Edited by: Mitsa Nutita on 21/02/2008 21:21:53 I don't know if it is allowed, but I am using my freetime to do it anyway. Basically it will be a 2D version of Eve with a twist though, instead of MMO this will be a 1-2 maybe 3 hours of gaming per "game". The objective will be to destroy the enemy main station. All four Races will be slowly implemented and almost every single item, gameplay feature and so on from Eve will be implemented as well, though ISK will be no part. The main part is to "organize" your team so you construct, kill and make sure that the enemy will not be able to mine.
Training skills will be possible as well, though training times will be MUCH MUCH lower as well as all blueprints for the selected ships to enter the game will be available at all times. This means that only skills dissallowing building Battleships from start.
THIS IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR EVE, rather a small PvP game for people who don't want to spend 3 years to skill for stuff, or is tired of blob warfare and would like some strategic change
If CCP dislikes this, I will discontinue this idea for the public.... This game will never be sold if finished

Plenty of people have made EVE-based games / mods over the past few years (like Tarminic's Downtime Madness). Your best bet is to email Wrangler and wait for official approval and terms, though.
The usual wisdom is that as long as it is a not for profit community project, CCP usually allow it. Free publicity must be nice ------

As far as ive seen ccp is good about this kind of stuff,I dont know if they will allow this but its a great idea and ill download and play it once its finished.
Though,would this be an rts in the form where you control more then one ship?Or just like a 2d version of eve objective style? This is what happens when a kestrel with thermal missiles declares war on earth

I think I will contact CCP then and ask for approval :)
And no it wont be an RTS, it would be very much like Eve except that it will be 2D, and the biggest of the biggest (Titans) and Motherships would be disabled. Targeting, NOS'ing, everything would be like Eve is now. Though the graphics might change to simplify or to counter lag.
You would start like in Eve, only Ibis, and base skills (though attributes choosing will be denied, but race and subrace will be available for choosing)
Ships will also be restricted to their respective Factions so it will look like a faction war. If it's possible to make it lagfree, I would like to have 200+ players to be able to play it at any one time on one server, though smaller scale maps will also be present.
The gameplay will very much be focused upon Teamplay as ships are not just "there", they have to be constructed and distributed. I might include ISK's but it is a very good guess I wont. ---------------------------------------

/*Bump*/
Do anyone know where ingame mechanics for Movement (Acceleration, velocity and mass) mathematics or at least schemes showing it? And for targeting as well. ---------------------------------------

Edited by: Lena Kanto on 23/02/2008 00:45:56 Edited by: Lena Kanto on 23/02/2008 00:42:56 Heheh, I recognize that background. (And the EVE stuff, of course.)
Use some anti-alias on the modules mate. I'm working on a 2d space game as well. Two screens, I'll remove them if you want but I thought someone might be interested. Explosion and Flying around
Good luck with your game, developing indie games is alot of fun. I would strongly advice not to use GM for a multiplayer game, I have a decompiler myself and I'm sure hundreds of others do too. There's too much risc involved and it's hard to get a capable server without charging, furthest I'd go would be 2-4 player IP sessions, then people can't ruin a server-side saved game.
edit - Targeting Calculator: http://www.thehumblecrew.org/tools/targeting.pl?scanres=30&sigrad=162 It links to an old topic I created where someone figured out the exact formula as well.

tarmnic has a top down shooting so you'd have to compete with that if that what your going for.

but still everything is fine. go for it!

EVE is a cold, harsh world, filled with people that would kill you without a second thought. The forums are even worse. |
