For the longest time I was interested to create a great role playing game. well between 8h work and the managing of virtual teams unpaid that keep quiting on you, after a few project I just gave up. I than remember a game that I played a long time ago, knights of legends by Origin. what strike me the most about this game was it very original combat system. I'm not going to explain here, Google it and find out. I realized that it would be very cool too spend this limited free time to do on task better than a whole game. The idea would be to develop a original combat system base on the game I loved so much, but bringing it to the age of 3d and developing it so that it could be licensed to other who actually make games. The basic idea would be to create something that is a plugin for a all range of engines, as well as having the ability to be cross platform. Off course I do not want to say too much at this stage, but would love to get some feed back form the community, would this make a good project, what are the plus and cons, does some of you artist and coders interested in such a project,well you know the usual rent and praise thing! Thank you.

Ok guys I've already though of a showcase game for this type of engine and my idea was to make a Arena type of thing, but with all the Fantasy trimings. Orcs, drawves, elfs with long range weapons, Wizards etc... What is nice about this is that you keep everything in one big box. Whatchathink?

Hmm. I saw there were a few people that would want to actually make a game. So I set the board up. http://whnn.jok.novahost.org/ That's the board. Register, PM me (Jokker) if you're there to help with the games, or just to browse, and I'll add you to the appropriate membergroup.

hey guy sorry i was off line for a bit. let me know what you guys have in mind... i can commit some programming time if need be..we just need to come together and collaborate on a game document. google documents is a great tool for this kind of thing.....if you guys don't have gmail i have some invitations i can send out.

I had spent a very long time designing a sophisticated semi twitch based combat system with a lot of intuitive controls for TVA. I then discovered Roma Victor and it appears that a lot of it has been done before which left me some what disappointed considering how long I had spent thinking it up. Still it was bound to happen in two quite similar productions. Well if you're still looking for an interesting combat system you should definitely check out how they handle it: http://www.roma-victor.com/sotw/

Yeah, thats so common... is just an idea. (lol)

Google "die by the sword" and you will find a 3d game where you can target all bodyparts and chop them off by hitting that part multiple times.

Seems rather interesting. :p
