TrueLife Can't Post

Ok I was chatting to Jakestah on msn a couple days ago and he said that this project is worthy of being on this forum. Any way TrueLife is a MMORPG based in a New York City enviroment, theres tons of skills, the skill system is like runescape with all the skills being able to be trained from the start(Accept in my game ALL of the skills can be trained without doing quests). The graphics won't be that good at the beginning till I get the DX working so I can turn it 3D.

The main object of the game is to do what you want be a bad guy or good guy, get a job from other players, yes other players in this game there are no NPC's I hate them its just not realistic. The whole city is player run. Now most of you are thinking, "Thats imposible, you would have tons of buildings that had nothing in them," well I have thought of a way that makes the game more interesting and a little better. It starts off as a town that will develop into a city.

One other detail is that there are no Admins, well there are sorta this may sound dumb to some but I thought that there could be a task force such as the FBI accept call them the FBA Fed. Burol of Adminastration.(I can't spell any of that so don't think i'm dumb, just don't feel like looking it up at the moment.) These figures will maintain the bigger side of things that go on with the GAMES such as admins, but there isn't tons of ranks, theres only 2 the leader and the units. The leader will be me because the leader maintans all the inssues with the server and things to that affect.

Players will be able to submit ideas, images, and usuages, also if that person new Visual Basic could suggest a different form of code that could speed up the game's performance. So far its been going steady although I don't really have a "team", write now in consist of me and another guy. I am the only coder, so if any of you would like to be part of the project i'll see how good you are at BitBlting and such, since BitBlt will be the way the graphics will be done in the beginning. I am also accepting artist, coders, and also from anyone at all times ideas to put in the game. I hope this project works out and I didn't do all that work for nothing.

The last little feature before I close this post is that there will be a standard single-player version, it will include NPC's alota of them that offer jobs and "quests " as some call them, I would like to call them errands but that doesn't matter.


Well I think I covered most of the project, oh ya I built a app that would tell the skills for the Beta version, here it is HTTP://www.freewebs.com/tokratan/True Life Info.exe. Till I get a Web Master and stuff the game won't have a website becuase frankly I suck at web design, if and of you would bring up some good FREE web site hosting for now. I think I know one its like 741.com but I don't know html or any of that good stuff so if any of you would like to take the job as Web Master for the game just let me know and as Web Master you will have to know a good deal about Html, I don't think there are any other coding languages like that besides Java, Flash, and well thats about it that I know of. Well this really closes the Post, Cya till next time.

Ah yes I need some 2-d art, because at the present I am doing the 1-man army thing on most of it. And also I am sorry of the first post I only had like 7 minutes to type that out. I hope it turns out to be a ok game.

Anyway I am trying to learn Html at the moment as well as Program ming TrueLife, oh and could I get a comment about my game, and not just a bad comment on how I speed type, again while I am in a hurry on typing out something I'll try to put it in a better format.

I would be glad if we could get a team going off this site, I like whats on this VB forum but, its just, well its mostly on RuneScape and howing to log onto the server, etc. The way I figure there should be talk abotu how to design and code many different types of applications.

Back to the main subject I hope this thread doesn't just get like 6 post and 20 views or something, I hope it takes off. Because right now I am hoping that 9 players is not the highest it ever reaches. I'm trying to build a Virtual community while not chargeing a cent to the players, because I think that GAMES like WoW are great but hey I don't enjoy paying fifty dollars for a game then having to pay nine dollars or more a month just to play, when it takes like a year and a half to get a "decent" character.

Alse I won't be having a GIANT banner on the Teams site saying DONATE TO THE game. I mean I don't mind donateing to a good cause but begging for it is a little to much. Right now I am getting money by building software for some business's, it's good money for now, but when I get shipped off to school in kansas city it might not be so easy to update everyday or two and/or have a quality server with not much lag while paying for books and stuff.

Well thats all for now and as I said before I need a 2D graphics guy/girl, coder guy/girl, site master guy/girl. I have found some coders but it turns out that the only language that they really know is something like rpg maker or something like that, thats ok but your only getting the position if you know VB.

Well I'm out, if you are interested in a position, post or email me at Tokratan@yahoo.com or the EvoX2010@hotmail.com . Also the site I was using to post files on before was something I made along time ago and its nto used accept to have files stored on it so I don't mess with any of that stuff anymore. Just wanted to clear that.

Ok this time i'm really Out
