Ok, thanks Boon! Just send me a pm whenever you need me! I will usually be on during the weekends, sometimes during the week. But my internet keeps crashing on me, so I might not be able to respond as soon as possible, but I will get to it for sure!

i just want to ask quickly... why are you using rmxp / rmvx for this project when you say its not gonna keep the rpg element but be more like sims?
if you can code (and the fact that you have not requested any coders yet kinda shows that you might - or dont want scripts / silleh billeh) then using a ruby / sdl binding would give you much more flexibility for this... you can also trasnfer alot of pure scripts from rmxp across to ruby as it is (although windows and such are not possible to transfer and as such needs to have a window rewrite - and all image based scripts would need editing to work with the image binding of the ruby / sdl package you choose - it sounds alot of work but really its not when you see the possibilities)
im not saying that rmxp is incapable im just saying that when people wish to break the boundries with games they should look for the next level of ability - my games kinda revolve directly around that theory, the fact that i wanted a LoZ game but it lagged like a bitch even when scripting on rmxp... i transferred it over to ruby / gosu in a month and it runs at 50 fps fine... theres a major difference

For two reasons, really.
First of all, RMXP has a base of source code. People submit scripts for use, and are easiest to find on forums like these. (Hence the fact that this IS an RMXP forum).
I cannot code well, I can only do things like make windows, call up data, position images, make images move and dispose of images. That's about it.
Second of all, it's the simplicity of the map editor. The event system, and all that. It's easier to use then putting in variables or arrays and testing to see the result.
Also, I clearly stated this over 3 times.
THIS IS NOT LIKE THE SIMS!
Please, read that before saying it's like the sims.

A lot can happen in two months, I guess, and from the little I know about LIFE, it's nothing like the Sims. I'd say it's more like a free-roam, decision-impacting RPG (comparable to Fable). Show us more updates Boon. :F

Finish the website too!
=-=-UPDATES-=-=
Hey, sorry about posting no new updates in about a month. I've been in Belgium and Germany, then I am Currently in the Canary Islands until Sunday 24.
I don't want people to think this entire project is dying, so I've decided to add some little updates and stuff. The project is very much alive, its just extra hard during the school holidays and peoples time off work.
Anyway - A few updates mostly in team building.
_____
First of all I need to get this out of the way, so the Current Team for LIFE is:
Boon - Organiser and Lead Pixel Artist
Axerax - Manager of Project
Muse - Artist and Assistant in Story Development
MukanshinBlack - Story Writing and Idea Development
(Positions are mostly open in the Pixel Art and Scripting areas if anyones interested, by the way.)
_____
Second of all, I think I should release some info on the Current story (This section will be added to the main post, too.).
It's set in a group of islands (Which I havent named the group, only the individual islands). You pick which one of the 5 main islands you want to live in - In the Northern Snowy Island of GLACILO, The Volcanic Island of INFEROS, The Marshy Island of AQUOX, The Rocky Island of TERRAS or The Floating City of CENTRAL. (There are other islands that cant be inhabited at the start of the games, including a sorta gimmick island lol) but can be later on. Theres also a suprise towards the end of the game.
Basically you start off as a young adult who's just finished school. You have a new car, a new road to set down and an entirely new life. What you do from then is entirely up to you. Explore the world around you and meet new people, you can be on top of it all or hit rock bottom. Everything you do affects the changes in the world around you.
___
Im also thinking about adding an online feature, like a meetup room or online scoreboard with things like relationship scores and overall money.
(Again, this ties in with this too: The project is in Desperate need of hired scripters.)
Anyway, that's the updates for now. By the start of September the website will be finished, and if Axerax isn't away it will be put up. :smile:
To anyone that wants to beta test, drop me a PM and the Beta will be ready by the 15th Of September for selected Beta Testers to... test.
Until Later,
Boon.

Heh, welcome back Boon. Was hoping your lack of posts was because you were too busy on the game, but I guess not.
Looking forward to the beta in September.
Looking forward to the beta in September.
Thats a question I ask myself sometimes...
Will it be finished? XD
I aim to have it done within 2009 but... I really underestimated the effort I need to put into my first game. So I'm going to remove the release date and replace it with the Beta release for Beta testers. But I really don't have a clue in the world about when I will finish this.

Please remember that if anyone is interested in being one of the following, that positions are open for:
Positions are really needed for Scripters and Musicians!
Please send a small PM saying about your skill, 2 samples of your work and what you can do for the team. *Samples not required for Beta Testers*
Thank you!
