Possible new civilization game: make our own!

[Steph]

The project has not went very far yet, as I'm virtually alone to work on it.

This is not to reduce the contribution of others, there have been some good discussions and suggestions, but for practical implementation it's only me, and I don't have much time.

For the moment, I have worked mostly on a programming architecture, for the graphical engine, the attributes system, etc.

So I have mostly the "tools" needed to work, now I need to use them.

 

[Takhisis]

You can ask for a model any time, Steph. I've shifted the brunt of the ratha work to Blue Monkey.

 

[Steph]

For units, I have more than enough here.

What I'd need, beside time which is in short supply, would be help with the terrain

 

[Kyriakos]

The terrain is the one static graphic i cannot help with, unfortunately...

 

[Takhisis]

You're an engineer running out of time... why not build a time machine?

 

[Takhisis]

Back to the matter at hand, I've never ever done terrain. I can do some relief and apply a texture to it if you like, though

 

[Kyriakos]

How many different terrain types are there, and how many different pieces for each type?

 

[Steph]

The terrain types are independant, so I don't need many types.

Only 3 are in theory enough to test.

For the pieces, the problem is in the relief.

It would be easier to explain interactively with MSN

 

[Kyriakos]

Got that Takhisis? Stop being a lazy lowlife and help Steph

 

[Takhisis]

Oh, so you've waken up. Anyway, we are on MSN, FYI.
