Chit-Chat / Elf Quest Multiplayer Online Game...
« on: May 02, 2012, 03:51:26 PM »
For a while now work has been done to put together an on-line multiplayer gaming experience for fans of Elf Quest.
It has been given the OK by Richard Pini to be made as a not-for-profit Fan Game, and the intention is to make it available free to play.
Even so, it's still in the early stages of development, with most of the effort being in the form of discussion about the details of how the game might feel, as well as exploring how the chosen game engine works to understand what needs to be done to get the game playable.
Other than some basic experimentation no graphics have been started, however the style and perspective have been roughed out.
Currently, the intended game engine is called NetGore, a royalty free, free to use and completely customizable 2D game engine. The format is Top Down, with the graphics drawn in a foreshortened perspective, similar to parts of Zelda or Age of Empires.
The goal is to make a socially interactive Roll Play type game in which a player can "live" in the World of Two Moons.
I would like whatever thoughts, ideas, concerns, questions, comments... whatever discussion that fans of Elf Quest might like to see in the game. The more input I can get the more enjoyable the game might be.
I would also like to know if anyone might want to help out with graphics design, pixel art, layout or content advising.
