Hey,if we do this one-species-fights-another-thingy,we could just as well let you choose between the different species to play...like in Warcraft!

RFF

Graphics - Haven't drawn, but special effects, I rock

Coding - Pretty good, I've got C++ and VB and C under my belt if you give me some guidlines. I just need a template to start off with though, I can't make a starting thing

Story - Sure, I have a good one

Ideas - Lots, lots, lots


I would like another 2D game, but I think that a 2D-3D game would be more interesting.. like in the old Jazz 1.

No offence, but I love Onag's marshmellow idea. Hilarious, just like rabbits holding guns. Only thing is, I think we shouldn't have the gun thing. Possibly RPG, FPS cross? I dunno. RTS as well.

"MARSHMELLOWS ATTACK!"


Wisety will probably own us all

Anyway, look at my contact shiz to contact me, anything else ask me in #jj2 or whatever.

Exactly, Picco!
If you play as the Mechas, the bosses are Orga. But if you play as the Orga, the Mechas are the bosses. Your team will halfta work together to make it through all the levels, and it would be REALLY cool if we could make some of the levels palyable both ways. All the pedestrians you meet going one way are enemies you halfta fight going the other. And there dosn't halfta be a good side and a bad side, both sides will see the other side as the bad side.

I need somone who can draw to help me with the longer profiles. That way we can get a good idea of not only what they act like, but what they look like, too.

Why are we already starting on profiles while we don't even know yet what the game is about or have a story completed?

Profiles is a part of my story.
And the game is about Mecha versus Orga. (At least, the one I am working on is)

If you ask me, the Mecha vs Orga thing is quite overused.

1) Brainstorming (current step)
This is where general story and character ideas are developed until we think we have something that might actually work.
We're coming up with general ideas right now. Character profiles are good, but it would be smarter to make character profiles once we actually have some characters and a story.

The profiles are developing the charcters. My sister and I are working on drawing the charcters. I will scan them in and put them up on my webspace (can't really call it a site)

Feel free to keep working on whatever you're working on, as everything helps for inspiration. The point Spaztic was trying to make was that we don't know yet if we need profiles for marshmallows, bunnies, aliens, cyborgs, humans, etc. Your profiles may help to convince people which way to go on the storyline, but if not, they'll likely not be usable for this project.

On a side note. Sorry I haven't been around much. I'm literally working 15 hour days on my current job (website for a local sports league). On the up side, the site is turning out nicely, and I'm further tuning my scripting abilities for later application on this project. =)

I'd love to be a QA guy, and I also have the basic talents Trafton talks of, too.

My best skill is bug finding, though, and it's related skills. So I guess Architecture Designer would fit me, too. Sounds "nice", but I only mean it in a purely "I'll help" way, not an "I'll do this bit all by myself if I have to" way.

Alright, I'm working on getting a site ready. What should I call it? Remember, the name should be generic, as if this is successful, it will host other open source game projects as well.

Well... if you need another writer I could help.
I could think of some storyline with lots of twists and turns all through the story - some people here on the board could tell you what I'm capable of

I would like to contribute to the programming pool. I am well versed in C/C++, though I have never worked with graphical interfacing before (I thought it would be fun to learn). I am also very interested in game design and architecture design. If I am feeling inspired, I can also help with level design.

The website is progressing slowly. I'm still looking for good ideas for a name/domain. Once I get a good name, I'll put the site up as is so it can progress along with the game idea.

Should it be a name with or without things like "software" in it, as in the game of a development team or a name of a site that just supports games but doesn't have any team or so.

Unhappy

I wish I could help, but I'm not good at anything... I could play test, that's probably about it.

Actually, I would be good with storyline, but I think you'll get enough of those.

Could I just send a donation?
