What are you making? - TTLG Forums

So this is the thread where you discuss your creative gaming-related endeavors, be it mods, addons, and games you are making.

And I'll start off with:

An unnamed rogue-like in c++ using sdl and opengl, it's a bit of an inspiration of dwarf fortress and minecraft, with the focus being on a more condensed and detailed experience with plans of a mode where you build dungeons with puzzles and things that you can share around.

A starcraft 2 mod that just uses ui-scripting which functionally still retains multiplayer capabilities:

Old c++ with sdl + opengl project with civ/col/smac style gameplay, it's been a learning project and the basis of many a headaches, since I'm still learning alot of concepts I've never touched before in programming, entity-systems, event systems and what not.

Advoc* and I have been throwing our game ideas at one another, and seeing what sticks.

Code:

8:45 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: Let's just say VtM: Bloodlines flirted with a few ideas I had
8:45 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: not the Vampire shit
8:46 AM - Advoc: yeah Dead Space flirted with a few of mine
8:46 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: just the interactions
8:46 AM - Advoc: ah
8:46 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: and the fact that it is in MODERN DAY
8:46 AM - Advoc: yeah, not a lot of modern day rpgs
8:46 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: but it won't be all shootery
8:47 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: it'll still be melee focused
8:47 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: as mankind has reverted back to living off of the land
8:47 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: and NO
8:47 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: IT ISN'T POSTAPOCOLYPTIC
8:47 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: LOL
8:47 AM - Advoc: lol
8:47 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: technology has simply become 'illegal'
8:47 AM - Advoc: yeah mine isn't centred around an evil megacorporation
8:48 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: and fazed out
8:48 AM - Advoc: avoid the cliche lol
8:48 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: and forgotten about
8:48 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: eventually
8:48 AM - Advoc: neat idea
8:48 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: see I imagine time going backwards
8:48 AM - Advoc: FP? 3P?
8:49 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: like the history books in this world post illegal status
8:49 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: will read like WILD WEST, Then REV WA, THEN
8:49 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: REV. WAR
8:49 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: then middle ages
8:49 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: that's where our story picks up
8:50 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: where we have reverted back to middle ages
8:50 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: and someone finds an ANCIENT artifact of the 21st century
8:50 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: begins to worship it
8:50 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: and unlock it's 'secrets'
8:50 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: that kinda thing
8:50 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: basically
8:51 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: he's the bad guy, btw :)
8:51 AM - Advoc: cool
8:51 AM - Advoc: I'd play it
8:51 AM - Advoc: I'll help if you want too :)
8:52 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: it is the job of protagonist to go around and prevent this old tech. from falling into the wrong hands and preserving the harmony
8:52 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: it was born out of my love for history
8:52 AM - Advoc: its intriguing
8:52 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: I can't figure out what perspective though
8:52 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: 3rd or 1st
8:53 AM - Darth Gunsmoke: I go back and forth

*Volitions Advocate around these parts

I made a "realistic" weapons mod for Arsenal mod for the AMK mod for SoC.
I also made one for Complete.
That's about it.

@Eldron

Are working for Fatshark?

I'm just curious because Fatshark consists of former Grin employees and you've mentioned that you worked for the latter (before they were closed).

Some guys were shifted over to fatshark, but most headed other ways, I'm at interwave studios now.

Currently I'm doing some config tweaking but I've done textures, materials and some modeling too.

I started a top-down "French Revolution" sim, with a City-economy sandbox (Elite like) along for the ride.

I started on Unity, but I love the art of the 1739 Map of Paris, which would make it 2.5D and I don't know if that's great for Unity, also not sure if it's great for all the bot & economy simulating. (I read that it has its own scripting language you have to learn & work with.) But I like that you have the whole game in front of you, really fun to work with. I like just being able to plop my guy & some bots down in the world and watch them run around right off.

I'm working on a triple-A title for PC, X360, and PS3.

Woah - "AAA" and Arkane don't seem to match, not because of quality but because of company size. Is it considered an AAA title because of budget, or pedigree?

Digital Nightfall on 14/2/2011 at 15:30

We're part of ZeniMax now, is why.

(and in case this comes as a surprise to you, it's actually plastered all over our jobs page. (http://jobs.zenimax.com/index.php?a=info&d=arkane))
