hey all, i have some AMAZING news from the company and the Divided, we just got MAJOR funds for the game, also our lead guy Chuck had a great meeting with a person who like to buy 50% of the company (which went downperfectly, he got it) oh i am so happy, also we got this AMAZING programmer that just blew us away, before we were thinking of buying an engine, but this guy will be making our engine, he just made a map editor, he is making all these 100% The Divided programs for the game, this guy will certianly get his fair share of money (he he he, eww)

Anyways, we REALLY need a texture guy now, our other dude MR. BROWN has vanished... lol i honeslt do not know where he is, so i have decided to go on the lookout again, we need some one, and more than 1 person who has very good expereince with texturing. We need this person so bad, cause our base model is done, but i wanna see what it looks like textured, so can use him on the site (or a her, myabe a her would be a better spokesperson) anyways yeah.

Can someone plz lend there skills to us, it won't go without reward (making a game is a big one) so thanks all, and evyerone who believed in us, it is now time to DEVLOPE the game... OH YEAH!

Again we are gearing towards 2006, so yeah, wish us luck!

quit lying, nobody would give a bunch of 13 year old kiddies who think they can make a game any type of "funding", all you have is a bunch of crappy concept art and an even more crappy layout.

"MR. BROWN" probably vanished because he found out you guys know nothing about making a game. Luckily I did my homework before not-deciding to join your developement "team". Of course after i decided not to join it you began to flame me like the 13 year old child you are.

And lets not forget about your "base" model that you sent to me to put a head on:

1. Do you have a company? Why dont you hire people instead of asking here? This is looking like a mod project to me.

2. What funds? Do you have a publisher or something?

3. Why would he buy the company if he hasnt seen anything? Does he know that you are recruiting people to freelance for you?

4. Why would you start off by making a map editor? You would have to create props (trees, bushes etc) and a lot of code BEFORE you can make a map editor.

5. Best of luck to you, Chuck, the programmer and? Ooops nobody else... hmmm... well good luck.

wow I was going to wish you luck but seems like Lee has seen through you, nice job lying about that guy buying 50% of your company, sounds like a lie I would pull :)

anyway, don't think you should be tióo hard on Jason, seems like a leader type to me...anyway, dave3d, just want to correct you on something

the game I'm working on (the link in my sig) also has a map editor, in fact the first thing the programmer did was to create it, there's even a picture of it in my thread if you don't believe me.

btw: that basemodel is a joke, you should only create one half and the mirror it, lol you do have a very talented team Mr Lavoie...I'm not gonna make fun of you, I'm not even sure you're lying but if you are serious, then stop trying to recruite people by asking us all the time, your recruitposts are ****ing everywhere, make a serious website, post some models, tell us about the company, put your ass into it or you will be laughed at

Jason-Lavoie

11-01-2004, 11:32 AM

**** YOU LEE, you do nto have the right to LIR like that, you ****ing faggot, I will get you banned from this forum.

You know what, you guys are idiots, Tournament Champions was bought by a Chucks father's friend, he bought 50% giving us a 20, 000 budget at the moment, the model, that?s just the id's, and i didn't mirror it, but added other things, AND LEE, what the **** is your problem, just because you quit and i told you off, you do NOT have the right to make fun of my, and the game, and the company, our programmer is making and engine, HE IS MAKING all the damn software, you people are ****ING idiots... why do i get bashed for this, you have no right at all.

Now this is prob going to get me kicked off the forums, well he used my image without asking as well... and he?s making it sound like a joke, which it isn't, and if you believe that dick head fine, your one yourself then.

I WAS LOOKING for a ****ing texture, and i get this ****, here is the FUCING team you dick heads

Me
Chuck
Jay
SPahgetti
Mr Brown
Dom
Geoman
Matt
Leox
Scott

There you go, that is our team, if you don'; t believe me fine, your a bunch of faggots anyways, and if anyone bans me from this forum, i understand, but you should band these guys as well, TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS is a REAL company, Chuck official made it that last summer, right now, we are getting findings, and in the future, going to ask ati for sponsorship for the game...

I can't believe you people have the balls to say that... you actually have NO right what so ever.

