    Are people free tonight? I've been working on a few story ideas and game mechanics/gimmicks etc. Not sure if they're any good, but they might help give us a little focus as to where the goal lies.

    I'd be free around 9?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,026 ✭✭✭docdolittle


    I'm free then too, just hopefully I don't forget this time :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    Yeah, 9 is great for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,407 ✭✭✭RedXIV

    I'm on it now :P I'll prob just leave it on for the night anyway :) If I don't reply, I think I told you last time, doc, docdolittle and other things will highlight me so I'll prob hear it :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,026 ✭✭✭docdolittle


    T'is 9 :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,407 ✭✭✭RedXIV


    sorry guys, small emergency here. Will get there asap


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,810 ✭✭✭DRakE


    so whats the idea for the game then?


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    We haven't decided. Is anyone online tonight to go over it?

    Whats the details exactly for IRC?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,407 ✭✭✭RedXIV


    Generally we have the doc set up a channel and links us in with a browser client. So all you have to do is click the link and you're in chatting.

    I won't be able to get on unless this is after 9. maybe half?


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    Actually, I've just had a bit of an emergency and won't be about tonight. What's the story with this Assembla thing? Because it seems it'll be a lit easier to use than trying to get everyone online at the one time?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,026 ✭✭✭docdolittle


    Hey guys I'm setting up the assembla page now. We aren't all going to be able to make it on at the same time for team chats so this can be our new place to update everything. In our next meeting I'd like to nail down most things in the level we're going to be making first and set a few milestones to work by.

    If I don't have your email address, PM me and I'll add you, or just go to the assembla page and ask to join from there.

    You'll also probably want to set the updates by hour, otherwise people can update a lot of stuff at once and you'll end up with 20 emails from it :pac:

    Edit: Also, because I added the chat feature, we no longer have to use irc if we don't want to, it might be handier to use :)

    I feel like working today :P I'll put it up tomorrow, but it's going to have a character called lerpz in it, he's not my character, just going to use him for running around with animations to see how we want the camera and gameplay to feel.

    Would you guys want the Unity files first or just files like a .exe or a web player version?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,407 ✭✭✭RedXIV


    I want everything please. would like to see the code, more code the better for me :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    I'm going to try and learn the ins and outs of unity, so all the files would be handy for a look-see.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,026 ✭✭✭docdolittle


    I just spent about 20-30 mins writing out all the stuff for the art and style... then my firefox crashed and I lost it all :( Not cool!


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,407 ✭✭✭RedXIV


    Sorry about the lack of design doc, i'll get it up as soon as I can, got caught working the weekend :(

    Just back from the holidays now, basically ready to go (before i see the mountain of real work for me anyways :/)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,002 ✭✭✭jimi_t2


    What stage is this at? I'd be well up for giving a hand with writing/SFX and maybe some basic backing tracks and that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,419 ✭✭✭allanb49


    Im gonna subscribe to this thread and see how it goes if you all don't mind :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,026 ✭✭✭docdolittle

  • Registered Users Posts: 8,407 ✭✭✭RedXIV

    I WILL be back!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,026 ✭✭✭docdolittle


    Hope you guys don't mind if I make this game for a college project :) Nothing much came of it here :( I'll prob just stick to my original idea for it but I'll be Making it in XNA and I'll post it up here when done if you guys want? :) Only gonna be a 2d version though, Might do 3d over Christmas if I get time :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    No problems here. It kind of fizzled out and I've new commitments, so wouldn' be able to get back to it anytime soon, anyway. Goodluck with it and let us know how it turns out.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,407 ✭✭✭RedXIV


    Same as, little bit disappointed nothing happened but looking back I've no idea where i was going to get the time from.

    Best of luck!
