He explains that Jargon came in and insulted him. To get to the bottom of it, he asks him why he would say such things and jargon just acts like he doesn't know what he is talking about and keeps calling him a fool. Which resulted in the kidnapping of his daughter.(Sorry as much as i have right now without paper that i wrote it down on.)

With that story, doesn't it look kinda like singleplayer, instead of mmorpg??

Unless I see a decent full blown rpg I do not condone an mmorpg yet. Just my $.02.

Well i forgot the part where you journey and meet others and join up with them to help you get to where you need to go. Also being side quests. The problem is that i forgot, the paper and that was what i could remember when i was typing.

Okay found the story i had orginally written down and here it is:

Welcome to the kingdom of Argondon. You have turned eight, so now it's time to decide if you are going to help protect the kingdom. You remember that your father had gotten wounded protecting the ones he loved.

He was brought home and became incredibly ill. Your mother became distressed and wondering if he would make it to the next day. But that was years ago.

You decide you can't pass the oppurtunity up, and that is time to set out. And hopefully find a cure for both parents. Since your mothers distress she became ill as well, having no one but your grandparents to take care of you. Getting bored of it you decide to go to the king for advice and tell him your discision. He tells you, that the only one thing that can heal them, is the sap of the ju-jan tree. He will give you more advice but first go say bye to everyone.

You do as he says and leave him. As you leave him you see the king's most trusted knight, Jargon, come in.

He bumps into you and says, "Watch where you are going you little brat!"

"Sorry Jargon!", you reply I think something is up with him

"Heh, why do i have to work for such an incompetent fool!", you hear him say as he walks off. You go and say goodbye to everyone then come back.

When you come back you see Jargon run out with the princess in his grasp. You also see several knights pursuing him and hear them yell,

"Hey bring her back!"

"Have you gone crazy Jargon!"

and

"What they said!"

You run inside and ask the king what that was about and he answers that Jargon had come in here and call him a fool, and they had a heated disscussion. And everytime he would ask Jargon why he said that he would just go "What?" and get mad. After several times he just grabbed his daughter that was behind him, and run off, with his daughter yelling, "Help"

He adds this to your previous mission and gives you the basic tools. After asking you to please go fetch his daughter from jargon. It will be a long and perilous journey with many hardships and he asks he you are sure you want to do it. You say yes. He also tells you if you see anyone that wants to join up with you to accept it because you will need it.

But be careful of who you choose. Choose your friends wisely. Just as the class you must now choose. After leaving the castle and being taught the basics you set out to retrieve the king's daughter.

Good story ^_^

I told you guys something was missing i just left it at my house when i left chirstmas day and i finally have it back today.

Milleja, just how exactly are you going to make this game, and i don't mean by which language, how are you going to proceed, and i saw that you still are looking for an engine, in the blog, i seriously suggest that you follow neotifa's advice, and forget about using an open source and make your own game engine, and first of all learn first C++, make a game design document.

I had thought about using vbgoremania if i could just get mysql 5.0 setup but the stupid internet won't let me download it.

what are you going to use the vbgoremania for, and especially why mysql 5.0??


MySQL is used to manage databases in a server that is connected to the internet, it can't be used with C++, assuming that you're still planning on making a game that is based on C++.

I was going to use this it is easy..except the fact that i get a rte 3265 and don't know why i am not geting ansers on the forum site. Either one i found a tutioral for making an engine here it is if you want it but he does not tell you if what type of app you are supposed to make to put code in. here is the url http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/showtopic11833.htm But since it does not tell i guess a win 32 application. I will try it now. If it does not work i am going back to try netgore since vbgore mania does not work when connecting to server.

From my point of view, i think you're trying to get fast results, and ignoring the suggestion of making your own engine, which is better.

i found this:

http://www.gamedev.net/reference/programming/features/enginuity1/


I think its a tutorial to making your own engine, read it, and you'll learn something about making your own engine, and if you just use an open source engine, you'll learn less about game making if you just use open source stuff.

well that dic link i posted shows and tells you how to make a isometric/tile based game engine i will try to check out the link you posted. Also before we make engine's we need to discuss the library we are going to use. Open gl, DirectX Allegro or something else.

Are you sure you read everything that was in the DIC link you posted, cause there is a link to an .txt about making a game engine based on 2D, using OpenGL.

yes, but we need to decide on a graphic library which opengl is. Read my previous post.

EDIT:

I think it will be better to use OpenGL, since it has more options than DirectX.

Yeah but we need to decide which we are going to use i don't think you should use multiple ones in a game.

I guess we should use OpenGL
