Team name:
The EFO Workers

Project name:
Endless and Forever Online

Brief description:
I am making a 2D game with many classes, races, and abilities. I need help in doing this, as I am not great at many parts of game making. The game will be directed mainly by the community. If they want a feature added or removed, I will set up a vote and do whatever the outcome is.

Target aim:
Freeware

Compensation:
Only for fun, sorry. Isn't the fact that we are creating the perfect 2D MMORPG that everyone is looking for enough?

Technology:
Playerworlds, but if I raise enough money with donations I will create another version of the game with a better engine

Talent needed:
Scripters, spriters, animators, tilers, mappers

Team structure:
Me and my friend are mappers, and I will do a little spriting and animating when needed.

Additional Info:
This game will hopefully incorporate the following by public release:
Elf, barbarian, Human, gnome races
Paladin, Dark Paladin, Black/White Magic Wizards, Warriors, Archers, and Clerics classes
PvP Arena
At least 5 quests
at least 35 spells
at least 12 Paladin/Dark Paladin/Warrior skills
At least 3 towns
at least 1 dungeon
at least 25 monsters

I am hoping to release the first public version in 1-4 weeks of starting this project

I have a private network in my house with a server for this to be hosted on once its complete, so no dedicated server will be needed.

I also have a no-ip address, which i will tell you when you join. Since the game has just started, I do not want to post it publicly yet, because then potential people will join and quit due to serious lack of content

May I suggest C++? It is MUCH more flexible than Visual Basic.

Do you have a webmaster? (Sorry for asking that same question over and over again)

i dont have a webmaster, no
and i still havent decided, but i'll look into C++ i heard its pretty good
what program is the best for C++?

u read that tut on onrpg site???

i would NOT recoomend player worlds it sucks so bad use elysium diamond www.splamm.com/elysium

i am just using playerworlds to get a basic mold, then i will convert to a better engine. i feel like PW has an easy interface :p
i am thinking of maybe converting to the Graal Or Elysium engine sometime after i get a nice world built
btw if anybody wants to see what i have so far, you can connect if you download the Playerworlds server/client at http://www.playerworlds.com
then for the ip config put pwfo.hopto.org and 7234 as the port
then create your account and log in
i or an accomplice are on most of the time from 9:00a.m-9:00p.m (not always me on may be a person helping me)
and yes, i am not going to stick with playerworlds, i am just using it cuz of the easy interface (easier admin interface than Elysium, at least for what i need :D ) but once i get done i may switch over to elysium until i buy a copy of the Graal engine

and my forums are at http://pwfo.14.forumer.com/ check there for any updates

Ask Eriond about the C++ stuff. To tell you the truth, I'm just a beginner beginner beginner C++ programmer:p . I'd give myself about a 0.25 on a scale of 1 - 10.

lol i am gonna try C++ sometime tonight or tomorrow, i'll probably suck horribly at it :D
ive seen tutorials around, never bothered to look at them, so ill go check one out
and more than likely ill be posting questions about the most basic stuff :confused:

If you ever need help with C++, just PM me or look for me on MSN (aharriso56@hotmail.com). I'll be happy to answer all your questions. :)

Eriond, are you currently wokring on a project?

Uh... yes... sort of. It might or might not continue,, it looks like it might get cancelled. I'll keep you posted.

alright cool! d'you guys have a webiste or something i can check out?

and also...would you ever be interested in joining the Summer's Moon Online dev team if your current project doesn't work out?

Sure, here:

http://dev.goblinbar.com/

It's kinda slow at the moment, everyone's waiting on the design doc. If it doesn't work out, I suppose I'll join, sure :)

Oh, and do you guys have a website? ^_^

Uh... yes... sort of. It might or might not continue,, it looks like it might get cancelled. I'll keep you posted.
he he.... yeah, you only have 7 members..... well, 8 now, since i joined to see what all there was in the forum:D but anyway, not too popular of a game is it?
no offense or anything meant, i dont have ANY members at my forum yet (just made it sunday morning :P)

Well, you must understand that that's the development forum. It's not really made for the end-user in mind. Just the people working on it. After some work is finished, then I'll put up a real site and forum.

oh hey! that's wicked Eriond, except we're looking for people who don't get tired of a project so easily...

and also, our webiste is currently under consturction...

I didn't say I was tired of it, I just said it might fall apart, because it was becoming inactive, and that I'll keep you posted that if it DOES fall apart, I'll be avaliable. You don't see many employees working at a bankrupted business, now do you :P (not that this is going to happen, things are starting to pick up again)

:O

What do you mean it might get cancelled?!

XD

hah ok! i understand what you mean now Eriond! I don't want to take from someone else's dev team either. If your having fun there then stay...but I guess theres a little more to it than just having fun...

but anyways! Naruto, he means the project might fall apart...people start fading away untill theres only the leader left...

no worries about that. if they leave, i'll break their legs! Hahahaha!

... kidding...

I know what it means, but why.

why what?

-Bryan-

It's a downward spiral. People feel like there isn't a whole lot going on so they become more inactive, and as they become inactive, of course, not a lot does happen, so others begin to drop out until there's nothing left.

I know a little bit of C++ and am fairly familiar with Open GL. If I could be of any use to your project I would like to join your team. My email address is geoboardman@hotmail.com. Just send me a message if you I could help the team.
