Well, I have only really started, and I dont have enough cash (currentlly, 90k) for the schools, so I am taking starter courses at a junior college. The class is more about the whole process not specific things like levels. Try to download a trial version of 3d studio max. That is what most game designers use for the creation of their gamers. Also download the tutorials that I belive should still be on the site. Some things I already know and some I don't. Mostly, it has to deal with how t

AGH!!!!!! Thanks

I think it would be nice as well, especially if there is away through ship construction and structures that those wrecks can be salvaged into the resources from which they were built. This would not only help by way of cutting down on what would be rendered, but if there is a heavily contested region of space, it would be visibly evident and additionally battlefield obstacles.

Inert - It wouldnt be all that difficult my man, atleast not anymore diffiult then anything else( mind I myself have no "official" balanceing experience), what you would do is something similar to what MOOII did, that being give a stock option page for the race bonuses for everyone and a few tech tree options in game that once you go down one path, you begin to lose options for the other paths. Fairly simple. Perhaps the side wont be drasticly different but it would be enough. However, once t

Well, I am taking classes to become a game designer, and I was just wondering if anyone else out there was doing the same. I don't mean people that if asked off hte street to come in and make they would, but those that are actually trying to push there lives forward following Game Design as career path. I am, and I would be interested to see who else on this forum is as well.

Hello, and welcome to the forums from a fellow newcomer. I would place suggestions, except I need more data on the game *cough beta cough* before I made any good ones.

No Probs mate, I can understand your point, but dont you think that the game should be made playable without having to slow it down at all? The number one reason I stopped play Imerpium Galactica II was the fact that it took me 45min to look at my 40* planets and make sure I had them the way I wanted them. Now partly, I chalk some of that up to bad AI, and partly to me being a nit picker about my stuff, but still even 15min to check all planets and the like are insane. I guess my point

And Umbra returns to the group with an eye tweezer holding some wrinkled skin between his legs where an apendage should be and a microscope focused in on the area held by the tweevers, nothing remarkable can be seen.

Thanks, nothing I havent seen before, but it did refresh a few points. Thanks.

Yea again, I am trying to shorten my points as per your request, however I dont think I am doing well at conveying my point.

I know this is a bit off-topic, but did anyone ever see the SnapShot stories? I miss nto seeing them Nice shots though.

Indeed, it is a my honor to shock and suprise you all from time to time. It means I am not getting old.... At least I hope it does I would also like to point out, that even though I did say what I said, it doesn't make my statement any less factual.

Wraith, if you were responding to me, I was trying to ask, how will each side be unique. What i mean is if there are three TEC players, will the only way you will know which is which is by what color and name they have? Will those three TEC player be identical in every way except where they are in the game, what they have in terms of territory and tech, and how they play? I could understand older games like Star Craft and WC3 and the like since they really had to worry about the limits of hte

Its like watching two midgets having a pissing contest with umbro garcfully stepping out as Schem and Emp begin to meassure how far their scrotums strech inside the thimble.

How will you allow for a degree of Uniqueness amongest the different Factions, or will they all be the same as the other members of the same faction? ie all TEC are the same, all advent and vasari are just like other advent and vasari.

heh, thanks.

Yea, slightly shorter then before HUZZAH!

as for the first part, I prolyl did not explain well( me trying ot be shorter on the posts). Let me try again. The first stage would be the general run of hte mills stuff that absolutally each race gets. they would be more of a jumble then defined paths. As certain techs are researched the second tier of tech starts to become availible. This is the stuff where( though techology) you begin to define your Factions style. Base exaples would be energy, porjectile, rocketry, fighters, bio-electr

Corret Hidden, this isnt an RTS I though I did say that, I am just saying that changing the game speed is an unacceptible way to give a shorter or longer game. Shorter Games - Production and Research times reduced for faster offline->online status, in some cases, faster ship speeds, small maps could help as you said before. For me thse really aren't my first choice, but they could help. The gamespeed itself would not change, just certain key elements. Longer games - the same c

Indeed Spliter, Back-stabbing is apart of life, that is why it is so much fun when some one backstabbs you and then you ripe them a new arse hole I have had a few games where my ally betrays me, and I spend the rest of my game life cahsing them to the nether and back until they die. Then I still win the game lol

Aww Schem, I made the second to last paragraph for you.

GJ Lava, it is too blobby and filled in to be lights

What are the different formations you cna set? Will you be allowed to create custom 3d formations out side of a MP match and then use them in game? The next step to RTS games are importeted designs, least I think so. What will the level of badge/color customization be? Given that there are currently only three announced races, and there are plans for I believe I saw 10 players in an MP to play at a time, how will the tech/racial bonuses/customization abilities if any,

Hello All, I being what I am, have many many questions, given the length of my posts to date, can go on at some legnth at that. I will attempt to keep these shorter. First up, just curiosity, I have seen some of the screens, and noticed( most likely incorrectly) that for each of the factions, not all the ships look as though the same mind crafted it. It looked almost as if there were different teirs of ships that could be researchd. It is hard to really explain, so I will js

I Tried to break up the stuff in points not continuous paragraphs.