And if anyone wants to fight about it bring it, lee knows what i am talking about, kid couldn't take it last night so i guess he had to be all BIG and do this, your a Jackass kid...

can't believe you insult me, I don't judge people by what others say, I actually felt sympathy for you but damn did you just make a fool of yourself. I stand for what I say and I meant everything i wrote and you go on calling me a faggot, dickhead and idiot, you ignorant son of a bitch? sure I was somewhat biased by what Lee wrote but read below:

"anyway, don't think you should be tióo hard on Jason, seems like a leader type to me"

"the game I'm working on (the link in my sig) also has a map editor, in fact the first thing the programmer did was to create it, there's even a picture of it in my thread if you don't believe me."
(refering to the fact that you may not be lying)

"I'm not gonna make fun of you, I'm not even sure you're lying but if you are serious, then stop trying to recruite people by asking us all the time, your recruitposts are ****ing everywhere, make a serious website, post some models, tell us about the company, put your ass into it or you will be laughed at"

and yes, you deserve the last excerpt and a lot more, everywhere I check you are always trying to recruit people, are you that desperate? and YES that model is ****, accept it - **** you if that's your idea it's still ****!

once again check my sig, if you think I got the skills I'll do texturing/modeling for you but guess what, now that you have the $ I want to get paid.

I feel like slapping you, your insults towards me were uncalled for, I am expecting an apology so that I may forgive you

peace

Jason-Lavoie

11-01-2004, 01:15 PM

hmm, i don't want to start this up again, and no apolgy sry dude, but i was really refering all my angre to lee mostly... i guess i am sry towards you if you felt any pain or whatever, but its not a real sorry.

All of you think this is a joke, and i understand, but its not, so thats cool. Anyways yeah, you guys can agrue all you want, i am tired of this BS that i get, but thats life.

Anyways have fun, peace out

11-01-2004, 01:22 PM

Lol i have just read evyerthing everyone posted (even me) this is a joke... it really is... he he, ok sry for getting angre and all that shizzle.

And you feel like slapping me eh... hmm ok whatever gets you happy dude... lol some way though eh.

Basically i was looking for a texture guy, and a model guy, thats why i posted it here, since its texure and modeling forum basically... and i posted it in the game info thing or whatever, and clawda, plz d not call my modeling crap, it may not be amazing, but it shoudln't be anyways, its for an mmorpg... and by the looks of things, you need some practice too with your modeling in your game, its not AMAZING, but i guess you can fix that over time.

I belive the coreect thing to do is close this thread, and just forget about it, lee did what he did, you uys said what you said, so did i, in the end, its just dumb.

lee i know i prob hurt your feelings last night, but sending me gay porn was not the answer, even if you like looking at it yourself, your the one that wanted to leave, i understood that, but then making fun about it right after you said you left... thats not cool, but its over, everything is done, you can go on to another project... and yeah, have fun all.

Jason-Lavoie:

Okay im convinced. You may have a company. Why dont you create a professional website and create a professional application form? I should look like this:

Hello!

Im here to tell you about The Divided. The Divided is a mmorpgfps set in the future. Blablabla (I really dont know much, but instead of blablabla just write a brief description about the game). We are looking for a person that has experience in making textures. There is an application form <here> (that would be a [url] thing) where you can apply for the position. A more detailed description of the game and the company can be found on <this website>. (Thats also a [url] thing)

I'm 15 years old and I think that my presentation here is a lot more qualified then yours. Act like a company, not like some newbie mod team.

"Peace out"

Jason-Lavoie

11-01-2004, 01:50 PM

Ok i understand, but i am working on a new professioanl site, here is a screen of it. Thank you dave for not blowing up, i actually really appreciate that, except for the last bit, but i understand. This game is not a mod by the way, this is actually a game, mad from scratch.

This game is very hard to explain all of it, that is why i do not put a lot of info on it, because it would be around 20 pages of it, but thats why games have sites, and i know i hev been slow with it. but today i will finish it.

Again thanks dave fro not going crazy on me, means much more to me then probably you... here is the screen:

That website is really cool, I'd love to see it finished.

I might be interested in joining you. Im not talented at all in making textures etc, but im quite good at inorganic stuff such as map props (trees, rocks etc), weapons, vehicles. If you want to have further information about what i can to do help you, pm me. I also want additional information about the game.

11-01-2004, 01:57 PM

Ok ok, this is a colourful thread ;)

I like the way it seems to be going now with improved attitudes from those involved so we will keep it open and not ban anyone. Any more slander though from anyone and I will test out the new giant slapping wet fish we have had specially made.

