Ok, need staff for the game...Starvision!

I'm making a new game called StarVision. I have posted some stuff already about it. I'll make this real clear and simple. I need to select some people to work with on this game. The # below show you what you would have to do. If you want to help please reply telling me the # of the thing that you want to do. Also leave all the info you have on how to contact online. Here are the avaible places:

1.) I need a graphics designer. Someone who is good at creating good looking objects in flash.

2.) I need another graphics designer.

3.) I need a programmer. I can do a lot of it but we need another 1 too.

4.) Support person. You will get the other stuff we need.

If someone is already taken the job you want please reply anyway. You may get the spot. Remember there are 2 places for graphics designer. Plz help. Thank you everyone!

Try not to get too excited with yourself over all this.
By the looks of your flash footer there, I can only imagine how awfull this (what is it, starvision?) will turn out to be.

That footer represents nothing. that ball is just a test for the movement. I see you dising a lot a peoples work. But wait where is your stuff. You probably don't even have flash. Why don't you show some stuff and prove that you can put people down. Untill then your disses mean nothing... Can't wait to see your work hehe.

I'm a good graphics designer so i will be the right person for this.

thank you
magnetos

hi
i would like to offer some help with action script, but im not too sure how much time i can offer at the moment (busy at work) but if you let me know what i can help with, or post here ill try to offer some advice/help/code/ideas. you know what i mean.

let me know if im any use to you, i understand if you need someone who can commit more time, thats no problem.

good luck guys

thanks
matthew

That is good site. You can be the other graphics designer. If you have a AIM please give me it. Mine is LawrenceRGroup.
Thanks for joining. The only spot left is for a programmer. However we will start designing the game and waiting for a programmer.

Thank you for the x-tra help McChickenNuggets.
Assignments:

BillyJay: If you could please create a space ship. Plz make it llllook very nice and futuristic. If you need more of a guide to make it plz ask. I want you to make it in your style.

magnetos: If you could please create a background for the game. We want it to be set in space with occasional planets floating by in the background. If you want to add some space junk that would be great.

Veljko: I would like you to make the Title screen for now. Like have Starvision at the top of the page. Then with the buttons of: Play, instructions, storyline, and credits. Put a little animation inot the page too.

If you guys have anymore questions just ask. Plz reply telling me if this ok. Thx for helping!

ooh, i just realised, what sort of game is this, im sure ive read your other post, possibly even contributed, but what sort of thing is going down here.


could you explain a little please, i dont even know what its gona be. you say you want billyjay to make a space ship, but what is this for, a side scroller, what? the reason i ask is that his designs should reflect the type of game we are talking about. if it is to be side scrolling the the detail level should be lower to ensure smooth running and so on. these details can have a dramatic effect on game speed. but im sure im telling you things you already knew. The other reason i ask is so i can suggest som tips to imporve speed.

thanks
matthew

I should explain this game. Sence my other designer I had quit it changed a little. But here is what the game is...

This game is going to be a mix of action and strategy. There is a main character(the ship). The movemnt of this ship will be by click on it and then click on an area on the screen. To shoot you will press space. This will be an overhead view of everything. You have to shoot enemie space ships. When your ship gets in the middle of the screen it will scroll(the background.) There will be warp holes to warp into other areas. You must collect certain objects to gain access to places. In this game you will be able to go backwards and shot while you are moving. Hmmm... If you have any other questions about the game plz ask. I hope I cleared things up a little. Thxs for asking.

hi
i dont want to sound like a pain in the ass, but i would question the use of the click and click again to move code. The reason i question this is that our site (the company i work for) http://www.dubit.co.uk used this style of movement in the intial testing stages. however it proved less popular than the current method of click and move. check the site out, although im biased, it is very good. (but a liitle slow due to a server change)

let me know what you think to this idea, i just feel it would enhance the game play

thanks
matthew

This should be a pretty large game and to increase the game play would be great. You are suggesting not to use the click and click again to move method right?

yep thats it, check out the site i mentioned, thats the sort of thing im talking about. its sweet

That would make the game a lot more effecient and fun. That is probably a better method so we will do it that way. Thanks for the tip.

no problem, and the code shouls be almost the same. i posted some stuff like that does that a while ago, but im sure you can modify your existing code, ayway, see ya, im tired and need some sleep

magnetos: If you could please create a background for the game. We want it to be set in space with occasional planets floating by in the background. If you want to add some space junk that would be great

you mean a dynamic background right?
but what is the perspective?
is like my game background?

please clarify

magnetos

i would like ot help, your game sounds kool.
i am an average actionscripter, average vector graphic designer in flash, and an imaginative person. so if there is a position left in your group of staff, i will fill it

If you still need another graphics designer, well, I'm not that good in it, but my friends say I am. Don't augh because I'm only 15 years old, but I would love 2 help you out

Do you have a logo for it, or would you like me to create one for you? I will then create complete visual identity of the game....


funny game is called starvision....i got registered http://www.starwarp.co.yu ...:) we can use it (or not). you choose...

