Hi again.
I’ve got a new splashscreen thingy!

Here is a new video with blood effects. Gorey!

As always fraps has slowed it down but let me know what you think.
Here is a picture to show I am not totally un-artistic! I screwed up on the eyes but the rest of it is alright. Yes I know he’s copyright but this is the sort of style I would have wanted for Tutopia.

No one interested in helping? Oh well. I’ll keep updating this thread with news about the game.
I have now nearly finished making the first level model. I have NPCs to talk to and some magic effects. I have a trail effect on the sword and a HUD. I have made a trailer movie but I can’t upload it at the moment because my host is down at the moment. As soon as I can I will post some screens and a movie.
I have now completely modelled the first level and added health and mana potions to pick up. I’ve fixed a couple of bugs and optimised the AI code. Unfortunately I still can’t upload.
well I guess I’ll post cause no one else is. Haha. I’m kinda in the same boat as you Im also trying to create a game. But I dont know exactly how. what kind of a game are u desineing?
Also if you want to talk IM me at Rmagic16 if you got aim anytime.
I’m making a cartoony Hack+Slash RPG. I wanted to go for a Sudeki style but my lack of media skills made that impossible which is why I posted here in the hope of someone helping. Oh well. I’m attempting to get 1 level and a boss level done by the 7th June as I am entering it for a compo. After that, unless someone helps me with models, I’ll probably drop it and start a new project.
Ok, I’ve been watching this thread for a while and decided to post just because u seem rather determined. I’m teaching myself how to model and program. I’m very much a noob in C++ but was recently kicked out of school and have more time then i know what to do with so that wont be the case for very long. I’m very used to working in 3ds max 7 but I have no work to show as I’ve just reformated my computer. If you still want help I’ll do what i can for you but games need textures and that is my weak point. Add G_Cronos@hotmail.com if you want to talk about plans.
My two cents also would be to start picking up on C++ now. If you want to get into game development it’s what is being used by most companies.
Thanks. I’ll e-mail you. I know C++ is what I’m going to need but I can’t find anyway to start learning. I’m going to college in September so I may pickup a bit then and then I’m hoping to take a degree in game development at Portsmouth university so I’ll almost certainly learn some then! I went on work experience last July to Climax and learnt a lot but I still can’t find anything sort of graphical. All I learnt was text and stuff. Thanks again.
Andrew.
P.S. I would like to upload a new video and demo but my host still won’t allow me to upload.
All money made from the game will be split between team members equally. Unfortunately as this is our first money making project we can not offer money until the game makes money

hi, just wondering if tat thread is still alive or not… anyway couldn’t get to view any of ur files, just wanted to have an idea of what you’ve got so far.
Also, if maybe you updated your website a bit more, it’d tell people more on what you’re aiming for.
Lastly, i know how it hard it is to start a game project (makes me remember my assignments…heheh)
g/luck.
Well here are some screens:

I really want to give you a new video and a demo but as you noticed my old host is down and I don’t have anywhere to host the stuff. If anyone has any ideas where I could host stuff cheaply then please let me know. I know the website is rubbish. I made it literraly a year a go in an IT lesson! Someone is making me a new one as we speak. And yes the project is still very much alive.
Looks interesting, pics are small though. So when can we see it in action? 
For hosts, I made a post here awhile ago http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?t=49778

hi ya, this is just what i was looking for, i’m almost a c++ programmer but i can actually do models, levels and that stuff.
I have just added you in my contacts with yahoo messenger to talk about this.
i hope you let me join the group.
Hi I saw ur project and kind of interesting in that , if u need any help I’d be glad to help u guys. I also mailed u and sent few of my works to ur address andrewneale2004@yahoo.com
and elbsoftware@yahoo.co.uk but received no reply.
Those screenshots look very familiar, and so does the name, the forum too…I wonder why? I think it looks great. Characters graphics are simple and cartoony, which makes it gives it a nice effect, and does eat the frame rate like my background scene for Ronin. If you are going for a cartoony, personally I would see if Cel shading would look good, it worked on Zelda and that Alien game on TGC forums.
I noticed people were talking about C++ and using it, well there are SDK’s that are supposed to be easy to use, i don’t use C++ but I know of a good SDK for you, has a free water marked version and 2 other packages www.truevision3d.com if the link doesn’t exist, google it:)
moster4ever - yeah i saw an e-mail but i couldn’t open it and couldn’t find what your e-mail address was to let you know.
seppuku05 - thanks i’ll take a look. yeah cel shading does eat the fps and i can’t find a decent cel shader.
Yeah Cel shaders can be annoying to find a good one, I’d use Dark Basic’s Cartoon shader, but I’ve never used it before, so I don’t know the quality, the one that the Alien game on TGC looks like they got a good cel shader, maybe you could ask them:)
About Truevision 3D, I would wait for 6.5 to come out, because thats the new generation version, which looks from the Beta testing, pretty awesome.
Wahey!
I can finally give you this video!

Now I have hosting I’ll try and get a demo up very soon.
