Kelgar – Compo Release

February 1, 2012 in Game Project Update

I want to announce the Release of the Compo Version of my RPG Kelgar

Facts:

currently the world of Kelgar consist of 2 villages: Arus and Ridaz
there are 4 quests with different ends, that means you influence the behavior of the NPC’s
it features different new things, like buying, selling and looting, new art, cooking on fireplaces and new spells
NPC’s will attack you if you attack them or if they are in the enemy faction
it features 4 completely custom music tracks by Corey (RYSE)

You can download Kelgar here. Please support it and vote with ‘Yes’ and drop me a comment.

Kelgar will be continued after the contest has ended. Therefore I need a skilled modeler and animator.

If you are interested in joining the project send me a message

MAV

December 28, 2011 in Game Project Update

HEY PEEPS MY NAME IS NATHAN BUT YOU CAN CALL ME MAV IF YOU LIKE

In this post I will present the project I am working on in case someone may want to work with me on it.

NAME: Scrap Code

The story, or should I say scenario is that code entities which are circuit bound spirits that are the result of deleted code floating around space and time, eventually finding order and forming a consciousness are split into two LARGE factions. Predictably these factions are made up of a virus code side and a source code side. the Virus Code side has no working civilization past small merciless gangs and in the zones they inhabit they are constantly destroying each other which only makes more viruses appear later on because that destroyed code reforms and grows again from multiple pieces sooo the Source Code have to constantly try to exterminate them because they have a civilization to protect and when they destroy/delete virus code it turns into into neutral code which can go either way when it reforms.

the team skills i need are:

ENGINE COMPONENT SPECIALIST: some one who could simply suggest some additions to the sandbox engine that might make writing the code easier or give the engine new code writing capabilities, the graphics and sound are fine for this game though.

MAP MAKER: someone who can get really creative with maps that with be able to acquire some models and textures from me over the internet to use.

CODER: someone who knows how to write code that will change things like the way characters are loaded to a certain arena to a damage system.

and that pretty much all so far i will disclose some more things about what kind of coding needs to be done and the character sets and generally the whole world of scrap code latter

just message and comment if interested

thank you

S.H.I.V.A (A new large project for all members of Xeonbox,and hopefully from the community.)

December 27, 2011 in Game Project Update, General Update, Video Game Media

I highly doubt anyone here knows what the heck I’m talking about.

S(uper)

H(ighly)

I(ntresting)

V(ery)

A(mazing)

“Hey, it’s just a bunch of words!” A bunch of words to describe it. Shiva will be incorporating very popular video game mechanics into the PAS engine, boosting the realism of the game.

GAMEPLAY

The game-play of this game will be rather a bit of fast-paced and slow-paced. The player will control Shiva, a army Sargent with, now, magical powers. The player starts off with Telekinesis, but will find more powers in Shran orbs, like the ability to shoot fire at enemies, or, the Necromancer ability which raises the dead from enemy corpses. The player can find upgrades along in Shran orbs, too. The environment is not Battlefield 3 destructible, but still destructible enough to be like Red Faction Guerrilla. The AI will have the ability to have path-finding, not walk into walls, try to dodge your attacks, and go behind cover, and more too.

Sandbox Universe

December 26, 2011 in Uncategorized

I deleted my old post of this. Mainly because There were so many things I got wrong. But now it’s fine, and I have a much better updated version of the site ready.

Take a look:
http://sandboxuniverse.at.ua/
This site is a community of games made in Platinum Arts Sandbox, Cube 2 Sauerbratten, the original Cube, Assault Cube, and any other games derived from the Cube engine. I made a page for resources, tutorials, games, utilities, maps (with a new working map upload system, you must register to use). There is also a reviews page, but I nmeed reviewers. Since making the site, no one has joined, and no one has asked to have their content added, without me asking them first. Hopefully more people can help to build this site, and make it an easy, organised place to find Sandbox and Cube related content!

This is what the site looks like:

What I’m Thinking of the New Site

December 26, 2011 in Uncategorized

So far, it’s okay… however, there are quite a few problems I’ve found.

1) The site seems somewhat cluttered and constricted. I understand the navbar at the top, but all the stuff in the middle is extremely unorganized. It’s currently all blog stuff. Also, why is the majority of the content of the page squeezed into the middle?

2) Ads. I understand the need for them, but considering what some of them are (e.g. the very not kid-friendly “Call of Roma” one), I don’t like them.

3) The shoutbox seems to be upside down. New posts go to the top. I don’t know if that’s exactly better in some way (it could be), I’m kind of unused to it.

4) I would like to see a new theme, something that reflects Sandbox well. Maybe, if it’s possible, we could have a theme similar to one of Sandbox’s GUIs? That might be cool.

5) Can we use screennames instead of first names? I’m very used to that, plus I can’t tell who’s who now. Or at least, not as easily.

6) Similar to the IRC, could we maybe have some sort of large Shoutbox page? That way, we could easily all talk about something.

7) Updated menus for sure.

8. When I’ve posted these, I keep getting a 404/Page Not Found error. refresh, and everything’s alright. What’s up with that?

9) My 8 and ) made a cool guy smiley.

My first post

December 26, 2011 in Uncategorized

Oh, this is nice… I really like WordPress’s system for posting, so this is a plus.

Anyways, I’m CP, you can learn about me here if you want: http://forum.sandboxgamemaker.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1440&p=12929#p12929.

That’s all for now. I’ll post again soon, just about a different topic.

Tons Of Free Books!!

December 22, 2011 in General Update

I found at amazon.com there are tons of free kindle books and you don’t need to own a kindle, just a computer! The reason I mention this is that many classics are free and books can be a great source of inspiration. Also I think there are even kindle games? Hmm! I can’t wait to read the Sherlock Holmes ones

This is a nice li’l post. Nothing more.

December 16, 2011 in General Update

Hello! Welcome to my first ever blog post *confetti fires*. Thought I’d write a blog at least once, if not, more often.

First of all, I really like the social site. I’m fairly new to social sites as I generally hate them, and never went near one. The only one I’ve ever signed up to is Facebook. On top of that, I didn’t like Dolphin. WordPress, however, I find easy to use, and simple. There are many areas of Dolphin I prefer over this, such as a variety more features, but overall I find WordPress much easier.

Secondly, I’ve started my RPG competition map. Which I have decided, will be a large hill fort and town. Basically, a huge hill, with a large area at the top, surrounded by a palisade, containing a huge fort and many buildings.

Just starting out (don’t eat me!)

December 7, 2011 in Uncategorized

Hey guys,

I’m pretty much new here and stumbled upon this place when searching for good game programming software. So I thought i would give this a shot, But when i saw a “community forum” I thought ‘What the heck, lets sign up.’ And so here i am being such a noob and posting this boring post like any other noob who is starting out. But at least i’m a noob with goals.