11-01-2004, 02:08 PM

hey man ,the website is looking cool ,so sounds the game too ,i'll be happy to join u guys but i'm like dave, no inorganic(not talented in it) and i'm not an expert at texturing, but i'm getting better and better in vehicles and stuff :D

Jason-Lavoie

11-01-2004, 02:18 PM

Ha ha, wow... when i saw tom post i thought he was going to ban me, but thanks. All of you, i had to get that out of my system, and i am sry that it came out that way. Belive, thewhole team tries and were succeding, its baby steps. And i would not lie about this, thats to big of a lie, so no we are what we are. Were a game developing company (along with otehr things) who want to make a game, and to help people get into the gaming business, this is what i wanted to do all my life, and it just hurts to hear people say that basically we suck, but i understand.

Again, i am sry, i shoudl have like punched a pillow or somthing, and i am wokring on that model constantly to make it good enough. Now, on to Dave and joe, thanks guy, now you know why i have been working hard on a new site, has to be good before Chuck puts it on, just a face lift, kinda think its more professional. Oh and yes, i would like it if you guys joined, it may be a bit before we put stones and stuff on the map, since we are still looking for mappers, we have one but he is making a map right now, i tihnk he would like some help. Same with programming. but yeah, if you guys just give me your e-mail, your real names (if you want) and what you do, that would be great.

Thanks to you people for understanding... this was a big mishap and how it is behind. I guess i can make this thread an unofficial thread for the Divided, if the 3dt team doesn't mind, he he.

Thanks all!

Actually, the site is almost done, i have the gallery done (with new stuff thanks to Dave and Joe) and all i need now is official forums which my friend Leox will be setting up.

Right now whenver i see someone post somthing in this thread , i am afriad that it is going to be bad, but i really appreciate it that you poeple are starting to care, Chuck said all in good time, and i think that good time is starting now.

thanks all, i will keep you updated.

Oh and one last thing, our programmer is esitmating around 3000 players per server... so thats good!

Ha ha blackwolf, our budget has no room for buying a 350k engine... so yes, we are building from scratch. Thats why were in need of 2 more HIGHLY experienced programmers, but yeah it will work. Our whole team is so great, once we got through that hicup. And Dave and jope have been creating wonderful level designs, blows me away how good they are only after 3 months... good stuff Dave, you guys should see the site up eitehr today or tommorow.

Hey all, this is a very important team spot we need, but i will update you on the game. EVERYTING is coming along amazingly, the site has been made (but not fully working yet) our programmers have been working HARD on getting everything ready, and now it is, our Lead Programmer Polygon is working hard on the new engine, so i wish him the best of luck. Chuck and Tournament Champions INC. has made a BIG move into an actually store (company office/whatever else he wants) so thats GREAT news for Chuck and the team, and yeah.. here we go.

As the oringal topic of this post was texturing, we need someone with BIRLIANT texture designing abiblitys, we need mroe than one, but we really need one, the texture people will be the one that basically makes the look for The Divided. So if anyone could e-mail me at scooby_doo_jay@hotmail.com and show me some stuff, that would be great.

Again, we NEED some VERY expereinced texture people to help us out and complete the team that is The Divided.

THANKS!

He he, seems like this thread is a bit dead... hmm... what can i do to birghten this thread up, well i COULD show you some models... but i will leave that till later, how about a quick update.

Right now, Chuck (god this guy is VERY busy) is opening up Tournmanet Cmahpions to the public, own office everything, and were working hard on the Divided. The site is still in need os some repairs, but chuck has been working on the new TC company site... SOOOOO when i saw it, guess what... yes yes, i have made up my mind to RE design The Divided again, for the 3rd time.

I am one of those people when once i see somthing better, or somthing more interesting, i HAVE to have it, or make it, so yeah.

now i am thinking in the back of my head, maybe i could get some of you people to maybe draw a plan out for me... and the reward will be to let you beta test The Divided. BUT, the testing is no where near... so that kinda sucks. So far we have 300 people already signed for beta (thanks to chuck) and maybe if someone is interested, just ask.

Anyways yeah, so maybe the threedy community can help us with the new site, how about that, A NEW SITE, he he.

I am tempted to make a new thread, but i like this thread here, its kinda the home for The Divided, so i will stick here, but no one reads it now.

LOL, so maybe if some people can just post here and tell me if your reading it, and your interested, if not then i guess the thread is dead, and i need to actually get a forum for the game... he he.

ANYWAYS, yeah HELP US help you, with a better site :)

The winner will have a GARUNTEED spot in the beta testing all through the testing until the game releases, after that, we will grant you a free acount, and have 1 year free.

