Don"t know that game, so I cannot judge him. Still I"ll lay the odds that Sceleris is at least just as good and probably much better. Anyways, I hope they licensed this engine to start with:http://www.projectoffset.com/
$50M in capital from 3 rabid MMO fans who want to make an awesome game, or $50M from misc investors who want the biggest return on their buck and don"t understand that thatdoesmean making an awesome game... regardless of deadlines? It seems deadlines bite a lot of people in the ass... they need to please the investors, and end up making a crappy game.We are looking at a game right now that could potentially have a 50+ million dollar pre-launch budget
So you are going to make a Star Wars MMO? =)we do want to add things to the MMO space that we know for a fact don"t exist, or we believe were done poorly.
ummm... isn"t that the type of game that Curt typically plays?The worst thing you could do is to make another EQ2/Vanguard clone.
Let"s put it this way, the decision to make your own game ("I can do better than that!") usually doesn"t come while playing the greatest game on earth.redjunkopera said:ummm... isn"t that the type of game that Curt typically plays?
I cannot quote this enough.Neric said:Curt, I give you a hint and it"s absolutely free: If you want to be successful, don"t follow the mainstream opinion that"s based on Koster"s Theory of Fun. The worst thing you could do is to make another EQ2/Vanguard clone.
P.S.: If you need an outstanding artist for your character models, sign Sceleris from this very thread.
Spawn is a comic book, and ya that projectoffset I remember reading about a pretty long time ago. Their web site is kinda meh, but when I watched those videos man...Neric said:Don"t know that game, so I cannot judge him.

Trying to achieve above and beyond what is already set forth is something that the gaming industry needs.Passionand having a vision of what you are doing reigns supreme.Ngruk said:We are looking at a game right now that could potentially have a 50+ million dollar pre-launch budget, and understanding that if we achieve the vision we have set forth, we will change the landscape of this industry game wise, and company wise, forever.
I"m torn. Koster also made UO, and I <3 UO longtime and its spiritual successor, Eve Online. So, I still don"t think Koster"s all bad, despite the Star Wars mess.Neric said:Curt, I give you a hint and it"s absolutely free: If you want to be successful, don"t follow the mainstream opinion that"s based on Koster"s Theory of Fun.

What game has he released since then?McQuaid also made EQ at one stage of his career. Obviously it doesn"t matter what you have done in the past
Koster is to MMORPG"s now as Molyneux is to video games. However, I do not think Koster really ever did anything that stood out in my mind as something worth talking about.Bizanich said:I"m torn.

My main curiousity is if Ngruk (get something pronounceable k thx) is leaning towards PvP or PvE, sandbox or linear style games
His "professional" bio says: "After Verant"s acquisition by Sony Online Entertainment, Brad McQuaid served there as Vice President of Premium Games responsible for EverQuest, EverQuest 2, EverQuest Online Adventures, PlanetSide, and Star Wars: Galaxies. In addition, McQuaid was the company"s Chief Creative Officer."redjunkopera said:What game has he released since then?
I really can not understand you and UT"s stalker like attitude towards brad or anything he does in the futurte. I can only laugh and personally know everything the both of you post is complete bullshit. Once the NDA goes down you will both look like the complete dumbass stalker/pathetic people you are. Enjoy.Neric said:His "professional" bio says: "After Verant"s acquisition by Sony Online Entertainment, Brad McQuaid served there as Vice President of Premium Games responsible for EverQuest, EverQuest 2, EverQuest Online Adventures, PlanetSide, and Star Wars: Galaxies.

He obviously created Everquest, but once confronted with those other games, he usually inists on not having had any part of it. They either paid him for nothing or he did something, but doesn"t want to get reminded of it.
Your comment has overtones of, "But it"s only Beta!" How many times has that argument been shit on and dragged through the mutilated corpses of a thousand crippled and broken MMO dreams?Jooka said:I really can not understand you and UT"s stalker like attitude towards brad or anything he does in the futurte.
