Author Topic: Campaign based gamemode: [Quest for the lost Golden Brick]- Anyone want to help?  (Read 3803 times)


Plot: The golden brick has been found in a the midst of a desert town building server. A excavation sight has been constructed in there to get out the golden brick. While on a trip to an excavation sight things take a terrible turn. You and Professor Plastic arrive to find a seemingly topless pillar of soft- 3 (or sand). But from even the distance of where you are you notice, the pillar is growing. You and Prof. Plastic escape barely when the whole server is engulfed in the pillar. Now many players stranded homeless there is only one thing in the game powerful enough to clear the bricks of what destroyed it. The golden brick.
 Now you must gather a team of players to get the brick and restore the building server to peace.

Shorter Summary: You need to get a team together to go find the golden brick and save a server.



More plot concerning ideas

Please note this is the basic idea. The team can change and edit plot, team, bosses, and levels.

Team: You, Professor Plastic, Blockhead, Police man, Time Traveler, Spaceman, Caveman, Pirate, Solider
Bosses: Rampage Blockhead, Mafia leader, Alien menace, Fleet Admiral, Protector of the Golden Brick
Standard Enemies: Sand soldiers, escaped criminals, aliens!!1!, Imperial troopers, Protector of the Golden Brick Underlings
Level list: The Rising Pillar, The battle of Brick Lane, Height of the Highway, The Darker side of New ACM, Secret room, Defend the Device, New Era, Metto-Brick Space Dock, Stranded in a Time before Plot, Yarr!, The Siege of Fort Fort, War - Bricky Battles, Airways of Time, Into the Temple, Battle of the Golden Brick, Enjoying the Restored Server

15 levels, Enjoying the Restored Server is a free-build mode afterwards with the build being the desert town building server. The levels are not random btw they are connected by a plot.



People needed for the project

Builders, Plot developers (since what I have currently is just an outline.), Scripters, Eventers

Builders: You make the place. You take orders from plot developers and eventers so things fit together nicely.
Plot Developers: You work together to make the story. You make dialogue, the plot flow, and other plot stuff. You tell the builders what is needed along with the eventers for the teams movement (the team is AI.)
Scripters: You make the actual gamemode. This includes the level system and all other jobs related to coding
Eventers: One of the most important jobs. The eventers make pretty much all the characters (bots), make all the characters not act like idiotic AI, get the plot to run smoothly, tell the builders some commands so events be put into the bricks, and work with the scripters to make event activated parts of the code events can't do alone.



Ideal Features for this include

Level system: Similar to rampage and speedkart it loads a build an a environment that will be played through.
Level loading and saving: Saves the current progress as in checkpoint and level server side. So a player can get on blockland later, turn on the gamemode, and put in a chat command to load where they were before.
Level selection: Levels can be selected to play. You must have beaten the level first though. A list of completed levels will come up with a chat command. Selecting a level will also be a chat command. Unlike loading a level from a saved point this will load it from the beginning of the level.
Multiplayer Support: The builds will be large so more than one person can join in. The idea is it shall support up to 4 players using it.
Functional AI: The eventers need to make the bots not go off and do there own thing and instead follow some set paths for gameplay. The enemy bots will have to normally come and try to attack you. Not get lost while firing a printer.
Detail Do to the fact that this is going to be a bunch of smaller builds and not one large build it can have detail. That does not mean overusing bricks in a spammy fashion just because you can.



The Team

The current people working who will work be working on this. The reason for the limits is so that the team does not grow to the point it can not be moderated. More slots will open if development is to slow or members do not show up for development. Members will not be kicked off the team for missing development sessions though. You can be in more than one group just so ya know. Only state you plan on joining if you actually plan on working.
 
Current team:
Builder: Phantom Knight, Transformer, °ªÐråîth³ | 5 spots open
Scripter: Lordician | 3 spots open
Eventer: miedgar, Tranformer | 3 spots open
Plot Developer: Cool Boi, Bester Bageler, SirLancelot7, Shadowed999 | 3 spots open
Testers: All members of development team are given the offer for testing.  



Other notes

The main purpose of this topic is to currently get a team together. A topic in Modification Discussion will be made once I feel like there is enough people on the team for it to be actual development.

Post if you can help. Development is going to be slow so if you can work on Saturday's that is all I need. Also feel free to give ideas you have for this. I want to know what other people want and see if I can and the supposed team can fit it in. Feel free to ask questions and give comments.

bump, does anyone feel like helping on this idea?

I'd like to be a plot developer, but I'd need some time to come up with some material

Ok, added you and the other people who offered to help me.

bump, does anyone want to do this?

I can event, but I can't play often...

I'd be happy to help though!

I do, but I lack time and building skill. Maybe we could discuss ideas via PMs/other?

We need a black man on the team so people don't think were tribal, hired along with miedgar. First I want to get a capable number of people on the team so I can plan building sessions where we can all get to working at the same time.

Woo i'm the token black guy! :cookieMonster:


In all seriousness, i'd love a position as the Plot Developer.

I would love to to help in both eventing and building if you still want help in those areas

Edit: what kind of weapons do you plan on using?

Older more classic weapons for that blockland feeling. Such as Kage's shotgun and sniper rifle, along with double barrel shotgun and other stuff. If anything the private parts are going to be mainly code.

Do you want to use Gikon's weapons? (http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=133195.0) they're from around V9. These were amazing. I can get them to you.

Hey hey this is still going down people!

I suck at building and eventing, I have no clue how to script, and my imagination is stuck on what to do with this picture: http://wallpoper.com/wallpaper/cgi-rift-361105


Any way I could still help?



EDIT: Maybe I can get some reference pictures for the builders and plotters to use?