How about that, he he PEACE! (AND PLEASE HELP)

why is everyone so pissy

Anyways, how old is the rest of team. Like what's the average age?

It's not absurd to ask for people to come to work for you off the forums. Romero did it, with limited success. The way I've put made it too simplified, but something like that.

Ummm...I am learning texturing right now. I've gotten to the point where I am somewhat comfortable with my modeling capabilities. Now I feel that my texture work is laggy. So I am working on that at the moment.

Oh, and 20k is not very much at all. Romero got 15 mil to make 2 games. If you're all willing to work for free and live in an apartment (all of you) and live on top ramen till 2006 and then be ok with the possibiltiy that after the hardship you will have nothing to show for it then it might work out. I don't know, those sponsers are key. Could you give the list of people and their jobs.

And all that other stuff, i have no lcue what your tlkaing about, but you DO texture, so maybe if you want t help us with that (if your good enough) then by all means, he he. Show me some work and the team will decided.

i must say this sounds very interesting. but your models definatly arent up to scratch there too basic (spheres and cylinders) also i know they are early renders but the way you have the passage ways connecting to the domes on your Mars HQ rendersis illegal (not illegal as in ull get arrested i mean open edges it dosnt look like they have been welded to the dome when implemented into a game players will be able to get through these gaps if the get the right angle.

see the image below its not great as it only took a couple of minuets and its only a low res version, it is always best to keep models as a solid single mesh thats the way ive been taught 3d by professionals and quads are always best.

Jason-Lavoie

17-01-2004, 01:15 PM

Thanks for the help dude, i do not notice it... but its a small pic, i will look at the big one, and yes it is a VERY early render, the mapper made it in like 5 minutes.

I will tell him to fix that, he is also busy with exams and eveyrthing so i can't reach him at the moment, but yes, we will fix that.

And thanks for taking the time to show me dude (can't beliuve you did a model) lol thanks a lot, good help!

Ok well now were getting excited,our programmer is making the engine (and god it sounds good) but we still need 2 more programmers, 1 server one, and 1 sowftware one, if anyone is intersted, here is the application note, take a look and read:

The Divided

Hi there, we require two programmers and a few texture designers for our MMORPG game titled "The Divided".

The engine and client are currently being designed and implemented but while were working on this we need programmers to work on the other parts of the systems to speed up development time. The positions available at the moment are unpaid positions, but once we get our customer base up and subscriptions, that will change.

Engine Information:

The engine and client will be designed for the Win32 platform. Our 3D API will be Direct3D and our sound system will use OpenAL and OggVorbis as our sound format.

Worlds will consist of indoor and outdoor scenes. Our map algorithm is currently BSP however we may use something totally different for outdoor scenes if we have large terrains (ROAM, LOD?s, etc?).

We base our minimum requirements on a machine with 700 MHz of CPU Speed, 128mb of RAM and a 32MB Hardware Accelerated video card.

The engine will however sap as much out of the hardware as possible all the time. On a low-end machine you?ll get good/reasonable performance as the engine will prioritize performance and speed over eye-candy however, on a high-end system you?ll experience the very best of the engine and game goodness at all times.

The engine will be coded in pure C++ and may have ASM added at a later stage to give performance boosts.

We do have more info on the engine but it?s too much to display here. The above was just a run down.

Game Information:

The game is set on mars and has a timeline in the future. It revolves around character development, divisions that evolve, and much more.

The enemy in this MMORPG will be NPC?s in the form of an alien race (no name as of yet).

Players will use a client to login to the server to experience their game play. How many clients we will support has yet to be determined.

You can find more info on the game at http://www.the-divided.com

__________________________________________________ ________________________

That said the two programmers we require should be of intermediate to advanced level. In addition to the requirements you will also have to have knowledge of the Win32 platform. We do expect you to have samples of your work/previous projects. If you don?t you should still apply telling us why you do not.

Programmer Position #1 (Tools programmer):

Requirements: C/C++, OOP Design Methodologies and knowledge of Direct3D.

What your task will be: To design the model exporters for 3D Studio Max and to design
the level editing tools and compilers and any other tools we will
need.

Programmer Position #2 (Lead Server programmer):

Requirements: C/C++, OOP Design Methodologies, Networking (Winsock 2) and Database
Design, Knowledge of a scripting language such as LUA

What your task will be: To design the server for the game clients to connect to and to design
and implement a database system for storing world data.

