The Greatest Game System ALL READ!!

[Adeli]

Keep in mind some people (creationists) do find the very idea of evolution highly offensive. So expect some arguments about it at some stage. I for one don\'t care.

I\'m not sure that this game would be possible, but have fun trying.
Think about it, there are countless possibilities if your actions truly dictate your evolutionary path. You have so much work ahead of you, if you seriously want to pull this off. Good luck, you\'ll need it.

That was a sudden change in thoughts Annah.

[Nikolia]

Ok, I don\'t know who could be offended at the thought
of fantasy non existent creatures evolving into some more
fantasy creatures could offend some body. The thought to me is absolutely
Ludicrous. As for having so much work ahead, I know and understand
How the game will work it is after all my idea, it is not the
concept of how hard it will be to make. It is how you are
going to make it and from the judgement of your text your
mind is in the incorrect place, as for Annah\'s change in mind
I think this is because of multi prospects on the game matter
you cannot always look at things from one single side, this
can results in ignorants for example

BOB: Hello, I am new at this game.
Jane: Omg, you are a noob.
BOB: Yes, I am rather new. If you have the time could you please teach me some things?
Jane: LOL no way you are a noob I bet you dont even know
how to push the start button
BOB: start button? do you mean Gnome button, I am on linux.
Jane: No you NOOB it\'s not called the \"Gnome\" button it\'s called
The START button Geee you are a stupid Noob, go read a book.

sorry about much strange post, I dont mean to offend you
If this is what I am doing, however it is 5:41 am and I am
rather tired so I am going to sleep now.

Nice annah, that engine sounds taylor made for this sort of game, with realistic water, coulds, grass and trees... but i would agree with moogie, that this should be OSs free. a good free game will have mush more support from the community (look at planeshift). of course, I would like more information about ankh\'s dev team and the engine before i could develop a final opinion. do you have a website we could get more info from? Also, you couldnt steal his idea, as it is his intellectual property, and we all know who had the idea first.

[Moogie]

Ankh isn\'t a real company yet, and they don\'t have a website or any available information. (I know, I kinda joined them a while ago before I knew anything about them )

The only reason Annah has suddenly changed views is because he sees an opportunity to cash in on someone else\'s great idea. His small team of 10-15 people, alot of which are under 18, are already working on developing 2 completely different games. Of course, taking on yet another one is being greedy, especially since there\'s not enough manpower to develop that much stuff at the same time. That is why I strongly urge you to keep this your own creation, Nikolia. Don\'t give it away to anyone- let people work for you.

[Annah]

What a harsh judgement
 1st of all, I am not stealing his ideas to make some extra cash, I said it before that the game will be free and he\'ll be the project leader. The simple fact why it will be develped under Ankh\'s autority is that it\'s the only way the engine can be used for the game. Unless he wants to buy it You see?
 Also, the team is not small and it has 27 active members, and I am not the only director. Never doubt of what we can do
 And yes, the web site is under construction after we\'ve decided to rebuild the old one, and yes, there\'s no available information for the public yet.

 

Ankh isn\'t a real company yet

 True also. This week it will start to be registered, and contracts being made.

 Ok, this is all, just know that I wanted to make his dreams become a reality, I don\'t want to steal or use them.

 * EDIT *

 

alot of which are under 18

 Actually, only 7 of the members. Talent isn\'t influenced by age you know. And we already thought to make special contracts, that can be made for them (with the help of their parents), because they\'re all over 16.

 May I ask, now why being so negativist?

[Nikolia]

Ok.. just another thing. Free?
yes, the game will be free if I can find some people willing
to help work on it, I might even use a different engine and make
It Open source if thats the case.

However some things you need to understand all though
I belive in the linux ethics and the information sharing.
It wont put money on the table, so if ever the game does
cost money it will be after it is established, has a name and
alot of people play it, I have already started work on the game.

So I dont want people telling me what the game should and
should not be if you are not going to help me make it. Thank you.

[Adeli]

Nikolia, your example had no relevance to the given topic. If this were in person not online, this is where I would tell you to \"think, then speak\".

That was pretty harsh moogie. Ankh may be the only way it\'ll ever get realised. This kid thinks that if he wants it badly, no matter how difficult, it will happen.
That\'s a very naive approach. Annah seems to be his only chance.

[dfryer]

You *have* to want it badly enough in order for anything to happen, but you also need great communication skills in order to direct/lead/design a game effectively.  I think that one thing that attracts me to the PS project is that it has attracted some artists, which are quite the novelty in the programming world.  

In order to develop this game in collaboration with anyone, open source or not, you need a very clear vision of how you want gameplay to be, and a good idea of the resources you\'ll need to make it happen.

[Moogie]

Adeli: Perhaps. I\'m not saying letting Ankh develop it would be a bad idea, it\'s just who came to offer their services that worries me... if you\'ve ever known Annah here, you will probably have the same opinion. I just want Nikolia to have a fighting chance at getting his idea realised, and for that, he may need someone with a slightly better track-record with these things.

Just speaking my mind, not intended to flame or insult (although it may of course look that way)- I just can\'t have any different opinion based on what I know about him from this community. And I\'m not pushing my opinion, either. The course of this affects me too, if Ankh were to actually take it on.

[Adeli]

Fair enough Moogie, and no, I don\'t know Annah very well.
Dfryer, he doesn\'t seem to understand the resources he will need, that\'s my point.

[Annah]

... it\'s just who came to offer their services that worries me... if you\'ve ever known Annah here, you will probably have the same opinion. I just want Nikolia to have a fighting chance at getting his idea realised, and for that, he may need someone with a slightly better track-record with these things.

 Oh princess. You still don\'t get it aye? Yes, Adeli doesn\'t know me, but same as you. You only know a character, you only know \"Annah\" from these boards, but you have no idea about the \"Antonio\" that\'s working at Ankh. You know, these are 2 different lives. The PS one, and the real one.

 You come to a game to create a new life, different from the real one. How can you judge someone from what you know in a \"virtual life\" if I might say like this?

 And maybe I did a lot of mistakes in the past in here, but I always tried to correct them. We live to learn right?

 

I just can\'t have any different opinion based on what I know about him from this community.

 True. But why not giving me the chance to prove you that you\'re wrong? Why not trying to really know me? Why not trying to know me outsite this community? That is what I don\'t get it ...
