  You play as yourself. Choose everything that suits you and start playing! There is over 300 possible storylines to follow - every decision can pull you down a different path.
• The Non-Playable Characters
  Each NPC is different. The things they say depend on three factors: How much they Like you, The time, and the Location. Then they can say several random things. Each NPC can say as much as 20 phrases, and a minimum of 8.

Planned BETA A release date: November ??, 2008.

This is a game that I started up in my free time recently. I am aiming for the sort of game that is never the same, no matter how many times you play it.

LIFE is a Luna Productions game.

Looks pretty nice!
Are there any screenshots? :shock:

 

[moog]

I swear ive seen this project before...

Either way, you need a screenie! Hurry or this'll get locked.

 

[Despain]

Congratulations on having no information whatsoever. You have 24 hours add something of use or this is going bye-bye.

 

[Luminier]

Oh, come now. Can it really be that hard to tell us a little more? Right now, the amount of info here doesn't exactly warrant a project thread.

I mean, you haven't even given us any sort of backstory, or anything. I can't see how anybody could draw a real opinion of the game from what little is known(a few... oddities aside). There must be characters central to the plot, yes? They don't have to be playable characters, just people that are important the game's plot(or in this case, one of the game's many plots). You're using a turn-based battle system, correct? Then there must be characters which join your party(if not, then... bleck). List a few of them.

Screenshots would certainly be a plus. If this game is far enough into development to have August set as a realistic release date, then you must have made considerable progress, and therefore you should be able to whip up sufficient screenshots. Speaking of the release date; If that really, and truly is a realistic date for this game to be finished, then why is this in early projects? This should be in the main forum. I mean, if this game which has "over 300 possible storylines to follow" could be released as soon as this August, then surely you're well past the halfway point in the development process.

Bottom line: I think you're being extremely unrealistic, and I bet you've barely even started development. But hey! I might be wrong, and probably am. Prove me wrong, guy. Prove me wrong. Oh, and you might wanna add some more info. Thanks.  :straightthumb:

 

[boon]

Sorry about the lack of info. I was typing it and had to end it, really quickly. I'm typing more now.

 

[Gray]

Sounds like a really good game (but it kinda sounds like a rip off of fable. Same kinda "Every action has a consquence" sorta thing.) sounded more like a simulator , than an RPG.

 

[boon]

I never meant for it to be like an RPG, and I have never heard of Fable before. I kindof want it to be like the Sims. Also, I have updated the realease date. What was I thinking, August? No, I plan Jan 09 - Feb 09.

 

[boon]

I added another screenshot  :smile:

 

[Cheeze]

.....I know exactly how you came up with this....
One random day you and your family decided to play "LIFE" the board game
Then...Came this...

We need more screen shots of the project itself. Not just the intro--We Want Gameplay.

 

[boon]

It's partly the reason I put this in "Early Projects" as I am still working on the tilesets. Also, there is a game called LIFE?

Plus we don't play games as a family, mainly because I don't live with them.

 

[Cheeze]

-facepalm- Yeah...Board game...you are little pegs in a car...Big spinner in the middle.....you get married and have kids and whatnot....Just like the Sims...But a Board game.....xD

Anyway---So you don't have any placeholders?

 

[boon]

What is a "Placeholder"?

Sorry, I don't know a lot of terms :P

 

[tchild]

This game looks interesting. 300 possible storylines?! I will try this out when it's done =) The screenshots aren't that appealing though...

They look a lot better when animated. The clouds move and such. New screenshot added! It is of the islands so far.

 

[Grathea]

...Is that an ingame screenshot? Looks like it was made using Terragen. If it's a concept screen, fine. If it's ingame, hell yes.

 

[Cheeze]

a place holder is something that takes another thing's spot until you have the right thing.

...Is that an ingamescreen shot? Looks like it was made using Terragen. If it's a concept screen, fine. If it's ingame, hell yes.

It is made with Terragen, however I am going to animate it by rendering a hell of a lot of photos. It just basically zooms in on the island.

Actually, one of the better ideas is - the game needs a tiny amount of loading because of all the switches and variables on each map. So, I was thinking that we could have several screen shots of the same island that are randomly determined before the quick load screen starts, so that the player can see several shots of the island each time they visit. It's an idea me and my friend have in the pipeline, as Terragen doesn't fix heights terribly well so you get an odd animation.

 

[Swordhunter]

Looks great! I can't wait to play it!!!
I love a free roam games like that especially when they have many things to say and no just the same shit every time I speak to them >_<"

 

[boon]

I'm scrapping the sideview system as it is incredibly incompatible with some scripts  :dead:

Once again, if anyone is interested in joining, theres still a lot of room.
