I didn't read page 50, got sick of Ephi's bashing. Also I gotta pack for a trip.

Anyone can register, just post here with the username you used so I can let you on.

It's not bashing, its presenting logical flaws in your programming and development structure.

Pointless flaming you mean? I'll answer all the 'criticism' when I get back from my campout/trip thingy tomorrow eveningish.
The stuff about radius searches I did read (at least all of it I saw when scanning) and that seemed legit.

Also, I'm in too big of a hurry to tweak the forum settings, but it's at survivalbl.freeforums.org. Anyone can register at the moment. Anyone that just goes there to flame I'll ban when I get back.

I think you need to understand the difference between "pointless flaming" and "being told the scary truth that you don't want to hear".

Flame wars don't accomplish anything - In EITHER direction.

Ephialtes: You won't succeed in collaborating with others to produce a quality RPG.
LegoEggo: You're only saying that because no one ever has.
Ephialtes: Exactly.

If you think telling players to get supplies enough to make one fire, wait til it dies, then find more supplies and make a fire somewhere else is enough to sustain an RPG, you're quite daft.

Are you ready to learn the number one reason why every RPG project in Blockland fails?  It's because the premises to them are unsustainable.  People don't enjoy doing the same menial stuff over and over and over again.  People involved in these projects never seem to thoroughly develop the premise for them, which means that the game play cannot sustain itself, which means it fails.

Bring all your 1337 coder buddies and your map wizards and your master modelers.  Even if you succeed in making something people can play and want to play, the RPG's lack of replayability will be its own undoing.

But what makes this re-playable is the alliances that can form. Its a lot more playable then clicking trees or waiting for your next paycheck.

Player 1: Hey man, wanna share my fire?
Player 2: Yeah, if we need more heat we can just rub our naked bodies together.
Player 1: Sweet!  I love forming alliances...

I WANNA TEAM! DONT KILL ME I AM TEAM! LET ME USE YOUR BASE!

Surely re playable.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.  Don't get ahead of yourself.  There are no bases.  Just fires.  The correct phrase is "LET ME USE YOUR FIRE!".

Oh, come on.  It's is so replayable.  You...uh...Y'know what?  Replaying this is like playing Fallout 3 several times in a row.

BUT, this is a good idea.  Make it less demanding and maybe it'll be a success to an extent.

Except that Fallout 3 is a very well thought out, fun game.