If you want to apply as a texture designer we expect you to have a big imagination and flare for creating great textures as well as samples of your previous work.

__________________________________________________ ________________________

i've been reading you for a while, just lemme tell you that you are set on a good path, but you lack experience, i thin you should investigate a little more on the business, the pipeline following the creation of a game, and the mainteinance you got to keep doing (specially a mmorpg) be sure got the resources both fisical and human, and for what i've seen you lack all these, don't get me wrong, am not atacking you, it's just constructive critic intended to help you see what you could improve

on other hand, i think you are a bit wrong trying to recruit people on this forum, i think there are other good places to get people to do it, as www.gamasutra.com (http://www.gamasutra.com) there you can find enough resources, people and many things that can help you, even the experience of other producers in the industry, because this, as you are starting to notice, is a rabid, risky and ferocious business...

HA HA eternal, I BEAT YA, we have posted a very pro app there at that site, and so far we have 2 repsonses... all pro progammers.

And i know, i am not good with words and all, if our lead guy was tlkaing you prob be more impressed with the game, but god, he is REALLY busy handling everything. We have all our resources, everything is ready.

I am just helping him alot trying to recruit people here, and i have basically only recruited people from here that can texture (still no luck) and model and draw... i think thats it (mayb programming too)

Yeah i am 15, what do you expect. lol, thanks eternal!

My goal of making this game is juts to get some really good modeling skills from this, see how a game works, and expereince. How many 15 tear old kids can say they have a (hopfully succesful) mmorpg under there belt, lead modelier and help with the overall product of a game, he he he, not many i do not think. So yeah, and everything we have si bought, so no worries, lol!

Anyways, great news guys, we just got a very good concept artist to draw for us, so thanks to him, we also have someone else who is interested in programming and modeling (which is great) so i hope i hear back from him soon. The engine is coming along perfectly, our lead programmer Polygon has just finished (for the most part) all the pixel and shading and all that hopla which is great because now we know that we can get some great effects in there without any of you guys (players) getting lag, so good stuff. Our Divided community is getting ready, so i will tell you when we have it up and running (thats gonna be great for us)

I will be gone for 3 days to go see LINKIN PARK (HAZAA) along with hoobastank, POD and another band, so don't miss me to much, and then SIGH exams... god i hate exams!

Thanks for all your support people, you rock \m/:D \m/

I'm really not posting this to put you down, I wish you the best of luck even though things look mighty grim. But I've been on your site, in the render section, looking at your models... how can I put this... they need work, especially the hand gun, that's some scary stuff man. And the factorys, they are just spheres which your extruded the faces inwards, and some cylinders. Anyhow, best of luck, but keep working on your modeling, it's really not up to par for a game yet.

Back in my younger days I worked a couple of game projects like this -- with promises of rewards reaped when the final product was complete and shipped out, or even worse, the dreaded promise of "credit for your work". Whooooo.

The problem comes when you are dealing with people who also gotta worry about where their next rent check is coming from at the same time. How many people are going to come home from a 40-50 hour work week and then want to sit down at the computer every day in order to meet a publishing time frame? Not many, and those who do won't do so for more than four or five months, with long periods of inactivity in between.

Also, these kinds of projects are often delayed endlessly when unpaid staff members either drop out or fade away. Moreover, a volunteer project often means you're getting sub-par talent. Meanwhile, the game technology gets older and rustier as time goes by, and if the final product actually sees the light of day, it looks pretty stale compared to professionally produced titles.

Royalties? Highly unlikely. A check for forty bucks, maybe.

My advice: avoid. If you're looking to do something meaningful for your career, go find yourself some mod tools for a game like Max Payne, Neverwinter Nights, or Half-Life and create something yourself to show off to someone who will pay you what you're worth.

HEY all, i am back, sry for the LONG delay (anyone notice) i had the linkin park concert, then the exams, then changed phone number, but now i am back. Thanks for you posts, i like how people sorda "tell" me what will happen, and in the end they may be right, but its a challenge to me and my friends that are working on the project, you say it can't be done, i say it can, and will be done. You people are expecting an amazing game, 9/10 it won't be, but in the end you know that we put good time and heart into it, and its not bad for a 15 year olds resume, and for mods, no man, i REALLy hat mods.... lol i like knowing that everything i do and my friends do are oroginal, not just using somr other model and what not.

