Author Topic: Star Wars RPG  (Read 3282 times)

Seeing as I've scrapped put Depth on the backburner for now, along with the recent release of the new Star Wars, I thought I'd work on a new project.

Star Wars is a massive topic. There's just too much to try to include in one game, so I'm going to focus on the Star Wars from the original trilogy. So far, I plan on having:



Allegiance - Upon joining the server, players will have to decide whether they'll be apart of the Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire. This will decide who their friends and enemies are, where they can travel, what quests they can do, etc...  You will not be able to change your allegiance.
Travel - After deciding their side, players have the option to travel to multiple planets / other areas. Some locations will be restricted to certain allegiances / levels.
Warzones - Warzones will be locations where both sides can travel to, and fighting will be encouraged.
Quests - Players will follow quests throughout the locations they visit. Upon completion, players will be rewarded and can further progress.
Levels - A level system will exist. Leveling up will make players stronger, unlock more areas, etc... Levels will be gained through quests and fighting enemies.
Credits - (Currency, self explanatory). Credits will be used to buy items, trade(?), etc...
Jedi / Sith - A higher tier of the Rebels / Empire. Will be unlocked after a certain amount of time, will make players stronger, unlock more areas, lightsabers...
Lightsabers - Going along with the Jedi / Sith, players will be able to craft their own unique lightsaber after a Hercules-tasks-like quest.

Along with these, I have some other thoughts for features that I still haven't quite figured out how to implement / whether should be added:

Apprentice System - Again, going along with Jedi / Sith, hope to have some system where players can form a symbiotic-like relationship, student-master, etc...
Trade - Players could be able to buy items and sell them off at different planets for profit. Maybe have something like bounty hunters / smugglers also get involved?
Community Events - Events where players get involved together, things like Speeder Races, attacks on Deathstar, space battles, I really don't know yet.

That's all for now up here, time for some pretty pictures.




-Rebel Alliance spawn


-Galactic Empire spawn


-Players have to make a big decision...


-Quest for the Lightsaber


-A room in the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine


-Rebels defending their Shield Generator



Playtests
-Going to have a playtest tomorrow (1-1-16) around 3 PM - 5 PM EST. This'll feature the 2 new quests with the Jedi / Sith system, hope to see you there.

Well, thanks for reading up to here, I don't really need any help building / eventing / whatever. I'll be accepting help, pm / post here if you're interested. Suggestions and ideas are also welcomed, thanks!

Looks interesting, would like to see some more screenshots. What are the planets?

Thanks! So far have Tatooine, Hoth, and Illum (place where Jedi get crystals for lightsabers) done, as well as a couple moons / other locations (like allegiance rooms and cantina). Along with all this, have Geonosis (in the works), Dagobah, Kashyyyk, Moon of Endor, and a couple other moons planned, could use more suggestions.




"Here on Tatooine, just got myself this new X-34; but you know what I like more than-"




-Canyon on Geonosis


-Rebel base on Hoth







You NEED to make Nar shaddar. Perfect for a hub or player to player interaction.

If I get to the point where I can be a Jedi do I have to be a Jedi or can there be higher level troopers?

That Tatooine looks hot. Nice job on the soil layers.

Looked it up, and that place looks awesome for trade and piracy things. Definitely going to include it, thanks!

Since becoming a Jedi / Sith will require completing a quest, you're not required to become them as quests are optional. However, that means you won't receive the rewards from the quest, get a lightsaber, or get a huge buff from becoming a Jedi / Sith. As for higher level Troops, I don't really have anything in mind at the moment. Maybe in the future though, thanks!

Thanks! Was going for a layered look, still think it's a little small for Tatooine though.



OT:


-Beginnings of a town on Geonosis. Before anyone asks, yes, the arena from Attack of the Clones will be included and functional.


-For third time changing colors on Geonosis. I think this amber look of sky looks nice, what are your thoughts?


-A crater on one of the moons...


-Quest for becoming Sith / gaining lightsaber.
-Also incase anyone noticed, fixed glitch where level appeared as "Force Level Level #"

Is it playable in an alpha state yet? If so can you start hosting?

Korriban would be cool

I'd say it's decently playable. Have the allegiance and level systems in place, some planets and other locations are done. A playtest would be nice, but it'd be short and most likely laggy as my internet / computer is wonky at the moment. I'll try to figure this out sometime tomorrow.

Korriban would be cool

Ooo Sith graveyard, gonna see how that turns out later tonight.

what are you using for separate skies on each planet?

smart use of modtercubes and glow FX.


The colors for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance should be the other way around. They're usually blue for the Empire and red for the Rebels in most of the official games and in the movies the Rebels like red as a theme color.

While it is true that the Rebels have red and dark reds as their colors, I've never seen blue used for the empire in any of the movies / some of the games. Eitherway, it's not really to signify their colors, it's just there to be the generic "Red = Empire = Bad," Blue = Rebels = Good." Thanks for the heads up though.



OT: Massive amount of work done on Geonosis.


-Upper area of town on Geonosis.


-Lower area of town.


-Full town.


-Main area on Geonosis


-Droid refinery.


-Another shot from the refinery.



Along with Geonosis, done some work on the Rebel Base on Hoth.




-Elevator leads up to another part of base.



That's all for now, added some extra caves / areas on Hoth and Tatooine aswell. As for a playtest today, I don't think it'll be happening. Need to edit the allegiance system, right now it's pretty messy and hard to work around.
