FarFallen... I like the way that sounds... it has a little ring to it... I like it... and I vote to keep it as our own!...
Bofra
I like the name aswell, but what's the background of it? If there is one tongue.gif.

Also, are you actually considering creating a company? I suggest we keep this totally "unproffessional" so long.. A company needs investment and is a whole different story than a fanbased project.. Of course, if this project bodes well and there is profit to be made then why not, by so far I suggest "FarFallen" is more the team/project name rather than a company name smile.gif.
Mazelure
This is nonprofessional... earlier on we were discussing about when we go to college and then we were toying with the idea of getting together in the future and create a video game company... but it is not like we are a company right now... this is more like a union... like "Spider Man and His Amazing Friends"... only it is '"Mazelure and frineds"... hahahahaha... just joking...
DarkHunter
There is a background... from Mazelure's writing! the demon family has fallen far in the hierachy of the demon world... and our games are going to be based on the demon family so...

Haha, yeah, you wish wink.gif. I'm not your friend laugh.gif.

Obviously I'm joking smile.gif.

I'm almost done with the "template" of our potential website. I've also registered for a webhotel but for personal sake. I will however host the site there if we don't have anything else. But I registered earlier today so the hotel hasn't been setup yet, I hope it will be done today..
DarkHunter
Go ahead and host the site.. mines on Freewebs and therefore crap.
Mazelure
By the way I want to add a warning to all of you... YOU MAY NOT... AND I MEAN MAY NOT... REVEAL THE STORY PLOT TO ANYONE... OR SO HELP ME GOD I WILL RIP OUT ALL OF YOUR INTESTINS... WRAP THEM AROUND YOUR NECK AND JOKE YOU TO DEATH WITH THEM...

Now that we have that out of the way... I will like to add... I am going to go and type out what remains to be typed and send you guys small doses of them so you can get a better feel for the world... until then... jolly ho... my good friends...

P.S. I might have gone over board with the warning... but at least you can catch my drift... no harm done right?...
Bofra
Hehe, glad you posted that before I published the site, the whole story was printed on it biggrin.gif. But now it's secure again. smile.gif

EDIT: Alright, here it is: The website. As I've said, it's just a template and not a very proffessional one, but I believe it will suit our needs.

I'll also get a forum up and running as soon as my web-space has arrived.

Now, storm me with constructive critisism! tongue.gif
Ibis
I think FarFallen is a good name. I guess you'd call us an unprofessional company at this point - a bit more serious than a fanbased project. Or maybe similar.

The difference seems to be that we will be our own fans, because it'll be our own original story & original game that we will be working on. Rather than a Bethesda game or any other pre-established game.

Easier for us in one way because we will have more complete imaginative freedom...but much harder by way of the fact that we will be building a gaming world from scratch.

But there are ways and means and I think we are up to it! goodjob.gif
Mazelure
Dude... I love that web site... you are a freaking genuise... I love when you put... Is this a real question?... but I do wonder... why did you put Project bla bla bla?... anyways I think it will be good to put an introduction and some lore about the game in the site... so it wont look so empty... but nothing that hints or reveals the story plot... ok biggrin.gif ... I am going to start to pm Ibis more often to see if we can get some characters or monster or anything drawn so we can post it on the website...
Bofra
Ah, thank you Maz. Well the bla bla parts are just fillouts to see how it would look with text. I didn't have the time today to write something descent down and bla bla was better than a blank page. You could always suggest what to write and I'll add it.
DarkHunter
Nice work on the site Bofra! I'll come up with something to fill in the Bla's with...
Mazelure
I will pm you some lore that you can put in the site... and some information about the story that does not reveal the plot also... until then...

Kudos Bofra... Kudos
DarkHunter
I'd like to see our "trailer" story too!
Ibis
Guys I still don't have the address to the website! I've been working on the banner for the header. I think we've about got that good now. Please somebody pm me the addy? ohmy.gif
DarkHunter
Yikes... Bofra you made a mistake...: I'm doing the new Races Mazelure is doing the enchantments and magic...

And this isn't the official site... it's just Chorrol.com ...
Mazelure
Hey... I dont want to sound snotty or anything but... I did creat the angels and the demons... dont they count as races too... by the way I am making magic and enchatments too... cool... I will blow your freaking minds away... just watch...
DarkHunter
I know you did the angels and Demons but I'm adding the extra races. The demons and angels are part of the story...
Bofra
Well, there we go, the site has been totally revamped, it's now faster and prettier. I still need the info to fill out the bla bla:s though.

Regarding the work distribution I just copy & pasted from Ibis earlier post, but anyway it's now changed.

-=Clicky=- smile.gif.

