Symphony of Alderra: Memoirs of Life

Sthrattoff · February 15, 2009, 03:26:39 AM

Preface
Actually, this is an old project. After removing the old topic that abandoned and retiring from my absence for some time, I decide to continue it with brand new idea and systems.

Description
"Everything started with understanding and ignorance will end it."
2880 years after earth catastrophe, the world of Alderra, which is a "parallel" world of the old earth that destroyed after thermonuclear wars, face its first global-scale conflict in 2880 A.C. (After Catastrophe) after assassination of Kingdom of Sayate's Emperor. Condition get worse after United People's Republic of Unislav invade Reichland-Al-Mulk borders. Common people think these events are separated, but some others not...

Characters (currently)
Sthrattoff von Shutroheim
A young assassin specialized in using various sniper rifle. Have no relative, he was found on an abandoned incinerator in Reichland. His "Family" picked and raised him, in the ways of Assassins.

Lunilync Frei
Sthrattoff's twin brother, but passed away few moments after his birth. Childish and Egoist. He show himself sometimes in form of a ghost.

About the Project
Now talking about the project. Actually I can't do this alone. I need graphical artist especially for character sprites. From this thread I wish to invite some of my friends here, they are:

Blizzard
nevfx
Tsunokiette

and some others that I think can help:

LandOfShadow
Zeriab
Irock
Modern Algebra

but I open this project to everyone that wish to help. I really appreciate and looking forward for your participation on projects.

That is all I can describe for now.

Heh, interesting. I know you said that this is all you can describe right now, but I do want to hear more. I'm assuming the game has a certain political flavoring to it?

In anycase, interesting.

Good to see you again Sthrattoff

This project is intriguing - I hope you have a goo time with it. Also, Blizzard is now almost exclusively at his own site: chaosproject.co.nr

Sthrattoff · February 17, 2009, 04:44:34 AM

Updated with additional character that "ready" to be published.

@modern algebra: do you mind help me with this project?

ShellShocked · February 17, 2009, 04:49:30 PM

Interesting. You've caught my imagination. I'm hoping you'll post up some more information on the story soon aswell. Good luck with this.

Animated map
NEW! Tactical Battle System
NEW! Ammo System

Any other idea to implement?

ShellShocked · February 20, 2009, 03:52:57 PM

Care to explain what you mean by 'animated map'?

As for other systems...You've got an ammo system or at least got one planned, right?

Sthrattoff · February 21, 2009, 12:23:48 AM

What I mean with Animated Map is the entire tileset will be animated, so you will see tree leaves blown by wind, etc.

Yeah, you remind me! Thanks! Ammo system. But I need to find a TBS first, so I can adjust the Ammo system fit with it.

Horrible title.

ShellShocked · February 21, 2009, 09:08:39 AM

I've got a TBS stashed away somewhere.

*Blows the dust off my script folder.*

I've got two.

- GTBS (Animated and non-animated)
- ZTBS

I think they should be your first port of call. If I remember rightly...ZTBS is easier to customise, but I'm not quite sure.

Sthrattoff · February 25, 2009, 12:44:22 AM

Weird name with unconventional storyline. Don't judge a book by it's cover.

@ShellShocked: Maybe I'll use Nick's TBS. I get used to it and it is very flexible and use no SDK.

Update:
I'm developing an othello minigame.

ShellShocked · February 25, 2009, 06:18:13 PM

Alright. Good luck with this project. Been waiting for someone to make a decent TBS game. If you need any help, I'm sure I can lend a hand.

Sthrattoff · March 10, 2009, 04:50:17 AM

Talking about othello game, do someone know how to make an AI?

Jonesy · March 10, 2009, 09:20:35 AM

Othello = Reversi, yes?

If so; a simple yet effective Reversi strategy is to try and capture the four corners of the board. If you made the AI try to achieve that it should prove a semi-challenge.

I've used Nick's TBS, and I have to warn you, there is a huuuuuuuuuuge bug.
Sometimes you'll get a pathfinding error, which is completely unavoidable.

Nick also doesn't support his TBS anymore, so it won't be fixed unless you can find a third party patch.

I switched to ZTBS for my own game, and it works fine, GTBS is also a great option, with a lot more as far as battle mechanics go. If I ever make another TBS, I'd use Gubid's

Sthrattoff · March 11, 2009, 02:05:42 AM

Hhhmmm....

Maybe I'll use GTBS, but I think I will heavily modify it. So I can't promise the demo will available soon, but don't worry, I'm working on it (even when I'm doing final exams).

Othello...
Hmmm...
