THank you for the encouragement. I have already done the two first major governments, all their ships, dudes, weapons and outfits. I've done one governments systems, but I must warn you it isn't much. These are major ones, a human one (you) and an alien one, but they ae very primitive and small. One new feature will be the ability to colonise places (for the humans) via missions. I don't know if it's been done befre, and I can't really tell youmore, sorry. Only between the team. Obormot, I have sent an e-mail earlier today, so check your e-mail soon. Sierra, don't give up. Try e-mailing people about it. If it is a really good idea, then why not join my team. Unless it is really extraordinary, you could add the best bits to my TC, who knows? I doubt it will be possible, or that you'll want to, but in my scenario, humans own VERY little. It is an exploring game as well, ringing a new genre to it. Earht has about 3 colonies, and very little ships. You'll be very lucky to see a ship in human space, meaning that you are very important. Your main aim is to find new places to colonise and alien races to trade with, but that is only the beginning. I always wanted a plug where you were one of the only human ships, and you were tod to explore. But you see, that is only the beginning in the way that you pick sides later. There is no immediate threat to you (EV= Pirates), there is no-one waging a massive, expensive war against you (EVO= Voinians). Instead, on your actions, will things happen. That is the interesting bit. I have made many governments, but only on one gov. I have made a neutral human race, a human race that is at war with a certain gov., a human race that is an ally with a gov. ect. You see, If you piss some aliens off, the humans will be at war with them. If you deliver a peticular large cargo to them they will be allies ect. I cannot say more than that, only to my team. I know it is complicated, but it is the point. Newbies will wonder how it is done, to have a gov. suddenly turn war with another alien race. I have done a similar thing to the systems and spobs. Say:
EA (Earth Alliance) 1= Neutral
EA 2= At war with xx race.
EA 3= Allied with xx race.
I create systems on top of each other with different governments. This goes for always changing play, and to complete every scenarion possible, you will have to play a minimum of 3 pilots just for those. I have made about 10 govs, and they all have about 5 different settings each. That means that to complete the entire game thouroughly you will have to cheat and delete mission bits that stop you from getting other missions (ie. something similar to the Triple-Agent plug), or you will have to play as 50 pilots. Now, I'm certain that no-one would make 50 pilots or cheat just to finish the game, but you see how flexible it will be? Frozen Heart was grown out of as soon as you completed it, but this will go on for a very long time. I am sure that while maybe not as big or deep, it might well be nothing short of FH. Who knows, it may even be slightly better. Well, what do you think? I really want to know what you guys thing. Don't shower me with 'it's too complex or long' posts. I just want to know if it's a good idea. I don't care how long it takes, I will finish this. Even if EVO is dead, I'll do it. Even if everyone gives up, I'll do it on my own, if not for EVO then for myself. I personaly think it's a brilliant idea (modesty aside) and I want it to happen. As for the team, I'm quite happy with it, I just need someone to do sounds. I have so far:
Myself (storyline, galaxy, missions, and most things like ships ect.)
Admiral Zombat (3D graphics)
J.Ace (helpful stuff, minor graphics and support)
Zeta (missions)
Sphry (missions)
Obormot? (anything he can do)
So, 6 people is reasonable to start. I will probably get one more. I also have many beta tester and supporters. I don't care too much about beta testers, as they'll come when it is finished. I would like one special person:
An administrater of my e-mail. I need someone to answer my e-mail for me, and send my letters for me. I'm taking a short break on the plug as I wait for one or two more people to come, so I am writing this and my e-mail now. However, I will not have much spare time as I slave away on my plug, and I will need someone to do this for me. It would be a great help.
As for Qazwer, you can do the missions too. I have me, Zeta (or is it Zelda?:confused and Sphry doing missions, but I plan to make lots of missions, and 4 mission people would b great. Oh yes, and Obormot, as for your one month TC's may I remind you that you said they were never released and had stolen graphics. What do you expect? Graphics will take ages, and what you have read should give you an idea of the complexatey I have to take on. Remember that no-one is doing governments and systems. With the system I told you about, it is going to take ages to do that. Remember that Frozen Heart alone took 14 months with Martin Turner, a very good plug maker. So, you see why it will take at least a year? I need at least 1 more graphic person, and a sound person, hopefully 2. So, there is a lot of work to be done.
Phew. I just looked at my topic, and it's shÃt long. Oh well, thank you for reading it. Please reply and answer my qustions.
