Off Topic / Blockland + Dual Core?

« on: April 23, 2009, 06:00:48 PM »

This may be a stupid question, but does blockland use dual core?


It's openGL and not top of the line, but just in case.

I'm about to get a new PC with a Dual core in it, this wouldn't change my mind but I'm just curious. Answered.

Games / Wisp

10 Minute Logo:



Why?

       
       This will be a project that I will work on through High-School, to practice. I have set my career toward Video Game/Software producing, and I think it would be a good thing to make a game in the process.


The Game


       Lets start with the name, the <Insert race name here> are a species of gas planets, a different form of life then the kind on earth. the creature is a <Gasous/Energy/Plasma> state and is put in a pod its whole life. The species is the "Wisp", because of their glowing ball like appearance.

I need to add to the story, I've basically come up with the fact that they're wisps.


Oops Edit:

       I plan to make this an RPG, with the ability to buy and fly spaceships through space. I have to research how to make planets, to make it load a regular map when you fly near it, or do this:

Some concept art:      (I am NOT the best artist)



       As you can see, there is attachable arms and legs for movement, the armor and weapon system will be based on putting things in those slots.



       I am still thinking of things, I am not a professional game producer, I just wanted to show my Ideas somewhere.

       I still need to learn to get good at scripting/modeling and -

Get the torque engine, it's perfect for this type of project.




I am not being over-enthusiastic. I know making games is really hard, I am planning to get http://www.garagegames.com/products/gameprogrammersguide.    Don't Expect this anytime soon.

What would someone recommend to me for a shnazzy XP theme? I'd like it to not steal my performance that much, I'll search and stuff.


I've noticed when some people post screenshot, their theme looks simalar to this,




This is the zune theme, but the pint is the shape of the taskbar is different than mine. I see people with the normal colors, this is the only pic I could find. (Green/blue)

Suggestions & Requests / New Ammo Mod

« on: April 03, 2009, 12:06:56 PM »

I would like an ammo mod where you could just set Shots per Reload and Number of
Reloads with maybe a text document in the Zip or maybe even a GUI.

Also, if it could add Clips and Shots with events, it would be good for DM's.

Games / World of Warcraft: (What if) Character Housing

« on: March 23, 2009, 05:08:57 PM »

       I read this interesting blog thing, and she has the Idea of player housing in WoW. I think it would fit in nicely, although her system of Tier 1 (Small), Tier 2, and Tier 3 Houses are kind of... it makes everyones house the same. I would want a type where you added rooms.

I know, this is the Blockland forums, but I just wanted to discuss it.


http://druidteam.blogspot.com/2009/01/player-housing-intro.html


       The reason I want this, is that it would add another part to the endgame. In WoW, theres raiding and PvP. That can get a little dry after a while. I wouldn't mind if it was expensive as hell, but it would add more feeling on involvent.

Pros -

Moar Endgame
Fun
Customability

Cons-
May be hard to store data. The data could be as simple as possible with the layout for peoples houses being like forge saves in halo 3, they are only 100 - kilobytes.

Only a few terabytes on their servers.



Again, I know this is the BL forums. This game is so popular its taking over.
