rigel6669 Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 The private board is still intact with all the information posted in it. (Acessible only to Sardaukar2k Team.)I can acces it without being in the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyborg Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 The real development process will start somewhere in the future :)When we have an engine to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bi-lalKaifa Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 <looks longingly at the stick, then sighs>I know how that is... I was doing one (very amateur-ish) on RPGM2k3 that a couple of my closest friends thought was hillarious (argumets with 'The Shredder', outwitting the Ass-raping Nazis, an inept bunch of heros chosen purely through mistaken identity (A band named "Saviours of the world" chosen by a deaf and senile council of elders)...But then my computer went all buggery and I wiped the hardriev. All the scripting, editing, sprite-drawing, monster-tweaking and battle animations gone :'(Now they wnat me to re-do it, as well as continue developing this D&D campaign setting, as well as DM regularily (so i have to come up with maps, NPCs, and schnit for that), and gods knows bloody what else... As the other guy said... the day is 120 hours too short : ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyborg Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I hate typing long messages more than once, so I'll just quote my two most informative posts on the main Sardaukar 2000 board.Dear everyoneDuring the past few days, I and a friend of mine have been talking about making a game together.Yesterday we had a meeting with us two and a third guy. My friend and I are programmers, while this third guy takes care of graphics. Oh, I forgot to say that there was a fourth guy there too. He will probably make music for the game, if not my friend will do that.Anyway, it will be a 3D RTS game. Alas, not set in the Duniverse, but most certainly easily moddable into the Duniverse!So why is this so good?Because when there are more people in a team, and they all live near eachother, the team have good chances of success. Much better than if they are scattered around the globe. Also, we have two programmers, which is kind of a must on such big games.We plan on getting it published when it's done. :)Work should start once we've done extensive brain storming and careful planning(which is really important).The official team will be the guys in the team here in Bergen.As we can keep in close contact with eachother, make equipment purchases and the like very easily, the official team will not be expanded outside this area.However, everyone here is free to come with ideas and have their effect on how the finished game will look like.Also, those who give us good ideas will get their name in the credits list.When the game is released, our company will probably be called Cannibal Pixels.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sardaukar 2000 info:Nobody gets kicked out of the Sardaukar 2000 team here on dune2k. Why? Because this is the team that will make Sardaukar 2000!Basically the game my group will make is another game, but as I really want to see Sardaukar 2000 finished and released as freeware, I thought we could mod the game I and my friends are making into Sardaukar 2000. While that is less work for me as a programmer(because the game is already programmed, sort of, and INI scripting and the like will be the type of "programming" we will need to do for Sardaukar 2000), it's work for the others in the team as if we made a game from scratch. Graphics wise, that is. As no real programming needs to be done, I guess I will be doing the 3D models for Sardaukar 2000.That will really ease the load on my shoulders. I felt like I had far too much to do being the programmer and modeller.I told you in another topic that I had a surprise for you. The surprise was that Sardaukar 2000 would be in 3D.

Bi-lalKaifa Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 <reads through a couple of times to amke sure he's got it right> Okay, so this other game is your main project and S2k will be a mod for it? Will this mena we'd have to buy this other game before we could play sardaukar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryorama Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 It's not done yet, therefore impossible to know the exact cost if any.But Cyborg should do a break even analysis. (If it will in fact cost anything to make, especially if anything other than just time.) Thus an estimate can be given of the product so that Cyborg can at least break even.Here is a very simple formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryorama Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 http://www.inc.com/articles/2003/10/simpleformula.htmlROFL, that was good. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyborg Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 The game would cost $x, be ready when it's done.Either you will have to buy the game and use Sardaukar 2000 as a mod, or the engine will be slightly modified and recompiled by me to support Sardaukar 2000 without the need to buy the main game.

Bi-lalKaifa Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Ah gotcha. Well I wouldn't have any qualms about buying the other game, as long as it was fairly easy to get a hold of. In fact, I'd probably get both anyway just to check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyborg Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Well, I will ensure you that at least the main game will be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigel6669 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I hope the new game will not require a top notch new computer to play it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bi-lalKaifa Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Well as long as a 1.4gig processor, a 128meg GeForce4 and 384meg of ram will run it, I'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyborg Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 We really hope to achieve Generals-ish graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
