Title: Massive Project Christopia Game??
Post by: PsychicHeart on Sun 03/09/2006 23:02:07
Lo.
I was thinking about it, and does anyone else ponder the possibility of an AGS-developed Christopia game?
I'm pretty sure it was mentioned in the Christopia thread way back.
Anyway, i was thinking it could be one of those Massive Contribution games, perhaps we gather our best and brightest in their varied talents (graphics, dialogue, audio etc) and have it as a section on the main page.
I've compiled a list of some possible forumites for this project.

UNOFFICIAL INCOMPLETE LIST FOR CHRISTOPIA GAME
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Music - Nikolas
*BGs - After seeing their awesome CL Tablet entry, Mordalles?

And that's about all i can think of, will edit and nominate some sprite artists, Dialogue, story editors etc.

Please tell me what you think and if you think this idea could work.
Cheers,
Fluke.

perhaps one Massive contribution game that (seems to have) died is enough?

I would just like to state there are more musicians than Nikolas on this forum you know, and besides, christopia isnt fit for Nik's songs! It's too barbaric!

Myself and Nacho are currently working on a game based in "Christopia". I'm not so sure one massive game would work, but something more along the lines of RON would be quite successful.

Fluke, sorry my friend, but I'm definately not going to be able to help in that project.

I'm already full in my hands, and if you see I have removed all icons from my avatar, as I'm honestly really busy this time of year.

But indeed a RON kind of thing would be cool. Great thinking.

As mentioned on Mittens, it would be t3h cool to have RON-like animations for AGS regulars.

I'm just a bit concerned that people are going a bit OTT with this whole Christopia thing.

Bloody hell, he's just a bloke who likes adventure games and made an engine. YOU ARES ALL A BUMCH OF MAD LOONYS!1111!

And what would a Christopia game entail? Think about it fools!

I think this type of game would be better suited for a board game, kind of like Monopoly. We could take certain members of the forums and group them like Boardwalk & Park Place in Monopoly.

If you land on Helm Street and Pumaman Boulevard with hotels, You're totally f-ed. Plus the game pieces could be a blue cup and such.  Sounds fun.

Yeah! We are working in that, and we might need help...

At the moment we only have static sprites for Chrille, Blazej, Ryan and CJ...

PM me or m0ds if you can animate this, or colour 320X200 BGs based on pencil sketches in DoTT style.

Thanks for the help Fluke! ^_^

CJ looks like a blonde Rowan Atkinson, aka Mr. Bean.

That's so brilliant, I could see right away who was who. Good job!

I love the idea, the sprites look brilliant. You should try to make more of those for all the people that attended, Farlander! ;D

This game would be great if everybody contributes a little where he/she can.

If enough people would dedicate to the project and if they could keep it together I think the best way would be to make it an open adventure game, where you can wander around and do about anything (Use Crowbar on Window -> no "I can't do that." type of stuff), and there would be some sort of a storyline they could complete if they want.

But getting it started and then keeping it together seems quite a notgoingtohappen to me.

And we have quite a load of musicials around here, so it it was to be a massive contribution thing,  we'd be lucky to get to make more than one track each, I reckon.

Hm, interesting... what such a coop game would need is a self-extending script (that is, if you "click foo on bar" and there's no interaction yet, the game should ask you what you like the interaction to be). Would be a nice exercise in teambuilding and/or community stuff, but probably not create a very playable game, although it would have a ton of inside jokes like that white playing card thingy :)

Anyway, Nacho, are you also going to sprite the rest of us? Please?

Anyway, i would love to see myself as a sprite, even tho almost noone in these forums know who i am..

The idea was to include almost 0% in-jokes. And yeah, if not all, almost all of the miteneers will be there, if not as a playable char, in some way (it's a theme park, lots of employees, no?)  ;)

And a theme park can't be complete without a flower minister, right?

Right.

Amazing sprites, by the way.