And about that 40 - 50 hours? wha, Chuck owns this company, that shis job, he gets paid, and its done :)

Anyways thanks, i will take this and make it a challenge, in the end you may win, or I may win, either way i get something out of this, meeting some great talented people, getting experience at the career i want to do, and to know that i am having fun doing it, thanks all!

Hey Jason. Cool that you have a dream to become a game designer. I was in a game dev learning team online. The plan of attack was all 'c/c++ prgrammers that wanted to form a group to learn to 'develop games', would meet on a chat filesharing client and help each other learn gameprogramming, and hopefully make a simple game. Everyone jumped at the idea. So we set up everything, from the client channel to an information website. It was very exciting. At first, the group consist of around 27 people. We all hung out *online* for a day and got to know each others' personality and skill level better. When we discussed the the first game we were persueing, "all hell broke lose". The first game we decided to make was a 'pong' clone. Experienced programmers can write this in about an hour or two, but newbies need to learn from the bottom up. about5 ppl in disagreement said "screw pong" and left. When voting was cast for which api would be preferable, all hell broke lose again!. The winning result was DirectX , but some wanted to learn openGL and just disappeared without word. we're down to about 12 now...one wanted us to use GDI but the votong was final so it was thrown out.*11*.3 weeks have passed and finally order was restored and coding and learning started. Unfortunately, some ppl didn't know c++ at all... *not even hello world*. They stopped coming after a while. We're down to 7. One is in the us army so he can't help much. *6*. One got sick and discontinued studying. *5*. Now the guy that hosted the information site got mad and trashed it because of 'lack of order'. So no more info site for us. He was the best coder. *4*. It's been a month and pong is coming along. The base code, paddles and ball velocoties down. *exept for colision detection.* One member said he's tired of pong and quit. * 3*. Now it's just the "founder", a "better programmer than me" and "me". We decided from all the negativity of this to discontinue the making of a pong and start with a fresh idea of our own. "Currently, this new very simple game is about 75% done and moving slowly to 100%. Our furum "which was VERY helpful" mysteriously went down in the passed month. But we're still moving forward slowly but surely.

Moral : *and I'm sure you heard this a million times*. Never give up your dream!.

What I think of your plan : It's very hard if you start from scratch. Even if you have an experience programmer. Even if it's intended to be a simple game. This will take alot of planning, thinking, experience, headaches, heartbreaks and ALOT of time. Keep your head up and keep striving for the best. Good luck :verts:

Jason-Lavoie

05-02-2004, 01:06 AM

Ha ha thanks Jepmaster, thats what i wanted to hear, and yes, me and programmer, i do not like. I know PHP and Java and VBasic programming, and prob c++ next year, he he but yeah, thats cool, it shows that you and your friend are commited, and i like that, keep up the good work.

For us right now, its slow, me and the programmer basically meet each night and discuss whats the plan at that moment, Chuck (our main man) has been working NON STOP to get the official Tournament Champions office up, and it looks great so far. So we predict that after about 2 weeks i think... we will TRULY start on the project, we are getting a new team basically, and yeah, its been going great.

OHHH, and here is (what i hope) is basically the finished models for the game, the race is Human, i hope that we will have one or 2 more races you can choose from, right now i have one in the works, big ugly brutes that focus on heavy armor and guns, see if i can post some early stuff tonight!

Ok just a small update:

The new race i am mkaing is omcing along great, it of course is going to be an alien (don't know the name_ i call it a.k.a Ti'walk just cause it sounds cool. Anyways so yeah, this race will ne a big race, but a friendly race. There huge as in tall, fat, and muscular, they have some great technologies that they can bring to help the humans, or destroy them, all depends on the story.

They basically have long arms, kinda sluggish, and big face, and maybe like a hump on the back kinda thing, i am not sure.

SO yeah, working on that right now, again if anyone wants to help us TEXTURE, ask us, because we will want you.

Oh some things that were looking for (by the by, after Chuck gets in his new office for TC, we are going over the team, and making a new one, i will suggest to him if some people can get paid, since this is a huge project... we need some pro people)

So yeah, if someone can get like an "adult" cartooney look going, the best example i guess is WoW (www.blizzard.com/wow) its nice and clean, fun to look at, but art at the same time.

So if we can get some texture people to do that, THEN HAZAA, if not, we will find them... he he

Have a good day today people!

hmmm Jason what i dont get at all the time reading this thread is what game type "TheDivided" will be sry....shooter ? strategy ? Onlinegaming ? Fallout Clone ? ( :D just joking )

and second i have to say that you shouldnt pay your ConzeptDesigner cause the Conzepts look like something drawn in 10 mins during the biology lesson in shool ;) Dont ment personal but some mayor anatomy knwoledge would be very useful .......

if you want (and if i find some spare time) i redraw the "Sniper" from your Conzept Sektion.......

