Playerworld98 - The RTS Project

Gman4pwnu · #1 01-14-2005, 06:06 AM

Playerworld98 is hiring, im sure most of you know what an rts is, Real Time Strategy. Basically its going to be a world similar to warcraft or command & conquer, it WILL be set in the past, with swords and sorcery, differant races. Stefan seems to really like the idea, i talked to him for an hour, maybe 2, about the server, he was giving me idea's. Theres nothing to see right now.

edit: im not sure whether ill have a large persistant world or "scrims"/short games that extend until you log off.

Edit #2: Looking for good sound artists as well.

Im also looking for 1 or 2 people to help with idea's, you need to be good at writing! Intelligence required

What I need is talented gfxers, extremely talented scripters, gani artists, and thats all at the moment.

Currently we have 3 scripters including me, 0 gani artists, and Goboom is our gfxer.

Thanks

Sounds kinda kool. But i am no help as of now.. But i wish you the best of luck! =)

Evil_Trunks · #3 01-14-2005, 07:04 AM

good luck to say the least

Shaun · #4 01-14-2005, 07:11 AM

Everworld could be classified as an RPG Strategy, in the same vein of Ogre Battle I suppose. I wonder how the two playerworlds will be similar and how they'll be different.

A lot of people are talking to Stefan for an hour or two recently. I can't seem to find my oppurtunity.

I'd be willing to help out with ideas! Contact me on aim.

I have put a note in the debug serveroptions, but don't see Stefan much to ask him myself. But, every other server who got a debug server got in contact with Stefan - so it would be better if you tried that as it works obviously as there are those online with them, who asked Stefan and got them.

Eh, sometimes talking to him for an hour or two equals PMing him, then waiting 20 mins for a reply, then PMing him again, waiting 25 mins for a reply... that all adds up
:P

Eh no... he was talking with him player to player on the 2k1 server. Not over PM.

I find Gman annoying because he's claiming ideas, getting mad when other people had them first, and bragging about how Stefan LOVES his idea because he talked with him for like half an hour. (come on, two hours? no.)

I've talked to Stefan for hundreds of hours. I've seen him use profanity many times. I've heard his voice on microphone. I've had countless fights with him, yet we still remain on good terms.

Beat that, sucka.

Goboom · #10 01-17-2005, 03:04 AM

I am afraid I am going to have to resign from my possition as a GFX person on this server because I am busy at the current point in time and have lost intrest in the idea.

Sry.

You came with the new wave of players, didn't you? The ones playing in Antago's bomy-playland, NewMain? I'm sure Stefan would have been more open once he established making money from the game. But, if you had tried before NewMain, and p2p, would he have even talked to you at all..?

Burn, ouch.

Note: No real offense is meant. I'm merely being funny, as I assumed you were being. If you do take offense, notify me and I will stop.

Eh, I was playing Graal back when there was only one server. I just wasn't into Graal development until after 2k1 was released. I didn't come in on any wave. I found graal online the java game and then downloaded the game client.

Snakeandy7 · #13 01-14-2005, 11:15 AM

Wow, that sucks

Snakeandy7 · #14 01-14-2005, 06:54 PM

Stefan will only give you the debug server for a reason, not just the reason of being bugged when working on the actuall server.

I'm dissapointed. I thought a StarCraft similar server would appear before it's crappy counterpart, WarCraft.

Bring me a futuristic RTS that functions like StarCraft, and I will call you graals god!

zokemon · #16 01-14-2005, 08:55 PM

Stefan says almost all server ideas are good but he knows no one will actually finish it.

Yes....good....NOW BUY SERVER SPACE!

Nappa · #19 01-14-2005, 08:59 PM

I have a good server idea, or atleast I like it. More specifically instead of playing a human, you start off as a bug. Your race is chosen randomly for you and every time you die, you get chosen a random race (as well as when you relog on). Your object is to expand your queens territory by warring on the other bugs while still bringing enough food to satisfy your queen. Say like 2/5 of the population would be ants. They have almost no health however their are alot of them. Then their are bigger bugs such as grasshoppers, crickets, other bugs that can fight. They are stronger and have more health but their are signifigantly less of them. Then occasionally when the war starts getting lopsided, we can have some sort of human come along spray pesticide in an area and kill everyone.

Anyway. Anyones free to try the bug server idea. I think it's awesome. I'd like to see some acid being sprayed and stuff. Imagine some big grasshopper taking on like 6 ants, their all jumpin on him and biting and hes squishin them.

haro41 · #23 01-14-2005, 10:26 PM

i saw this coming. i actually was thinking how this would be a cool idea about 2 weeks ago. instead of the PvP style, you could make each player a general, or a leader of their own troup. and around the vast world you could just have players fight their troup againts others or join a large army. a troup could probably be the player and 1-16 of his troops. that way you could put a cap on the # of troops a single person could have, but maybe make their troops level up with the more battles they win and survive.