PS. I know this isn't the official site laugh.gif. I just linked here temporary, I'll be setting up a phpBB2 forum tomorrow when my web-host is up and running. Be patient wink.gif.
DarkHunter
ooooo... it looks... shinyer! (is that a word?)

And thanks for clearing up all the Status in the site!
It's all better now: I'm in charge of additional races smile.gif

Shinier would be a word, I believe smile.gif.

Well, I was supposed to help you out with additional races but I've been busy with the site so far. That's why I also put additional races on my status. I could add 2:nd or something like that but I assume you aren't that pecky wink.gif.
DarkHunter
Not at all. It's ok you can help me out with the next one... It's FAR more difficult to figure out...
Mazelure
Common Bofra... you know you do more than that... you are a freaking founder... by the way... this project is called"Project Peligro"... by the way I am also doing character creation along with Ibis... in a matter of fact... we have been working together to creat the river spirit... o... one last thing... what am I suppose to do with enchatments and magic?... do I list down the magic abilities and weapons... that will be cool... I think I can do that...
DarkHunter
Sounds good... then I can find creatures to have those enchatment pieces come from (you know what I mean) and Ibis can graphic it.

Well.. Since yesterday I've been working only on the site but I'll start on all the other tasks tomorrow, unless that darn forum takes my whole day.

Oh, yeah, right, I thought we had left that name for FarFallen, feels like we have quite a few names already.. smile.gif How would it be? "FarFallen working on Project Peligro producing Dark Heart."? ohmy.gif

Cool, another race. I suppose you could start thinking on the abilities of the races we have, especially "your" races, i.e. Angels and Demons. Like different classes that uses different types of spell-schools and then what abilities will non-spellcasters have to balance out the spells? etc..
DarkHunter
Bofra if you want I'll Pm you the small amount of stuff I have for the next race. No giving anything away to Mazelure or Ibis until it's done if you do help.
Mazelure
Dude... the game is called Dark Heart... the name of the process of making Dark Heart is Project Peligro... and the name of the company or union is called FarFallen... by the way dude... did you read the pm I send you... about the second quarter of the story... the river spirit is the goddess of the river... not an actuall race... and yeah you have a point... I should go work on the demons and angels races and give you guys a list of their characteristics...

By the way Bofra.... if you havent read the pm I sent you... you should go and read it...
DarkHunter
Cya tommorow morning all! (or maybe around 9 tonight)
Bofra
Sure, I can help you with that. I was thinking on creating a race from the scratch but it seems that's what pretty much all of you are doing, so I think it's better if I help you out with your race and then I'll get to other stuff that needs to be done.

I'm thinking, before we have the whole Lore-part ready we could start creating the actual concept of the game, as in how you level, what possibilites will you as a player have? etc. I mean many game creators usually have an "idea" of the end product like what kind of revolutionary approach will the game use.. etc. smile.gif
Mazelure
Sure I have that... I will type it up and pm it to you tomorrow... but for know I think I am going to chill for a bitt... my hands are hurting verysad.gif ...
Bofra
Yeah, me too, time to sleep.

Btw, I had actually read the last part of the story you sent, I just didn't catch that you were talking about THAT river spirit laugh.gif
Mazelure
Cool... then... problem solved...
Kiln
Nice looking site but it would've been more professional to put "Currently under construction" or something of the likes rather than lots of blas. And I'm thinking that the question section should've actually included some answers about yourselves and what you stand for.

The actual layout of the site looks great, it appears that you all just need to work on the information there or else any visitors to the site might just think its a joke.

Anyways I'm just offering some friendly advice.
DarkHunter
We're working on that right now Kiln... smile.gif
Ibis
Guys, I just pm'd a link to the finished banner to Bofra, however now that I see the more dimensional brighter lettering at the website - I want the nicer lettering copy/pasted onto the finished banner. I'll do it when I get home from work & send it unless Bofra wants to do the copy/paste. Either way.

The site is looking good ... goodjob.gif
Mazelure
I have just finish typing an introduction to the game world so we can post it on the site... who should I send it to... you know what... for get it... I am going to pm you all a copy so you guys can read over it... edit it or add whatever I missed...
Kiln
I just visited the site again, I really liked the addition of the news bar. smile.gif

(Oh and also, the banner is awesome...whoever did it.)

Keep up the great work. As you can imagine I'd really like to see this project succeed, it would just be awesome to be able to see something like this from people I know...well through the forums...but you get what I mean...

Anyways once you get some more information about the actual game and some of its features, I'll try and help you spread the word.
Ibis
Thank you Kiln for your interest & helpful comments. I'm not sure, but I think that once the site is set up & running, it is probably going to be a closed project for awhile so we all can brainstorm & create together without letting any secrets out too soon.

