Re: OpenSource Game

I apologize again for not responding, life just keeps throwing me curves, and it doesn't look like its going to stop anytime soon! With that said, yes the attempt is to have a completely open source game, utilizing as many open source programs for creation as possible, content and concept. I am sure...

Re: OpenSource Game

Sorry, I have been away for a while, life catches up to us and there is no escape sometimes.

So now that I am back from the Abyss, I hope to actually get started with this project and begin delving into RF, at least for today.

You are absolutely right, also the lighting needs improvement, but my aim here is not praise or crits on the art just yet, but the development of an opensource game story, one in which designers can write "develop games" in the settings provided from different perspectives. Remember the original Hal...

Of course, the primary reason for RF usage is because it is opensource, there are other options, such as blender, OGRE, etc. And although there are a lot of great and fantastic engines out there, not many are opensource.

The name of the game as it stands is "The OtherSide". Yes that is a demo real, and yes I am referring to making an opensource game, one that all of us could work on. As to whether RF can handle it, well thats where inventiveness comes into play. Where there is a will there is a way.

I am also developing in UnReal, but what we are dealing with here is creating an opensource game-story. I am wondering if the concept is too difficult to grasp, although it shouldn't be. The screenshots are not meant to elicit praise of crits but to prompt game-story content, game-design decisions a...

Yes I am aware of the lower poly count and smaller texture sizes and I am sure that there are a plethora of bells and whistles that Ut has that RF doesn't, but a story can be told without prety pictures (although pretty pictures are nice). It is the content that makes a story and game. I still find ...

I am not a programmer, but this scripted projectile "magic" could it be mutated so that within different parts of a level or environment it could behave differently or randomly?

Just curious.

For instance, here is Charon the one who guides souls to their final destinations, his words to wondering souls are "come" and "go", but there can be more to this character, maybe he is a sage like individual or maybe he takes souls for himself from time to time? I don't know but with the collaborat...

UT2004 UnReal Tournament, and RF looks like a viable medium. Some of the scenes I would like to reproduce, but what I would really like to to do is produce an opensource game, produced with opensource programs, with the creation of the game including story in an opensource manner, that is no one own...
