jjk24: dah level is cancelled!!-all cut scenes,, I geht wah u mean buh!! I tink d goat models will also luk realistic!! U knw sumfin lyk dead rising where u culd be dress lyk a teddy bear or sumfin its comical!! And with d realistic settings makes it even more different!!... And diff is a good tin dis days everithing as gotten stale

ok

dovercomer: pls on which page is the storyline from Kennikazi?

page 13

dovercomer:
@Bulldog are you a mathematician?

well i'm not but anyone that did engineering maths with numerous integrations, differentiations etc etc for 5years isn't a stranger to the term

CODE-EATER:
I asked a question no body even try ansa...


any way that aside,... i'v noticed something...


the story itself is cartoony,a goat escaping and wielding weapons with a gang of other animals n take over the world... thats fine...


but d kind of 3D environments am seeing ( which I must say r awesome) r 2 realistic for such a cartoony story... I mean set those buildings, they r wonderful works no doubt, but 2 realistic... imagine a game featuring characters like tom n jerry, in an advanced 3d world like that of modern combat(android), Or god of war or counter terrorism..

I don't know if u'r getting d pic m trying to paint..


the character n worlds don't fit....

m seeing baracks n storage buildings n blown up cars n bullet bat ad buildings... although to actual goatie character,but imagine a nice 3d cartoony goat wearing a bandana n brandishing a funny looking pistol..WALKING IN A SUPER REALISTIC 3D WORLD SHOOTING ANY HUMAN IN ITS PART....isn't that kinda awkward?

if it was an action game like call of duty...it world HV made perfect sense... e 4 even win 2015 game of the year... but its a farce story...d world around it should be farce-y too..can be detailed with good graphics, but not too much realism...letvd story, characters, 3d world flow well...

and by d way,m seeing mainly talk on barracks n guns?... I taught stage 1 was going to be goaties escap from a market or so?..n it will b temple run-ish....where's d market?...where human models...n most importantly,WHETE IS GOATIE!!! ??

yeah, itx really awkward..... realistic environ juxtaposed with cartoony xter seemz a marriage of strange bedfellows...the thought had been nagging @ my mind, thank Goodness you voiced it out

CODE-EATER:
if u still don't get my prev post... watch "amazing world of gum ball" on cartoon network
..


u'l understand where m coming from

You are spot on. Cartoon-like characters in realistic environment would be awkward. By the way, that cartoon happens to be my favorite on CN

hat's y I asked Project manager what d style should be..He affirmed Super realism.
Then d next question is...WHO IS OUR TARGET AUDIENCE?
And HOW MANY PEOPLE/YOUNG GUYZ WILL WANT TO PLAY A GAME WITH CARTOONISH XTERS INSTEAD OF GRAND THEFT AUTO IN THEIR PC's?
WE should decide our target audience and dat should in some way determine d game style...
And I guess making a near realistic xter game might pose a challenge to our game engine specialist...I may be wrong?

why cant the goat simply be more realistic

@all...i agree with d story not fitting to d style of d environs...and i might take d blame for dat as i am tasked to do concept art. ppl will play a game so long as its good and i believe we r not looking to make a 'real' looking game. Also @kazi try reducing d missions to say 5 not 15.

Hmmm....that meanz the already drafted environ is a waste. Pity

If only @jivi and the whole board will agree, lets have a super realistic stylized goat with rippling muscles like d god Pan and menace of a niger delta mercenary..
I think Amadioha wouldn't mind!

unless you guys use hyper super computers. Mine has a limit to the realism it can handle after which rendering becomes a pain in the rear end

Plan to get a pavalion 15 soon...is that powerful enough?


Cuz m leaving web development n starting over wit 3D modelin n mayb evn game dev...


I hope that hp is gud enough to handle gud animations

#IGNORE THE FOLLOWING IF U DONT LIKE IT#

ADJUST THE CHARACTER LOOK:
the models of buildngs are too good to be thown away,lets rethink and redesign the whole stry lineand characters....more realism so the characters.

