How are you going to do channeling? That is why most people quit doing the WOT Fan games.

 

[Yuoaman]

ill probably have preset skills you can learn as you progress, much like HM's and TM's

WAIT! *off topic* You actually read the books, AND understand what i've said?

Please do not double post. Edit your post if you wish to add more.

Of course i read the books. Why wouldn't I? How could you use premade skills to do channeling? I would do an input where you have to hit keys in a combo to create the weave. Also, how are you going to make the white tower? In a MMO RMXP game i was helping a friend make for WOT, We gave up on building the thing.

If you keep going on the story, how will you do the twisted reality thing? How will you do Min and here "visions"? How are you going to do the ways and traveling stones? I'm just full of questions.

 

[Yuoaman]

hmm that combo thing sounds interesting, and im not sure about traveling or the ways yet

 

[tdata]

Well, traveling using the slash thing, would be the easiest thing. You could just use the slash animation for the sword. then just show an open archway pic... I'll help you with the game if you would like.

 

[Yuoaman]

good idea, thanx i need the help

just pm me if u wanna help with this

Oh and is anyone other than tdata going to post, cause i am not lying about needing help

 

[nickburns]

great job, this looks grat, i read the books to (i'm on The Shadow Rising) but im not too good at this stuff so i cannot help you, though i hope you get help soon. (I WANNA PLAY IT)

See i posted too, tee hee

 

[Yuoaman]

Thanx I really needed the support,
Well tdata when should we start this

 

[JMH]

Sounds ok. I have never read the series so I propbaly wont play it but sounds ok.

 

[Yuoaman]

thanx, and question who thinks i should use sphere for this project

 

[tdata]

Hmmm... I'm not good at all with javascript... :P But, if that is that you wish to run on, i'll learn fast. But, it might be interesting to do it in VB or C++... Make it iso-morphic... But you are the boss, i'm just the underling.

 

[Yuoaman]

I don't know how to do javascript either... I have just seen a lot of cool things done with Sphere and thought it would be great for it... Though I also have RMXP if you'd rather use that... Man I need a better avatar...

Also you don't need to read the books to be a part of this, i really need spriters right now.

 

[tdata]

Reading the books would be a plus though. This also gives me an idea for another game. An online RPG where you start off as a normal person and you may choose to be able to channel. If you do, you can travel up the ranks, but only an admin can make you Aes Sedai or Asha'man. ^_^ I have way too many ideas revolving on WOT... :P So, Dovie'andi se tovya sagain

 

[Yuoaman]

I know reading the books would be a plus. But even if they haven't they can still map and sprite, right. And that would be a great idea for a game!
But what program shall we use?? ( Does anyone know where we can find WOT sprites if you can't sprite them, it would really help).


Ughhh... I hate Sphere, it doesn't work for me!!

 

[tdata]

so, shall be start with the mapping? No story type events yet, just map the world. But first, we need atleast one more member.

 

[Yuoaman]

Yes, we do... I may have a candidate... He's a guy in my class, Kyle, and he's just starting to learn RMXP. But he seems really eager to help. If he's not up to it I'm sure we'll find someone... I hope...

 

[tdata]

Okay. Can he sprite? We will need a spriter before we can finish the game...:)

 

[Yuoaman]

I don't know, I'll ask him...


... He can, but only limited stuff... Nothing hard like Trollocs...
