guys, nobody has seen a lot of activity here, and the place generally seems pretty empty. i never expected much progression and activity in the early days to begin with, but with the lack of communication it would be awesome to see who is still here!
please comment if you are available to do a task!
The big plan is just starting, but we need a way to test how organized we are and how capable any future devs are.
Please post your ideas for a 16 bit game here. Something adventurous and simple to start us off.
One cool idea:
It's set in the Firefly universe, but instead of human characters you have Captain Meow Reynolds and his intrepid band of cats. In between extensive napping and discussions that disprove the existence of a feline god, they solve mysteries that baffle the police. There are no rewards for doing this, merely a sense of accomplishment. The minigame will obviously involve meme creation.
We have a basic story going. It seems like the story will take place in a home or a laboratory. You can read about the story development here
This should be enough for mappers to start their work, and 3D modelers to start theirs' as well.
So, What do we need right now?
More contributors to the storyline
Map makers to start work with the information and ideas available
3D Modelers to make DOT, and other characters/items
Artists to produce some nice cover art and concept art.
Musicians to start developing a background soundtrack that fits the general mood of the game. Remember
The admins think so too! Read this automated message :P

I've got a lot of studying that has come up that I need to work on, so I won't be able to continue to lead this project. Life has been busy.
I'm more than happy to give powers to a new project leader if they are interested, and I hope all of you continue to work together in the Reddit-Hive-Mind way.
Good Luck,

Hi, as you may or may not know I was contacted a few days ago and asked to help with the writing. As it turns out I'm starting to get stretched a little too thin between diffrent projects, so I'm having a hard time keeping up with everything. I have read a lot of what you guys have written, but simply havn't had the time to read everything or write my own thoughts on it.
If there is interest, I think it would be a good idea to have a skype (or any other similar program) chat at some point when most people are available, that way we can swap thoughts and ideas a little more efficently.
So yeah, I guess that's pretty much all I wanted to say. I just havn't really been able to put in the time
hey there!
as a guy who previously tried this, and after getting a group together of EAUK forums we failed after a year. so i thought, here are some key things i learnt from that experience so you guys dont make the same mistakes!
Don't think too big, try to do something you can achieve. this means start with the basics, get some game ready assets in engine as quickly as possible. then work from there
coding/programmers. these dudes are super important, we didn't have anyone to do this. if you have a ton of ideas but no one that can get them in engine, its useless. make sure you have people that know what they're doing
alot of members are likely to drop ou
We need devs. Badly. If you want to help with the coding, art, modeling, music, etc. make your offers of assistance here!
I want to get reddit together to make the game they want to play; a game developed by the users of reddit for the users of reddit. An open source and free game for everyone and anyone.
So here's the deal:
We need ideas. What do you want to see in the game?
And if you are a developer, can you help in any way?
Artists, you guys are great, if you can do any concept art for what you would want to play, it would help tons in visualizing what the game might look like.
Thanks All!
We need to hammer out a well written prologue to the game. Some necessary reading to play out before the game begins. It will be subject to change, but its important to get this ground work in progress so everyone can have an idea for where we are taking this game. In the end, we are building the foundation for this and everyone is depending on what we, as crafts people, can lay out for the rest to work out.
In light of out storyline development , it looks like the majority of people have voted for a 3D game.
Concept artists, please do your magic we are counting on you for the look and feel of the game.
Let's start brainstorming the first level which is set in a workshop room in Dr Gibson's house. The idea for the beginning so far is that DOT can only see outlines of shapes that it has recognized. Perhaps we start off seeing wireframes which accumulate more detail as the player studies the object. The room has a big desk with a computer, a big workbench, tools, lots of electronic bits and pieces laying around, wires etc... But those only start appearing as DOT finishes studying the object
Ok so I've gone through everyone's story contributions and I've pieced together a storyline that is simple and confined enough that it hopefully doesn't create a big workload. Please share your ideas on this and let us know if it still feels too ambitious, and if it feels interesting enough (this isn't shaping out to be a shooting/fighting game so if you guys aren't happy with this direction please provide some story elements which can both satisfy you and create a doable workload for the devs).
(Help me come up with an acronym for DOT. Digital Organic .. something.. lol)
DOT is a robot. It is Dr Gibson’s personal artificial intelligence project to enhance the quality of A.I. and repl
You are a robot who was created before the great expansion, an event in human history that made the ability to live off earth possible. You awaken in Finland, in the basement of a house in a fairly large, but seemingly abandoned city. You will find a small transmitter that seems to tell you to go to the east(right), this being the only lead, and you knowing nothing of your past, you choose to follow it to find clues. When you first exit the building, you find very quickly that new species of creatures are fighting for control of the planet, as a result of abandonment of genetic experiments. These creatures can be civilized or wild, but all are far from intelligent. What little amount of huma
I've enabled a prototype of the map maker at www.communitydeveloped.com
There are a few quirks:
No save button yet, everything is autosaved every 15 seconds.
More than 1 person working on the map at the same time would create issues
Next Steps:
Be sure to check it out and let me know what you think.
