UltraHau Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Sweet! I didn't know you had started work. Can you describe the high-level architecture of the engine?Basically, it's a client-server, plugin/gamemod-oriented architecture - most functionality will come through plugins/mods, which, in my experience with previous game development projects, is a pretty helpful thing to have.EDIT: I feel like starting a petition to remove that shorthand for "modification" from the word filter...

Kortar Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hello there, I haven't been here in quite a while but now that I have more free time I thought I'd check out what's new. I'd have a question, is it possible to make mods for official games like Heroes, The Game, MNOLG, MNOLG 2 or VNOLG?Btw, I'm willing to help out in projects. I'm not skilled at making games but I'm willing to learn it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha123 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 This isn't really the place for that, but yeah, some of those are moddable. I've modded VNOG. It's pretty easy (except for the cursed indecipherable French abbreviations). There's a topic somewhere on the old forums about it. PM me for more instructions.

Kortar Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hey folks, I just wanted to let you know that I am working on a Bionicle Doom moderator. It is planned to be a Bionicle moderator for the Shareware Doom version so it is free and all gore will be removed. Once I get screenshots I'll ask for the creation of an individual thread. I expect to be ready with it some time in April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpellNeal Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It would be cool to have a building function in the game, like LEGO Universe's building functions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantaire Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hmmm, yeah, we're seriously off topic now that we're discussing commercial games more than Bionicle games... but we have have decided on an FPS project that's going to start development as soon as UltraHau kicks it off! *hint nudge*Elemental powers in the field is a great idea! You could go the Pokemon route, and allow your powers to smash rocks, fly you around, etc, but I'd personally be more interested in Zelda/Metroid-style puzzles using those powers.Currently, The only characters in my game are lightning and gravity, so I'm undecided as to what applications for their powers.Lol, somehow I have the feeling this place is a tad off topic.So, I'm working on a bionicle RPG game with RPGM2003.Would anyone be interested in elemental powers having in game (non battle) applications?that does remind me of how in bionicle heroes, you coyuld upgrade your characters elementalo power that would let you smash through some obstacles into secret areas, but having some elements breaking open caves and stuff where there is a stash of cordak launchers would be what i would like to see.Yes, there was an X-men RPG that had a similar theme. That would probably, however, end up being a thing added on after the main game is developed.Progress on my game right now is slow due to forgetfulness and lack of time, but I have designed/am designing some inherent and kanohi features, such as energy, teleportation, and suchlike.

The Lonesome Wanderer Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Someone could make a FF styled game, lots of items, and multiple endings! I know people have done this before, so maybe it could be based off the storyline of BZPRPG or something.EDIT: Or almost any RPG could make a great game. I think Day Run could make a good one, with vehicle combat. Also Rust, in the style of L4D Edited March 13, 2012 by gdfgdfgdfice Quote "Go beyond the impossible, and kick reason to the curb!

MetruMaximus Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I would like to see a 3D game that takes mechanics from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Transformers: War for Cybertron, Star Wars: Battlefront Elite Squadron, and Socom 4. If all of those games were put into one and applied into a Bionicle Universe that would be the greased thing since sliced bread.

tosha96 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I'm not sure if this is the place for this, but here goes anyways:If anyone remembers, there was a project called "Bionicle: Universe" which was a open-world 3D bionicle RPG being made by B:NG. We're still going, and we've made some progress, and we have decided to go open source.However, as the lead programmer, I'm the one responsible for the change, and I'm not too familiar with git, which is what we're using. I've already got a repo up on google code, but I'd really appreciate the help of anyone who is more experienced with git, as there are a few problems we need to iron out. If you could help me set this up, I'd really appreciate a PM.Thanks! Quote One of the leaders for B:NG, so ask me if you have any questions!

Hexann Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 something fun, to start off.Remember the FCG contest? when the forum was "spammed up" with all these new games? and look at the results. lots of activity, and lots of amazing and addicting games, like havoc, horkida:hero or beast, and kraata attack.there have been lots of failed attempts over the years, with great breakthroughs.most people like 3d games, and i have nothing against that, but it simply is very hard to make them, and, when someone does release one, there is alot of pressure by fans, wanting it to be "perfect"and shooters are always fun,(the ones whee you actually aim, like in "the insurgent"). most of the time, we want somehting with story, but what i think would benefit us most, is having our greatest minds come together to, over time, create a sandbox 3d level, with basic movement scripts and bionicle pieces, so that we will all be on a level playing ground also, things that take skill are usually considered better games. accuracy and skill is better than button-mashing i think i said my point,see ya next post!EDIT: and dogfight games are awesome. imagine the mnolg gukko minigame, but 3d and having a bzp member on your kahu and shooting down nui rama machine gun style, THAT would be awesomeNope I think making it 3D would ruin it now if it was in the original MNOG graphics that would be cool.

Jedi Knight Krazy Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Good! I'm looking forward to working on this. I think I'm also going to be working on a 2D adventure RPG on my own.

Jedi Knight Krazy Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) On second thought, Skyrim's not the best way to describe it. There won't be much in the way of quests, it'll mostly be mask-hunting. Just a free-roaming sidescroller, then... definitely taking a lot of inspiration from Skyrim, though. Wow, I'm rambling today.

Legolover-361 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I think a turn-based strategy game in the vein of Spybotics: Nightfall would be great; there could be some form of storyline, and the game could even be expanded into an online game where players can trade with and compete against other players.
