Terestria

Tom · #1 02-19-2007, 04:20 PM

Hey, im not expecting many people will help me anymore as in the past i've let down alot of people with many projects. But ive been working on my own on this server idea and im determined to finish this.

So onto the server, im in need of a skilled NAT, one who can is pretty familier with the particle system.

A reasonably good gani artist, i say a reasonably good gani artist because when objects move and arent animated correctly they look them.

The server itself doesnt really have a story line at the moment, but ive been concerntrating on the battle system alone, the battle systems revolves around some of the earths elements, earth, fire, water and wind. Being able to control them, increasing your skills in a certain element.

I feel that alot of the servers tend to work really hard on their tileset so it looks better than everyone elses, and they tend to just create realyl basic boring battle systems. Examples would be Maloria and Zodiac [No offense] But its just another hack and slash which gets really boring.

Also, no server has ever gone for a really cinematic approach to their servers, spells that as supposed to be really powerful, they do say 1000 damage? They just dont look like it. But using particles and random effects i want to create a really powerful atmosphere so people can really get into the feel of a battle.

Here are a few GUIs i slapped up the other day, [The image has been minimised by photobucket a little so the qualitys a little bad, but you cans till make out what it looks like]

The little exp part is pretty random, but when the bar is full you get 1 star. When you have all the stars you level up and so forth. I just thought it was a little different :P

You can also win stars in quests, events and trade your stars.

I hope some people are interested as i really want to get stuck into this project with a good team, instead of what i used to do and try and make things myself.

Thanks for reading all this!

Looks good, but yeah, you're credibility is a tad shot.

maximus_asinus · #3 02-19-2007, 05:18 PM

Again, another server with a lot of potential, but with your track record things won't be easy. If you're serious about it this time around, show the people your dedication.

Bl0nkt · #4 02-19-2007, 06:58 PM

If you want some power ganis, contact me. This idea isn't bad.

Lol you're implying that Zodiac worked hard on that tileset? I'd be ashamed if I worked hard and came out with that.

Yes I ignored the rest of your post just for that, and yes I'm one of the people you mentioned that just thinks you're going to drop this project too just like all the other ones you were "Determined to Finish".

Good luck + whatever you'll probably need it.

Chandler · #6 02-19-2007, 07:34 PM

I'd do some scripting for this, I like your graphical ability!

Mykel · #7 02-20-2007, 03:43 AM

Tom I don't want to insinuate anything, because I know the idea wasn't exactly original on our part either, but is it a coincidence that you are staff on Delteria Dev and we have something very similar to this planned?

I'm not trying to be rude here Mykel or interfere as the question wasn't directed towards me but there was another server similar to this and Tom had been telling me about it before. He even made a post about it and I believe that's what inspired him to do it.

Rapidwolve · #9 02-20-2007, 04:16 AM

Woah, lovin the GUI's

Like I said, I'm sure it could be a coincidence, but we've also had this planned for some time.

Understandably.

TESTRETIS · #12 02-20-2007, 06:24 AM

Mm, GUIs do look pretty good so far, somethings missing though, can't put my finger on it but it could use a little more detail I think, make a little easier on the eyes, or maybe it's just photobucket like you said.

Ah, well i was'nt ever told of the plans for Delteria, and nor have i stopped helping as id never turn my back on Sandz. And i wouldnt steal your ideas dudes.

But the ideas pretty largly based of a gameboy ds game called lost magic :P

I think your right, it is missing something. The GUI's do look a bit plain but ive convinced myself when theres items on the GUIs that it will look pretty neat. Plus i still need to add pendant outlines to the GUI

zell12 · #14 02-20-2007, 11:42 AM

Looks neat tom. Good luck finding staff; you're a bit late on the search, back at the bottom again. About 5,892,456 others player-worlds doing the same, sadly.

baco24 · #15 02-22-2007, 04:28 AM

Tom,Are you Hirring GAT's? Send me a message if you are plz.

No offense, but.. Tom and Elk is famous for being sooo productive.. Would be nice if the two of you would smack yourselves in the head and actually pull this of.

killerogue · #22 02-23-2007, 08:04 PM

Here's hoping you can. Making this the first Tom project to hopefully go public. Well, Tom you've always got my help in whichever way possible.

Elk · #23 02-23-2007, 10:24 PM

stone comming out of floor to be thrown at a target

lol...does anyone remember the side scroller that also saw Tom and Elk working together? Nothing is guarunteed especially when you have a combustable element (Elk) and someone with the drive-span of a teaspoon (Tom).

Elk · #26 02-23-2007, 10:57 PM

Is that so? Okay, enlighten me Elk, what happened with the Sidescroller? If I remember right, you and Tom got in a fight over the content and it just shut down completely. What's to say it doesn't happen here? You're a drama queen and Tom switches server ideas every week.

Prove it? If you're not kids anymore than you should be able to tune me out completely and finish the job, right now by calling ME a child you're just proving how immature you actually are. If history proves true this is just going to end up in the gutter just like all your other failed projects.

Well I dunno every single person on the forums thought it was a good idea surely everyone can't be wrong.

Elk · #30 02-23-2007, 11:05 PM

hmmm as i said
too much work for me alone

backgrounds, different tiles, sprites, icons, and trees, many other things...
thats too much for one person, dont you think?

smirt362 · #31 02-23-2007, 11:19 PM

You have to be positive or else nothing will get done!

That was funny as hell. XD

On a side note: No matter how uncontrollable Elk is or unfocused as Tom is I think they will finish this server. I really and truly think that Tom will finish this time. :o

Mhm. I'm currently scripting an entire server practically on my own, is that ALOT of work? Yes, it is. Do you see me whining? Anyone?

Well, from time to time I witnessed the occasional tear from you.

E: On a more serious note it is much easier (if you have the know-how) to script an entire server than it is to pixel one, pixel-pixel-pixel. Being that one server non classic style takes over 100 or more pixeled graphics. Picture that first. Then the many terrain tilesets Elk would have to do for a sidescroller. Including the background images. Player and enemy sprites as well. Pixel-by-pixel. Scripters tend to overrate the ease and what it takes to GFX something. Tho Ziro I know you GFX, but as an example my own scripter tends to get impatient with me if he wants me to draw something for a script forgetting he doesn't know what it's like or what it takes to pixel an image or two that require a lot of detail.

When was the last time you actively was on RC on Mythic? Oh wait, that was before our new confidential idea that I'm actually very enthusiastic about.

And Elk did have Tom working along with him, or he would have if they didn't decide to be *****s and not working together on the side scroller.

actually not, he wanted to script

Infernix · #40 02-24-2007, 02:42 AM

Elk and Tom working on 1 project? Well Im glad I didnt get my hopes up about this. You pretty much must finish to server or were all gonna clown on your two for being failures....AGAIN.

Much love though.
