Hey Hanaan,
You download the game by using SVN (and that's how you put stuff into
the game too).
Heres the link again on how to do that stuff:

If you hit any snags let me know and i can help you out. You just use
the username and password you gave me before in SVN (if you forgot
your login or anything let me know and i can look it up for you)

Thanks for the info Alan.
And kent I have read the wiki. But its very fragmented and not in
a cohesive format. So it is difficult to understand the story,
game progression, and what the game is currently from the various
disparate pages.
eric: I did not see a link to the game anywhere on the site. Its
possible Ive overlooked it. Can you send me a link to these game
files to view that you mentioned? It would be helpful as
"realistic" isnt very descriptive of the actual style of the game
art. When I ask about style I mean more how all the art elements
are being used together to create the environment.
thanks again everyone for your replies!

Hey Hanaan,
The game in a nutshell is that you start as a disembodied soul
floating in the void (this is the void area that we are trying
to finish up right now).
In the void, you meet an old man who gives you a body and
sends you on quests in the land of the living.
The game is going to be divided into a first half and a second
half.
The first half is going to be broken up into chapters where
you start out in the void, the old man sends you back to the
land of the living, you do stuff (specific quest, linear
storyline type things) and then return.
The storyline (correct me if im wrong guys) is basically that
the old man is in a war against the gods. At the end of the
first half of the game I believe you are going to get the
choice whether to side with him or not, and what is available
in the second half of the game will vary depending on your choice.
The second half is non linear gameplay where you have free
movement around the world and there's adventures to be had.
Eric has the major overview parts of the storyline worked out
but the details are being worked out as we need them.
Our development process is we plan out a milestone which is a
bite sized chunk of the game to make and get concepts together
and figure out the details, break it up into tasks and start
developing.
When we are done, we start on the next milestone (:
The current milestone is to create the void map where you
start the game.
In this area you meet the old man who will let you create how
your character looks (we are saving that portion for a later
dater and just having it give you a standard body for now).
Also in the area is a fortune teller tent where you go talk to
a robotic fortune teller who asks you questions. Your
character stats are based on the answers you give, but there
is also a "secret" way you hack the robot and play a little
minigame where if you win, you can assign your own stats. We
have the minigame basically done, and are going to put in a
place holder conversation with the fortuneteller since we dont
have the stats system completely designed yet.
Lastly in the area is a temple where you are put through a
couple "tests" which are easy and are just there to teach you
the the controls of the game and the basics of combat when you
fight the temple beast (which is what Katie is currently
working on).
We've been on this milestone for too long, so right now we are
just trying to get the models and everything else in this
milestone finished so we can move onto the next one.
I don't know all the details of the next milestone but Eric
said when you go back to the "land of the living" you are in a
forest and i think theres some bandits there. Also in the
next milestone there is going to be the first REAL minigame
(the hacking minigame is a mini- minigame hehe), where you
will get to play a poker like dice game. Kent has been
working on this dice game and it's coming along pretty well.
My last programming task was to implement the functionality
needed to create multiplayer (over the internet) minigames so
Kent is currently implementing that as well as AI for the game
and finishing up the last of the details.
Basically as we get close to the end of this milestone, we'll
start working out the details of our next milestone, grabbing
reference art, making concept art and stuff like that.
Make sense?
Hope this helps, let me know if you have other questions (:

Subject: [project1dev] Art Concepts and Story
Hey everyone!
I wanted to get more info on the current story and art of the
game. So
far I do not see a place to download art that has been
created for new
people like myself to the project. These kinds of things
help me
understand where we are, the style of the game (since i am
here as an
artist), and the feel of the world.
I mentioned to Eric (I think it was Eric) that I do draw as
well.
Since
I last asked, no art has been forthcoming. I never did ask
directly
about the story writing. Do we have any pieces of story to
share? I
have gone through the wiki but forgive me if I missed any
links to the
game story (i have read the overview but it does not give
me any story
of the game to know where it is going).
These things are very crucial for me as an artist. It
makes it more
difficult to create things for the game if I cant visual the
styles and
themes we are going for. If we are lacking concept art,
then Id
like to
help with it. If we are lacking story, I can help with
that as well.
But if we have some of these things already, can anyone
forward this
information to me?
Right now I am trying to really get a grasp on where
exactly the
team is
in the development process. The emails arent very informative
since I
usually dont know what you all are talking about and much
of the times
its just funny messages (which I enjoy reading, lol. They are
just low
on actual useful information for someone new to the team
like me).
Thanks for all the info and help you guys have given so
far. But I am
having a hard time understanding exactly what this game is
about
and in
need of whatever bits of story have been written so far and any
concept
art so I can better understand. Might be worth
constructing some sort
of "newbie" guide or perhaps a cohesive design document for new
folks to
get acquainted with the game and to follow where we are in
development.
Forgive me if i am slow and this info is somewhere I should
have
looked,
but I did not find it.
Thanks in advance!