A NEW STORY LINE TO GO WITH THE ALREADY CREATED MODELS:
we can change plans,its not too late..we have;barracks n bullet rippd buildings,good thing d goat dude isnt out yet,with wat we hv we hv a gud startup for an action shootr(either FPS or 3rd erson view)..it'l fit perfectly{my sudjested plots n story lines will cme shortly}


AN NTIRELY NEW STORY:

lets start afresh,think things over again...considering the available resoures n man power,like bulldog said,we dont have enough hardware to create another God of war 3,i guess the highest any of us may hav here is a mac book,if at all..or a nice dual core laptop..and according to what i saw in the official Blender 3D requirments u'l need sumtin with a quad-core Nvidia Quadore or Tegra GPU for serious 3d stuff,aprt from available tools,we need someone(s) who can really do some well detailed sculpts,or at least models that are realistic to a certain level...we also need to organise skilled programmers to handle the real thing(character A.I,path finding,etc)..and talk how to go about the voice actors n artsist concept arts(serioous ones)....the list of things to reconsider is long...







so...choose,from the list above....wat do we do?

@all


P.S:i knw we r nt usin blender,just used it as an example...and we can still go on the Goat Revolt and see how things go...its up to u guys,esspesially the OP,he's d reson we'r all here.

kazuna: hat's y I asked Project manager what d style should be..He affirmed Super realism.

And I guess making a near realistic xter game might pose a challenge to our game engine specialist...I may be wrong?

The first issue we need to address his who is our targeted audience before continue with anything.

I don't think it will be wise for us to ignore all the building models we has and start over since this what we have the most.
If we will continue with the storyline, we can still use goatie model because in reality goat can't work on two legs. We will to create men and soldier that looks real up to the capability of our system.

I'm sorry if i sound somehow it is not my fault, i'm not into 3d animation and i'm also joining team late but it's never too late.

@all...i'll b posting some art (xter and level design) for approval with a style i believe will go well with story.

A first look at goatee....suggestions.

Can you make the head a little smaller. I think the character models generally have been okay. I believe the goats or animals fitting into the realistic environment all boils down to the way the characters are textured. Monsters in games do not exist in real life. Yet, they always fit into realistic environments.

@dovercomer

what was your github username?

exactly my point as lng as its nt cel shading !! Its basically lyk playin any other 3rd person shooter except we play as a goat with an over sized head and can walk on two legs!!... Targeted audiences!!-- I think 16- upwards and casual and hard core gamers!! I dnt tink d graphics has to be super realistic though!! Sumfin ok lyk the 1st prototype game kinda graphics or the 1st infamous

Jivi: @dovercomer

what was your github username?

It is dovercomer

@jivi...d head sure...i was wondering about dat. One thing though...wats all this talk about 'super realiatic'...i dnt know of any comical game dat has xters in dat kind of environ...to name a few rachet and clank, jak and daxter, spyro, mario, sonic....u get my drift...they all dbt use celshading yet d levels dnt hv props dat r in d 'realistic' category

@design ppl...i suggest we use a known game as a yard stick that has a comical backstory so we can agree on a style

dueal: @jivi...d head sure...i was wondering about dat.

Well, It means we are probably exploring unclaimed territory which is great. It is always good to be the first to do stuff. I mean those games probably had their reasons for making it comical. The fact is we would prefer to make the animal models more realistic in shape etc but don't forget the reason why you opted to make it stylized because they are shooting at humans which I don't really think is an issue(since other shooting games still shoot at humans whether the shooter is human or not). However, the stylized models would make the goats and cows more believable on two legs. So, we remain realistic in general look and feel while making the animals a little out of usual shape

@jivi. so its environ realistic whict xters stylized...something like TMNT(turtles)?

If d characters n environment were like God is good mottos advrt...e 4 gud well...at least they fit each othr

dueal: @jivi. so its environ realistic whict xters stylized...something like TMNT(turtles)?

yes, exactly like TMNT

dovercomer:

It is dovercomer

I did not find dovercomer on github. Can you recheck and confirm?

Pls, You can try again. I have just verify my email.

Remake

Let d graphics be like that of riders of Berk cartoon... its 3d n not overly realistic... the animal character would fit ryt in.

@codeeater....r u saying this works?

@dueal
I think the remake is great. Anyone think otherwise?
