Amstaad general discussion (almost there!)

[Amstaad]

To be frank, the mechanics will not be finished by DeathNote. If this is to finally get done, we need to figure out a new way to accomplish it.

[inspiratieloos]

Add CD/T-Bone/Bub/quadz/me to the team for mechanics?

T-Bone and me already have access to the account anyway.

[quadz08]

Don't include me in that party haha.

I am not capable of the mechanic-things.

[inspiratieloos]

I just put down the people that have posted most.

[Amstaad]

Done.

If this account is abused, I will have to change the password which would suck as this was given to help moderate this game. I hope everyone will be ok with sharing some responsibility.

So.... whats next people? Lets make a goal. How about we establish the Gold/Skill system by next Saturday (not tomorrow)? Sound reasonable?

[CooLDoG]

Sounds reasonable to me.

[Bub Bidderskins]

I think this deadline is a great idea. If we keep working this way, then we can get Amstaad running soon. After we get the gold/phase system done, we should try to finish the combat system by the next Saturday and magic the Saturday after that. In the meantime, DN can make up a list of items in the game. Don't worry about how they'll fit in with gold, combat, and magic. What we need is a comprehensive list of all the items that are in the game, and then we can work to implement them.

[Bub Bidderskins]

Oh, and the armour and combat threads need to be merged.

[DeathNote]

Ok Magic system go!!!

I think I was working on religion for the old Amstaad. Do you still need any help with it?

[DeathNote]

Before I answer, I have a question.

Are you wanting to be a player or a moderator?

[rolandofthewhite]

Neither, especially. I think last time I wasn't so much a moderator as a "designer" or what have you. Not really interested in running the game, but I like the building process.

[DeathNote]

well everyone is helping in the designer part right now so feel free to jump in. If you want to work with religion especially, then I need you to talk to me outside of these threads as some of it borders in flavor which is not revealed to players.

[rolandofthewhite]

Surely. Sent you my e-mail address.

[Yaw]

Roly! How've you been? What're you up to?

[rolandofthewhite]

I'm pretty okay. Bouncing, blinking—the usual. And yourself?

P.S. I hardly recognized you without your abstract crocodile or whatever it was.

[Yaw]

You can thank/blame CDB for the change. There was a thing some time ago where they were assigning scummers pokemon. (Never watched or played the thing, but fun little meme they had going.) Should probably change it, but eh.

Doing fine. On break, so flitting around Nairobi trying to find stuff for the new place.

(And I meant what's happening with you in meatworld. I know how the bouncy tomato is doing, silly.)

[Maestro]

Is this thread/forum dead...? I'm confused but would like to help with this if there's interest.

[DeathNote]

Dead? Yes.... Extinct? Probably not. It just needs the proper leadership and people to commit to it. I feel that as time goes on, more and more people will take on Amstaad and push it farther and farther.

The only thing that worries me is player commitment. I feel that many of the quests and storyline adventures of this will be hurt by flaking players. Of course... a flaking mod doesn't help.

[inspiratieloos]

Someone other than me/T-Bone responding to the magic thread, might get something moving again.

[Kcdaspot]

im still watching this but it looks like you guys are going too complex with it.

[T-Bone]

Crazy idea. Let's forget inventing a new game.

Instead, take an existing system that is structured (IE not DnD), that has quite a bit of source material and lore, and do it that way. Maybe some source material that people know well. I'd honestly recommend Star Wars Saga. Because of the expanded universe, the Mods could still invent their own storyline and setting within the universe, without having to worry about mechanics and complicated lore too much.

Pathfinder wouldn't be so terrible either if we tap into the lore, but it is close to DnD in it's openess.

[inspiratieloos]

You know, we could always use FATE.

[DeathNote]

You know, we could always use FATE.

I agree with that but I dont know if I should be the one modding it. I am just a flavor/story writer :/
