My New Game (I Need Help!!!)

[simon305]

I have been working on a medieval pixelized game like a mix between habbo and runescape

I can't tell you game name until i copyright it and tm the symbol.

My game is set to the size of habbo and the grid to this game will be the same as habbo aswell

(i have only helped make one game before called medeval so help me)

Staff Needed!

I need people who can make me a unique style of pixel people ... very much like a habbo but all features need to be changed. (due to copyright)
I allso needthe clotes.

I need people who can make paths, streams, monsters,fences, and anything elce what would appear in a medieval game.


Buldings (very old medieval style)
Shops, (very old medieval style)
houses, (very old medieval style)

Type:
walls up with roof
walls down no roof
(a bit like "The Sims" so you can just click walls down when you want to click and go inside a place)

items: a bit like runescape you find items and put them in your item pocket.

*Personal houses are part of thsi game but i cant add them yet as im starting the game small

People Please post idias aswell for this...

(prive message me for other jobs eg: shockwave experts)

(if you post work in this topic and i like it ill buy it from you useing paypal =) )

Ty, Hopeing you will reply soon :)


Heres a bit of a view on how i am going to make the game window look

You people really make me sick

Your never going to do it, and your never going to be as popular as a multi-million pound a year gross profit company.

So what can you do? Create images? Code in HTML? Expect to make a isometric chat? I dont think so.

Loads of people say the same thing. Get over it. If you want it to be popular, hire 5 of the top experts on a £90000 per year salary.

Loose the dream

Give him a chance see what he produces when its finished then comment on it I recon.

Sorry but i have to second Joe.
U have no idea what money got spend on making habbo hotel.
U cant expect making a game alike.
Even the (stupid/ugly in my eyes) runescape has alot of money behind it.

Im not saying u cant, i mean no1 know's for sure, if u could that be really nice.
Its just, i dont see it happening.

sorry

[Panther]

now you put it that Way I agree

Anyway Im off to pack for my holiday see u all of the 14th

[ebay]

other than game frame wot have u done

[simon305]

i dont wanna be rich i just want a game for a few people includeing me for now mabe 100 people playing and im done

im a master and macromedia director and macromedia flash


Allso ive set up alot on macromedia director and i have a 19 person team with me.

Just im the only one good at pixel art

[adm]

So what do the others do?

19 people...

I'd like proof.

[Kymux]

If anything i'd try sticking to a web based game. They can be charged and are pretty simple. The only problem is making it original.

[adm]

Making a web rpg game unique is a next-to-difficult task.

:)

And the link you provided doesn't work ;)

[SimplyTech]

Ok then hmmmm
Give me the code for a simple flash button

[adm]

Lite, he probably couldn't code an apple pie.

The thing is - he want's other people to do the work and for him to take the glory. And these things never work so i'd quit whilat you're ahead.

And don't bother saying - "Awww, give him a chance", because the chance of this taking off is about 1 in 1,000,000,000,000... reasons:-

-: Has no intention of doing much himself - apart from pixel art which he hasn't showed any of us yet.
-: He lied about the amount of people he has working on the project because quite frankly - you don't need that many...
-: He has no intention of hiring professionals or professional amateurs to do any coding...

I'm sure you've taken my points into consideration and I strongly advise that you do not go ahead with this project as it will fail and only make you weaker - young one.

[SimplyTech]

Also why would he watermark that **** no offence but its not exactly good pixel art is it

[adm]

All I can say is, you tried - well by tried, I mean made a page for the game frame thing. Which isn't really tried is it?

Idea, try, fail, depression, death

What an equation:

Game Idea + Hope -> Failure + Death

Here's my test:
How do you get copyright?

I know the answer. But do you?

[adm]

You say, that's mine - therefore it's copyright...

Trademark is different - includes paying.

[:Blob]

You have to pay for copyright.

And TM is £200

Really?

Copyright is free if you make something unique and you made it... isnt it?

Well, I cba reading through all that but from what I can gather £200 for tradmark and £50 for every subsequent trademark registry after that.

And copyright - never said anything about cost but never read it so can someone give me an update on that :)

Good old joe lol

[simon305]

Stop argueing and tell em if aanyone here will help

[adm]

Do you want me to quote post #11 in this thread?

No-one will help for that reason(s)

[Colin-Roberts]

quote from gov site

There are no forms to fill in and no fees to pay to get copyright protection.

[joshspk4]

goodluck your gonna need it, habbo took 7 years to make.

[reindeer.]

You havent got a cat in hell's chance of making this successful.

[ADAM:]

I have been learning Macromedia Director for a while now and it is hard.

But you say your a master at it.

So If your so good at it whats the code to build a timer object. To be honest if you dont no this your cant be a master because its very simple.

[Kyle™]

Have you got evidence of previous projects or work?

[SAMURAl555]

Your game window is just a massive rip of habbo window and runespace window put together. And i agree with everyone else you have no hope.

[alexxxxx]

Really?

Copyright is free if you make something unique and you made it... isnt it?


yeah. That's it. You don't pay for copyight. How much stuf do you think would have to registered?

In the US, you can pay for extra protection copyright.

[craigg.]

Hmm, I don't know how to work with this one, but yeah anyway; to make a RPG you need a heck of a lot of determination, and I'm not exaggerating here at all, if anything I'm doing the opposite. You need a great team and quite a few coders as I guess you're doing it in Adobe Director, you will need client side coders and server side coders, both are difficult. Client side is all the easy stuff such as furniture and basic animation/movement where as server side is the coding for the databases, so that the user names match up, error if there is no correlation etc.

The window preview you have showed, oh please, change it. You want a light refreshing window not some dark and dingy 5 second job which has been ripped from a few websites. You really need to wipe the map on this one, you need to sit down, have a conference, and talk about the graphics side of this... If you make a game purely based on medieval times, what age group is this appealing too, etc.

Another aspect you need to take into consideration, is the marketing side of things, if you want to go forward in your RPG, you need to have investors, advertising and affiliates.

Then you need to start thinking about deadlines - everyone needs them, if not, your whole game will crumble at the palm of your hands... The coders must work at a strict deadline where as if your pixel artists are talented, they would take at least one month to get one room finished. If you take Habbo Hotel into account, they are really lacking detail, they have a cartoon feel to it, yet if you want a medieval RPG, you are not going to have a medieval cartoon game are you? It’s stupid when you have a good idea ruined by one simple mistake. Anyway, Good luck, you’re going to need it in everyway possible.
