My latest project is Legends of the Fall. A few of you may have seen the movie, but I have scraped that original version awhile ago. This is the far greatest project I have attempted to work on. Here's a very basic rundown:
Features include:
¤ A game engine that can keep track of age (up to 30), class, brad pitt level (damage modifers), mountain climbing, and also the standard stuff like experience, extra ludlows, arrows/fireballs, etc.
¤ Large, X-plorable lands, complete with towns, caves, rivers, and more.
¤ A way to export your character into other Legends of the Fall engine based worlds. This allows for people to make games using the LotF engine.
¤ Lots of quests, sheriffs, dungeons, secrets, and all that standard American jive.
Planned Legends of the Fall related releases:
Legends of the Fall
Legends of the Fall: Demo
Legends of the Fall Forever: The Legend of the Eternal Fall
Legends of the Fall Construction Kit (for creating worlds with the DL engine)
Here's a super keen document for those who are interested in contributing to this project (written in ZZT):
Tristan Ludlow wants YOU!!!!1
Seriously, Legends of the Fall is a big project,
and I could really use some help. If your
willing, send an email to
DooPenguin88@aol.com. Here's what i'll
need:
Music Writers - The game needs a lot of
great music, so I need some great music
writers. I prefer original music, not
converted.
Artists - Legends of the Fall has to look nice,
so artists are vital to the project.
Artists would mainly be creating
scenes, where music, men, and all
that stuff would be added in later.
Programmers - Not sure what's left to be
"programmed" per say, but sheriffs,
NPC's, and the such need to be made.
Writers/Thinkers - Ideas on certain
plains, trains, NPC's, etc. are
very helpful.
Beta Testers - Not needed yet, but I will
need them when the game nears completion.
Things you should know:
1. Because a status bar is placed on
every screen, there is a lot of board
size problems that have to be delt with.
2. Legends of the Fall needs to be top-notch in
all areas.
3. Everyone who helps out (artists, music
writers, etc.) will get a special in-game
gift.
4. I'll ask you for a sample of your
work if I haven't seen it already.
Again, email me at DooPenguin88@aol.com
if your interested in doing something.