You would have to keep the stat growth of the players hero down to a reasonable level , so if an olbie's hero came up into a reasonalby players troup of 6 rangers and 6 soldiers, he would go around decimating them in one hit not taking any damage.

A cool idea would be the ability to customize the outfits of your troop too. so they could all be decked out in armor and steel helmets, and call them the "Knights of the Round"

Instead of a building where you just click buttons to get more troops, you could set up a system where npc's across the whole world are everywhere in towns sitting at tables and in bars that could be recruited. And each person would have slightly different stats, so you could decide if he would be better as a swordsman or a ranger. Each troup member could require a large initial payment with a small upkeep payment each week or something, that way your troop couldnt just grow and grow, and it forces players to stay active instead of sitting in the main towns doing nothing.

Weapon and armor shops could be set up to outfit your troop with upgrades as well. Of course special items that add effects and auras to your hero just like the merchant shops in wc3. And have an extra slot on the ganis to show your troops coat of arms, the logo of your troop and have it show when someone selects a guy in your troup. player customizable coat of arms is necessary.

And you wouldnt want to have your troop die and never come back if you happened to loose a battle. that wouldnt be any fun! so instead you could set up a system where the players hero would be the only one that you could revive and have to travel back to an Inn to find your troop there, with a small XP or money penalty.

I guess thats it. you can see i am an avid wc3 player and a game like this i would love to play.

Sounds like a better warcraft 3 map than a graal server.

Zurkiba · #25 01-15-2005, 05:52 AM

2178 goes on a system similiar to this.

falco10291029 · #26 01-14-2005, 10:36 PM

I was going to make a mini game like this for EK once we got everything up, but now I know We'll be flamed for copying

Gman4pwnu · #27 01-15-2005, 01:46 AM

wtf is ur problem stealing my idea, stefan said i shouldn't have posted this idea, god damnit....

Evil_Trunks · #28 01-15-2005, 01:50 AM

you won't make it anyway

Gman4pwnu · #29 01-15-2005, 02:14 AM

Ive been making it the server is registered playerworld98

So lots of noobs have servers that are worked on for the first month.
Then they hire too many managers.
Then they get taken over by the corrupt co-owner.
Then it dies After gettin about .001% Done...

konidias · #31 01-15-2005, 03:11 AM

Um, you can't "steal" an idea that has existed for over a decade. Even if you say "it hasn't been done on Graal" that's hardly enough to say that you're so ingenius for coming up with it.

I was there when you were talking to Stefan... I had been thinking about making a RTS Graal server for a long time and now you're whining about someone stealing the idea? I'm sorry, but unless you have some really innovative, never been done before in a game idea, then you cannot complain.

I could sit here and list every game idea that I've seen yet haven't seen on Graal, that doesn't mean nobody else can use them. I'll make a Graal serve like Lemmings, or Earthworm Jim. How about a Pokemon type Graal server? Wait wait, Pokemon TCG! Yay! Harvest Moon Graal server! How about a puzzle game Graal server? What about a Mario Party type server?

Okay, now if anyone uses any idea remotely similar to the ones I posted, I will cry and tell Stefan to not let you use the idea.

LordZen · #33 01-15-2005, 03:44 AM

Graal Party, that would rock.

I'm a pro button masher in every Mario Party game. I never lose in minigames where all you have to do is press A repeatedly or something.

falco10291029 · #34 01-15-2005, 04:03 AM

I already made an offline one long ago, you dsimply made money when you killed an enemy and then could buy swordsmna, bowman, or bombman who would attack the enemy on sight (script was actualyl fairly simple). Of course, fi i did add something liek that iw ould use EK weapons, and it would be more complex.

Somehow I doubt you made it. And please stop destroying the tree structure.

And I don't care what you made offline, if someone makes the same thing, boohoo. Are you going to tell me pking should be tooken off every server because it was on classic first ?

falco10291029 · #36 01-15-2005, 04:51 AM

Im not saying that, I was defending my right to use it as a minigame if i wish, you're attacking the wrong side merely because you don't like me. i dont care at all who uses that idea.

I don't like you because you keep breaking the tree structure. This evokes my anger.

Double posting doesn't anger me. As long as you are preserving the tree structure, make as many posts as you like. In linear mode you will probably see me posting up to 3 times in a row.

Btw, i'm not in the threaded type. I am on Hybrid. I get the best of both worlds.
