Open-world space western project (WIP)

[phydeoux]

For a western, people could start settlements that others can add onto to create towns. Settlements best creating near rivers for gold-panning, with players also having the option to dig out mines. If players didn't want to be miners they could become traders to open shops in the towns, or delivering mail/goods between towns as couriers, and of course becoming deputies or bandits.

So yeah, my vote is for western, sci-fi or not.

If I do do a western, I'd like to make it as original as possible. I'm already aware of this project, and would like to branch out from it.

Perhaps it could be a space western with pirates. Totally hasn't been done before, but I think it could be cool.

Near-Future Otherworldly Wastelands
Inspired by Borderlands, which I would describe as a "western in space". Plot/characters/ETC would not be carried over.

Firefly is an American space western television series

If it is any close to Firefly Near-Future Otherworldly Wastelands has my vote.

I can definitely see some similarities between the two, and they definitely have a similar setting, which is all I'd be going off of, really.

Steam Punk flying city?

Steam Punk flying city?

I'm looking to make a sprawl of environments rather than a single location.

Steampunk would be cool as a theme, but I don't think I could execute it very well.

So do you have an idea when a server would be up?

So do you have an idea when a server would be up?

Personally, I can't be ingame until Friday or Saturday, when my new computer is completed. Once I finish it and find a way to get online, I will begin work. I aim to really get rolling by Sunday. Hopefully this thread will help me get organized by then.

If we're talking about the final product: I couldn't be sure, but probably one to a couple of months.

Pirate theme would be the easiest to carry out in a large open world setting. Ocean map and a bunch of islands.

[Barnabas]

Western theme with floating islands and space bandits.

[Doomonkey]

Except space pirates instead of space bandits.

[End]

My current idea is this: You spawn in a rundown space western "town", built on the coast of an ocean scattered with space-pirate infested islands. The main continent is much larger, and consists of various environments and enemies such as bandits and alien things strewn about.

I could use the boundary mod to keep everything solid.

I would love a good stranded RP, Most I have seen is some crap build with people hitting each others with a hammer. LOL.