But i think you and your team are making some progress. Maybe you schould add some more details on the Models.

keep on with the game ;)

Jason-Lavoie

07-02-2004, 01:50 AM

He he, hey Corky whats up dude, yeah those concepts were done by me and a friend (chuck as well) there just outlines a bit, RIGHT NOW though, we have a project that will help us A LOT in the art division, but i am not saying anything yet. Mmore detail, yes, but remember, textures make the grpahics, thats why we NEED some pro texture guys/girls...

So yeah, i am also re working the site, for about a month now, won't be shown until we get some textures on our models, so your gonna have to look at that site for now, sry :(

Anyways here is an update, before i called it like a Tiwalk or somthing, its actually Tikaw (just a code name i named it) i haven't finished the head, cause i still need to design it, think of one, i have a good one, like a creture with some big lips or somthing... anyways here it is (the body) :

If you want more shots to help me out in modeling it, then i would appreciate it, and for the male and female models, cause i would REALLY like to get some help on these... more detail, i will work on once we get our texture people, but I will, he he!

^^ looks funny ^^
And the idea sounds intresting. Like "I send the 10 Infantrie junits to destroy the enemys Tankfabric. But uh no the guarding units have stelth mode applied to them and my units arent possible to hit them with their weapons. So fast "ego-perspectivated" in a infrared Sniper Soldier. up a hill and then shoot the bad-as*es"

^^

Should i draw a little Sniper Conzept...Yes or no ?

Jason-Lavoie

07-02-2004, 02:07 AM

Ha ha Corky you have the idea dude, we want it so its Team Based basically... so everyone can have fun... now the draw back is for some, is it just guns and all... like what about the aleins that are trying to take over your base, they have... nothing...

WRONG

Ha ha i promise you people, this game will be fun, and hard... here is a little timbit i guess, the programmer a.k.a. Magic Man (i call him that) is going to have it so the aliens will come and envade a Base, there main objective is to take say a power sorce, so that base will become offline... but they will have to get through us, the soliders...

Oh and also, we want it so we can schedule BIG fights say everyday twice a day, i mean BIG, lag will be a probelm with this, but its cool, we will fix it...

I also want to introduce some "abilitys" to the game, say those Tiwak has the ability to regenerate health, or can see stealth figures... or has the ability to control a unit for an amount of time. Humans will also have some ability's... but yeah, this game will be fun and interesting, hopfully people will like it.

And if you do not like the "shooting" thing, no prob, you want to become a bio medic, take some training courses, help the wounded, or say you want to build bases, guard seats... or fix things, well the engineer is your kinda guy, or maybe you want to become a merchant, maybe become the head honcho in the "black market" well, you have that choice as well.

there is also oth "jobs" you can have, some we discussed about is "police men/women" , or bounty hunters, or pilots... generals, it goes on forever.

There is also a skill "tree'" we want it so no 2 people can be alike basically...

So yeah, if you wnat some more info, just ask, and i will try to help :)

Nad its only 888 POLYS!

How many polys ?
And how many polys can your Gameengine stand ? cause i think a little bit more 3dDetail would be fine

(edit) bahh sorry dont recognize that you have already posted the polycount (/edit)

Hey this model is awsome, our grpahics engine can handle anything we want, cause its The Divided engine, we are building it from scratch dude, he he.

nad yes, its AMAZING, lol... and plus less polys = less lag = good fun for everyone, ha ha.

once we get a texture guy to work with it, it will be fine dude... JEEZE!

Wheres the pic? he he

Jason-Lavoie

08-02-2004, 05:18 AM

He he corky of course dude, say you have money only to buy one glove, so you buy that glove and equip it, it will show your new glove on one hand, your other glove on the other hand... new armor, new helmets, new shoulder pads... and blah balh.. all that :)

Corky13

08-02-2004, 08:22 AM

hmmmm this reminds me all on
Morrowind meets Fallout meets Planetside ^^
but i suggest that you pull your polycount at least up to 1000 for more details ^^ . I dont think it influence the game that much...

