I think its time for a community game. Anyone else agree?

I was thinking along the lines of an online game but not a big advanced one, something simple. Maybe a 3D version of this game: http://www.owensworld.com/flashgames/play-662.htm

I could be in charge of modeling the city and texturing and such, maybe with Bami's help since thats what gave me the idea (his renders). I have this done so far:

This is pretty much my vision but im open to ideas because yeah its a community game. :P

What do you think?

I think we should start a poll to see how many people will want to join, if they want this theme, and what they can do, if we begin this seriously.

(that's why it would be a poll :D)

I say wait. Let the soup of ideas cook for a little longer. There's no such thing as a burnt soup.







Overcooked soups are usually just as good anyways.

Yeah keep the ideas coming. I really dont want to pursue a first person view game. I'm over working on them. I want Starcraft view but abit closer in.

well i think, since this would be the first community game, it should be something simple, but fun, and it should use most of U3D's features, kinda like the tech demo, but in a game form.

my choice would be a simple tank game (like a 3d version of the flash game Tanks 2), it's pretty simple, and everyone would know how to play from the beginning. the terrain deformation could be used (like in the flash game), the tanks would have parallax mapping, the explosions and other effects would use the particle system, and we can add little things that use some of the other features if necessary.

if you want to try something more complicated, there's always this battle game i've been thinking about... multiplayer, customizable weapons, you know... fun. but it might be a bit complicated... so anyone else have any other game ideas?

yeah bumpmapping on tank 2. We could also make a space game.

A simple game like that would be good.

Because anything first person usually becomes a shooter which usually becomes too complicating to make which usually makes people give up on the project.

An online tanks game in u3d, I like the sound of that.

However, a fps shooter may not be a bad idea. We have people here who are good at each category needed, such as graphics. Maybe, just maybe....
we could make a kick-ass game.
Or according to xkcd, a kick ass-game.

Yeah, but you can boil all the water away and you're left with vegetables, which burn :P

See, I would rather do a shooter, like an fps or top down, but those get too complicating to make and people will give up. Tanks is easy, but I'm good with both.

We can make the tank game fun as well. Cool weapons, explosions and such. Should be a solid 60fps on my crap pc as well. Do you guys want online multiplayer (usually time consuming and comes with its wagon of issues), or do you want it like the flash game where everyone gets a go, which would be cool as well?

So our idea is a 3d version of the tank game. An idea i had was to have different levels and such, like this:

http://filebeam.com/5c9b107ffd449a7b27ea43dc5f2819bd.jpg
Scale: In between the two rows of trees would be the thickness of the road.

What do you think? (image that image full of buildings and such)
Another thing is jobs. I can be a small contributor to programming, project manager and the modeler for the city. Please apply if you have a skill. ^_^

Im voting for the tank one because if its easier to make, i might be of some use in it. Since im learning how to use U3D, i would find something like a FPS too hard. Something like a tank game would be easier for me to help with, and i would learn alot from it.

Besides, simple games can be just as fun as a FPS.
