Hello everypony, I am currently working on many projects but this one imparticular I need help with. it's a full 3d recreation of Equestria where u can be a earth pony, a pegasus, a unicorn, a griffin, or a dragon, and maybe even a changeling. This project will be out for mac windows and linux and free to play for everypony. This game will include quest adventures beast towns and what may become the WoW of the Pony Universe, but i have no doubt in my mind this game will be awesome if developed well with a wonderfully skilled and devoted team. This is where you the reader come in, if you have any coding, music, art, or organizational skills that u would like to contribute just give the word and id be glad to let u be part of the team.
Awesome i think i will make a chat on skype for all contributors to this project once we get a few more
If this is ever going to be made in reality, I`d be glad to join you as a Game Designer (you know, thinking about the story line(s), additional systems (like skills and stuff), filling the world with life...). But first: do you have any references? Anything we as interested people can have a look at? Would be helpful! Have a nice day! Greetings
Yes right now i have a basic test world with a functioning third person character working if you would like me to post what ive made so far id be glad too. But its's not much just a mlpish land scape with Gary the repair man making sure its safe for every pony. But i am adding on to it and would be grateful for artistic and game development help
Well every Pony you asked for it. Version 0.1.0 Pre Alpha of My Little Venture. I know it's not a tremendous amount but its what ive gotten down with what i can do by my self in a few days, and yes I know there aren't Ponies or dragons or Griffins yet just a human repair man named Gary. But dont worry hes just there for fun and to make sure its safe for all your OC's later. So call him our unofficial Bug Tester. I hope you ponies all enjoy what you see enough to wanna collab and help with this project. Thnx ^^ Downloads: Mac: http://www.mediafire.com/download/7ao2c3ogtjgemkf/MLVentureMac.zip Windows: http://www.mediafire.com/download/475af6c38mayuzt/MLVWnDws.zip ~tell me if these links dont work
Ok, seems like you know what you`re doing. I`ll be glad to help with any aspects of designing the world of coming up with dialogues, characters... You know, things that are important for atmosphere. How do you want to proceed? Greetings
well right now im working on a menu for character race selection so if we could get a menu for like choosing Mane/Feather/Scale styles i think that would be good. also if you know any 3d artists or any that could make good GUIs for the menu's that would be nice but i think the 3d art should come first since a unicorn is a cylinder right now. Also if you would like i can create a group for collaboraters of the project on skype or we could create some other central location of communication that doesnt take a long time to get a reponse. If you have any ideas ill be glad to here them, especially if they are for this early in the process. Thnx for the support.
Sadly I don`t know anyone capable of doing such things. And for the other stuff: I`ll try to think of some things :-D Greetings
Awesome great to being more collaborators, and i am still working on the race selection menu and may soon be adding race models, but that is a definite maybe. If anyone would as help enough to make some sort of main Hub for all collaborators to correspond that would be great, and Have A Nice Day! ^_^
I'd be happy to help with any 2D art you need; HUDs, menus etc Not sure about the 3D art though, It's been a while since I've done any 3D work and it's much more realistic/design based then artistic. Spoiler: Really old crappy 3D stuff
@SR In my opinion, this looks anything but crappy. I`d go with "awesome"! With all the supporters we got by now, this can really become a good thing :-D Greetings
But when the game came out would we be admins and i believe this game is gonna be like legends of equestria but better ^_^
OMG! u have no idea how Great you have all made feel to hear you all be so excited about this game i will surely try and get Pre Alpha 0.2.0 out soon or maybe just skip that version and go strait to Pre Alpha 0.3.0 or 0.4.0 . As for SR20DETDOG's offer for some 2d art work, id love to get some better HUD's and GUI's made for the game cause i am currently using crap default ones for the game engine. As for 3d models. I think i will make some all right or maybe good enough for now ones to stand in for the later better models in the game, so in other words my models will be low poly and not look very good cause im amateur at blender right now. thnx for all the support! ^_^
We have to consider this: At the moment, we are a few people. So don`t do the same mistake as many other independent developers and overdo yourself. Start with small things. For example, don`t start with all of Equestria, but maybe with a small part of Ponyville. There are many things that need to be thought of, and the worst thing you - or we - could do is to try to accomplish too much in this early stage of development. As time goes by and the project gets in shape, more people with the right spirit will join us. So, all I want to say is this: start slow and low, there`s no need to rush. So far, have a nice day everypony :-D Greetings