So if that happens, don't think that we've given up - it'll just be us all getting our heads together & sorting things out. biggrin.gif
Channler
What ever happened to.. Dark.. no uh.. That artist guy that used to do the Daedra thing back long ago.. Wasn't he making a game?

EDIT - I actually suggest that one of you guys pick up a C++ for dummies book, or Windows Game Programming for Dummies. I got a copy on my shelf, actually got both of them. Got as far as understanding what makes a game tick, and how coding is supposed to work (a giant circle..).

One of your team members should try and learn instead of recruiting an outside force, that way you have more stability and once you have the base team, build up from their and put people under the base.

Little JROTC training there, don't have to many cheifs and not enough indians.

Oh, and for the sake of brevity could I get like a little summary of what you all are doing? I realize you don't want to reveal a story yet, and thats fine. But maybe like a set of united goals you all wish to accomplish?
Ibis
Channler, thanks for the advice. We are actually sort of counting on the fact that in September DarkHunter is going to be taking game design related classes in high school & that I am probably going to college for Computer Animation relating to game design. So we are hoping to pick up what we will need there.

Windows Game Programming for Dummies sound good ... I was always a "for dummies books" fan since my VolksWagon Owner's Guide for the Compleate Idiot. C++ is awfully expensive, isn't it? I'd love to get my hands on that, but until my financial package comes in, I don't have much money to work with and that money will be for school.

A little summary of what we're doing is = making a game around a story of Mazelure's about Angels & Devils vying for control of a world that has a midground with other races in it.

A set of united goals we'd like to accomplish = Make a smash hit game, outdo Bethesda Softworks in scope & sales, invest in ourselves, become a roaringly rich game development company, put out at least 2 sequel games within 5 years. Buy planes & yatchs - sail & fly all over the world, buying small & medium countries & making them wear funny clothing & dance the way we tell them to ... living NPC's in our own little Game World Network!! Yeeaahhhahaha!!! Power has NOT gone to my head!!

Now seriously though, I think you make a very good point, because our website is just being set up & we haven't actually sat down and made a hard list of the united goals that we all wish to accomplish. I think that will be one of the first things to do when we get organized on the website and aren't just communicating here in posts & by pm. Thanks for the advice.
DarkHunter
No... the power didn't go to your head at alll... absolutly not... (serious sarcasm...) Just kidding of course. But we really won't be showing much of the story (refur to Mazelure's earlier threat)... hmmm maybe before the game is done we'll let the people here a Chorrol have a demo...
Bofra
Thank you Kiln and Channler! You'r like our personal counselors tongue.gif.

Anyway, as said the webpage was only a template when I put it online, maybe I shouldn't have published the adress public as it was actually meant so that the team could see what I've done. But outside comments and suggestions are always good.

Considering the banner, well, I've sent you some PM:s to discuss the matter.

Also the site has now a new adress! http://www.calero.se/DarkHeart
It's from my personal server thust the calero.se . I'll put up a forum as soon as I can today, so stay tuned for it.

EDIT:

I like the idea biggrin.gif.
Ibis
Yes we are all under serious threat from Mazelure ... not to divulge ... hmmm, better not say anymore.

But really, there is so much to do and I love Konradude's suggestion about C++. I've wanteed that for awhile now. But I'm going in for the animation half of gaming not the programming. At Full Sail, the school I'm hoping to attend, you have to take math & logic tests in order to get into the game design program because that's where all the coding & hex editing & such like is.

Me - I'm better off with art.
DarkHunter
Mazelure... when you send updates send the rest of the story (that was before it) with it... Cause I delete after finishing reading/getting insparations from things... Of course I can remeber most of what happened, but if you update I'll probably not be able to fit it together.
Channler
Well I got your sight bookmarked. Looks stunning. Love that banner.
Kiln
Just checked the updated link, sweet forums you got there. goodjob.gif

Now you have a central point, a nexus if you will, to direct all your operations. Keep up the good work, seems to be getting off to a good start.

Edit: Yeah I bookmarked it as well.
Ibis
Thank you so much Kiln & Konradude. We really value your interest and insights. I have you in mind for a certain position whenever it may come up later on Konradude ... game music consultant.

Please visit the site often & let us know what you think, k? bigsmile.gif

Not to correct you or anything but all instances of Konradude above should be Channler. I've yet to see Konrad stop by unless he's spoken with you in pms. laugh.gif

Edit: Oh and also, I see that the main page has been updated with information regarding your project. I'm pleased to see this because now I actually know what you're all working on. laugh.gif
Channler
laugh.gif I was wondering why she was saying that.. kinda makes sense now..
DarkHunter
So.. Channeler, and Kiln, wanna join the team as Councilers?