I agree with OkieDokies, but I do think he's being a bit harsh. You can't be so prejudice.

Anyways I'd love to hlep you guys out with some programming and maybe a few graphics here and there. But get ICQ Maplethorpes. Not to much to ask if you want some decent programmers to help you. ^_^ . Also, Maplethorpes... The true term for title screen is a splash screen.

Hunt The Wumpus!
Somar

Well magnetos I will have the veiw be looking down at the main character. So I need a veiw looking down( from our veiw) looking at the stars. If you still do not understand I will make a smalle example. For the splash screen here is the link for the .fla to the title:

http://www.geocities.com/maplethorpes/symbol.fla

And for the others who want to help we have it under control so far but if I have an x-tra assignment I'll lay it out and let you do something with it. But thx for the thought.

I'm not sure why it is easier for some people to critize befor anything has been done then to wait and see anything. I hope you will change your veiw on this. Thx.

I know it may be coming slower because of school and all but slowly and surely we SHOULD get it done. Thanks for all the help.

http://digilander.iol.it/magneto1/svlogo.swf

let me know if this is what you mean

the logo thing is just an idea might be used for something else on the game

see ya
mmagnetos

please guys, i have seen this so many times, don't use the control button in your games. Us Mac people use the control button for another reason when in a flash movie
Use space bar or something

why not use your mouse click movement D&D game similar to balders gate, only simpler? your engine probably suits a top down, item collecting, "pause" type RPG. ive always wanted to do this- but lack the skills or the time.i am not a fan of D&D, but like the simpler versions protrayed in PC games.

neway, just a thought

"i can help by over reacting and crapping my pants over something that isn't even a start to the game."
-okiedokies
i can do some stuff cause i need something to do. school is starting up and im going to boarding chool so i might not be too active (only posting on weekends and odd study hours) but i would still like to help. (i will be active once i get a laptop:) cant wait)

Hi Maplethorpes,
I don't mean to brag, but I can do some serious actionscript, AND produce some serious graphics. I'm working on some hot arcade games at the moment AI, animation, design, engine etc. etc. The only thing I can't do is a soundtrack, and I've pretty much accepted that if I want it done properly, I'm going to have to pay for it.

I am curious, though, if you're looking for graphics and coding people, what exactly are YOU going to be doing? I'm not trying to piss on your parade, but it does sound like you've thought of an idea for a game (I'm sure it's great) and now all you need is someone to do all the hard work, coding, design etc. etc. etc.

One glimmer of of hope, here, is that you're an excellent sound producer/musician, as you haven't asked for someone to do this for you. I hope this is the case, as we may be able to exchange favours......

My skills are tradeable, if you have some....

I agree

Your in luck. I am pretty good at soundtracks:) Just tell me what you need and we can trade talent. magnetos can you plz post the .fla. For some reason my computer can't handel swf files online. However you could e-mail it to me at [email protected]. Thanks everyone.

That background is really cool! :) That logo is also really cool! :) 1 thing about the background...that astroid sitting there, could you make it like loat around the screen. That's really great! I'm not sure if the other people are working on what I asked them too so not to overwhelm you but do you think you could make the ship? If you do you have to make it looking from the top. I will give you further instuctions if you except. Thx!

You're creating a flash game but your PC can't handle flash movies online??

Sorry, you just have to laugh at the irony!

Good luck with the project.

hey there

as you can see i have a very vivid imagination but as i told yuo before i am not a programmer and i am strugling
with actionscript right now

(and the english language too)

i can create anything you like that concerns the artistic side of the game

but what i suggest you before you proceed any farther is this

use a simple even ugly background you can import the swf that i sent you and use the graphics (its not protected)

focus on the gaming various stages make it everyhing work
first and then i could fix the graphics to make it look nicer

see i am like a house painter i paint after the house is built not before

one other thing to consider is size (size does matter hi hi)
who is game aimed for?? 56kb user ? cable user? everybody? bush?

right now i am working on my own game which is already 125kb
and that for some people is huge!!

as for the ship i got one that i draw a while ago ill send you the fla


ahem .... you better fix that pc

ciao
