    Well this is what i have thought of so far.. (THERE is alot missing but i have a NS match so i've had to leave it there)

    Type of game - role playing

    Things that can be bought

    Sheilds (lots of different types) - basic ones then ones that can be made from combing ceratin types will only be sold, to get other the person will need to combine materials
    Swords (lots of different types) - basic ones then ones that can be made from combing ceratin types will only be sold, to get other the person will need to combine materials
    Daggers (lots of different types) - basic ones then ones that can be made from combing ceratin types will only be sold, to get other the person will need to combine materials
    Armour (lots of different types) - basic ones then ones that can be made from combing ceratin types will only be sold, to get other the person will need to combine materials
    Metals - mix to make different types of weapons different mixes have different strengths and weaknesses
    Staves (for wizards)
    Axes
    Maces
    LongBows
    Cross Bows
    Horses - for quicker travel
    Gold - for trading and/or selling
    Silver - for trading and/or selling

    note: the money is called - Guild, ?, ? <--- ideas

    Career paths.

    Human - always start off as this
    Arch men/woman
    Wizards/witches (wise men) - Sage, Dark Sage
    Knights - can also turn onto the darkside, DarkKnight
    Warriors - men only
    Amazon - woman only
    Undead (goblin, beast, ?dragon?)

    Combining items for weapons, armour or shields

    Table may look like this in a section of the users inventory

    |Slot 1| Slot 2| Slot 3| Result|
    | | | | |

    Enemies

    Will include AI and mainly people over the internet.

    Types of AI - Trolls, skeletons

    Types of player - listed above

    Note

    A way of keeping your settings of the player will need to be thought out, the player will need to be created before connecting to a server.

    Player creating will involve having a name, colour hair, colour eyes, colour skin, sex, putting a certain number of attributes in stregth, agility, etc.

    Once choosen a career path you fight/trade.sell.buy things and gain Levels (to a certain amount) then either keep with you selected career or try a new career.

    (sorry bout the word career all the time its the only word i can think of <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)

    Undead beasts are literally the living dead. Goblins, Beasts, and Dragons (oh my!) are all living creatures. Your thinking of Skeletons, Zombies, Dracoliches, and Liches. I'd understand if a wizard were to build a contraption to keep his soul (or his life force) alive to live within the dead body (instant Liche). Goblins are scared of dieing. Dragons would work...

    I like the sound of this...

    Most likely not. As if you would put together the pieces... The man gave you a detailed description of all those creatures, meaning that he's likely a fan of medieval and fantasy stuff. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

  • neuesneues Join Date: 2003-04-28 Member: 15908Members
    I suppose i like some fantasy things.

    Medievil yeh i like some of the things from medievil times but i am not a person who can think of things for the future.

    I was thinking about making something like Mechwarrior crossed with Planetside but i didnt think it would go well.

    Not sure what you mean by that you mean were i have put Undead (goblin, beast, ?dragon?) in the same career path?
  • Dirty_Harry_PotterDirty_Harry_Potter Join Date: 2002-11-21 Member: 9500Members
    yes and no...

    Human and Undead are both a Race you can be - it's defines what kind of species you are...

    but:
    - Arch men/woman
    - Wizards/witches
    - Knights
    - Warriors
    - Amazon
    are all a career/class a Race can be - it's not like when you learn how to use a sword you're DNA changes, so you're not a human anymore but now you're a Knight...

    A personal advice from someone who tends to develop and stuff two concepts a month (practice is everything <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->): Do not start with feature lists.
    Try to forumlate the gameplay a player should be experiencing with your mod in a few short sentences, spin it off from there, and add features as they fit in the developing image. Otherwise, you'll just clutter yourself, which is the root of failing projects.
