Plan for Charles D'Arienzo
by Charles D'Arienzo · 07/03/2001 (12:04 pm) · 0 comments
well, if you have read my last 2 or 3 plan updates as of late you'll remember they were about my experences with the development of a mod called Hostile Intent (.net)
i dont think ill be writing about that for a while as, well, its almost complete and things are moving along very well for it (and reading about good stuff happening is never interesting anyway, right?)
well, not to long ago i met up with a joe on this network and he and i began talking.
before ya know it we were tight and wanted to develop games for fame, fortune, and profit (well, not me. him. i just want to make bloody games and have enough mad freaky cash to feed myself)
his name is mark by the way and off he went into the great land of game engines and the lisencing of them (while other would call it the selling of the soul for a piece of tech)
i thought about developing our own. while thats the best bet who wants to spend a year or more creating tools.
id rather use that year of time for development.
so off mark goes into the land of lisencing and comes back with his kill. a couple neato engines.
the first was the Net Immerse 3D engine. nice and flashy. smooth and clean. i liked it.
the second was Lithtech 3.0. not as flashy. not as smooth. not as clean. but designed for a FPS enviroment we all know and love so much (cough BS cough)
so, we went with lithtech. net immerse was nice but not dedicated to fps's. net immerse is being used on such games as bridge commander and ab's oddasy.
so anywho, mark breaks a couple balls and gets lithtech on a trial bases for 12 months with full and total support. WHOO HOO
now its my turn. need a team right? yes sir!
so i ask some of my most talented buddies
"hey bro. want to make a game?"
"umm...is it paying?"
"down the line yeah"
"why not"
shabang. has a team in 24 hours. 6 men including myself covering every aspect of game development (except office bitch. apply within: pinforok@rochester.rr.com)
this happened about a month ago. i sat down and fleshed out a design (and gained a little something called repeatitive stress disorder. now i have to wear a wrist brace. blast)
next is the game plan. who does what, when, where, how, and does he need assistance from this person or this person at this time in this irc channel (yeppers, net based businesses for now. gotta love it. no rich uncle here)
oh the stress. OHHH the coffee. my colan is as black as a coal mine from all the coffee...maybe i can make diamonds? hmmmm
well, thats all for now. ill be back in a week or so.
:D