Jason-Lavoie

08-02-2004, 08:25 AM

Once we get the base stuff done, then yeah dude, i still have to see how much our engine can handle dude, but yeah, MORE DETAIl of course :)

08-02-2004, 05:09 PM

Jason, it is going to be very hard animating those models. You need more poly's around the joints. (knees, elbows, shoulders, etc) Or else you will get stretching and stuff when it textured.

I'd say go get a 12 pack and get drunk, but your underage... must suck

I never really see the point in drinking, honestly.. i have enough fun just be sober... i think drinking and smoking is just retarded... anyways back to the divided.

Tell me what you think so far, if you have any ideas tell me, we want you to have THE BEST time of your life :)

That's ok, if you don't see the point in having a few drinks with your buddys, I think your retarded too :roll:

Idea=
make something like a "Spray-on-Logo" like in CounterStrike so each charakter in the game can make or choose his own Logo ^^

OK vehicals thats a big yes
but that would prob be in an expansion, because were planning on having Space battles as well. thats why one of the jobs you can choose from is a pilote.. eww!

And houses, well yes, along that matter, you will have living corridors, and people MAY be able to have the ability to create base camps.

ALSO i want to see if we can make it so that if people want to make there own colonies, they can... so they can make there own city... there is pluses and minues to that. Plus you have your own damn colony, how cool is that, down side... aliens will attack you, so you will need defense at all times.

Any other suggestions, becuase i like hearing from you people :)

10-02-2004, 09:34 AM

Ha ha Corky that will oprib happen, if someone wants to make a colony... colonies = guilds basically, but have the ability to make there own base camps, cities :)

Jason-Lavoie

12-02-2004, 09:37 AM

Lol... wow that was helpful wasn't it... well suggest idea's like i said before, what would you like to SEE in this game... jeeze dude...

Daniel

13-02-2004, 11:15 AM

ok then... after all this time, I would actually like to see an in game render of that engine you've been raving about :D :p Or how about an actual environment?

Jason-Lavoie

13-02-2004, 01:22 PM

we started this project 3 months ago, the egine is till in the making... and so are the levels, jeeze dude. Its like i am getting punished for asking how you want to make this game better... which i should not get any complications, god!

Just say what you want in the game, and i will tell you if it can be done or not, or if were thinking about ect... none of this anymore DanielB, i am trying to get some help with the game, not get crit. just for your own sake.

I would really like to model for u.... and of course for free......

Jason-Lavoie

14-02-2004, 09:56 AM

Sure dolle, we will talk (do you have msn, my e-mail is scooby_doo_jay@hotmail.com)

If we don't choose you i am sorry, but now we are looking for a very expereinced team.... but if your good dude, then by all means you can join, if you can show me some stuff (recent please) then i will show the project manager (Charles Patten) and we will decide, the longest we will put you on hold for is a week, but i doubt we will take that long.

So yeah, show me some things, and we can talk.

Thanks!

hey jason, how've you been? I know how hard it is to actually make a game so no pressure there, but after 3 months I (as a graphics artist) had something to show...actually, I had something to show after a week...now as I said, I know it's hard and you do have a larger team in your project compared to me and my friends but the artists must have done something right? I agree with DanielB, you've talked about the game so much and said such good things about it, so how about showing something? I don't doubt you or anything, I just want to see how it'll look out of mere curiousity...anyway, keep working, you're doing a great job

Jason-Lavoie

15-02-2004, 02:02 AM

Hey clawda, whats up dude, i haven't tlkaed to you for along time.

Sigh, i know we basiclly have ntohing to show you, right now production has come to a hlat, just ebcause Chuck is setting up the Tournament Champions office, he will be done in March. I know that i have been saying all this great stuff, its true, don't get me wrong, but i understand why your doubting me a bit, cause i have nothing to show, and i am sorry for that.

Right at the moment, we have recruited a Comic maker, he is doing the offical The Divided comic, and he will be doing the concept art (from what i have heard) so that should add some proffesioanlity to this project.

Aslo i have not tlkaed ot the programmers for SO long, i wonder if they left to go somewhere... that would really suck since we had such a good start on the engine.

After Chuck is done, we will be rebuilding the team, we may possible pay people now since this is such a big project, its very slim you will find a pro doing things for free... so i think it has come to that.

Anyways yeah, i am sorry i have nothing to show (you can look at the models... lol) but i think i may be chnaigng them aroudn a bit, me and Chuck and the team need tot lka first, how we want it to look feel and what not...

Anyways yeah clawda, cnie talkig to you man, OH and how s the game going, it looked fun actually, lol.

Peace!
