Character Types

#1 First and foremost, I'm not stating anything official because that's not my position on this matter, but I will be working as close as possible on this subject with the RW project.

As of right now, the team is mainly focusing on stabilizing the gameplay and mechanics elements of the game (HtH Combat, Magic System, GUI, etc.) as well as some art aspects (though I'm not clear here myself). We will be hoping to get work started on the next new character type for the next build (as per the next milestone which is currently in development) which may be either a Golem or the Minotaur.

I myself have been working on concepting new characters for the game, and though I'm not for certain at this point, I believe that once we have more solid mechanics in place (as well as more production time in the art section of development) that character development will be more under way.

As always, you should keep an eye on the website at http://www.realmwarsgame.com for more up-to-date information on what's being worked on. Also, James Margaris is heading up the team so he would be able to clear up any questions more reliably. :)

On a clearer note and to answer your main question, so far it's been determined that besides the elf and orc that the following characters may/will come in the future:

Humans (priest/paladin, thief/rogue(?))
Golems (May or may not be available as PC?)
Minotaurs
Demonic Race (?)
Undead Race (Under discussion?)
Kul Narii (psionics, big bug-like creatures)

There are other plans to incorporate more characters as well (see the Character Class Ideas posting in the design area in the Tasks Section on the project page here at GG for a small list).

I hope I answered your question as best as possible, meanwhile if you would like to offer your skills as a developer on the project, please visit the Website or the Realm Wars Community Project Page for more details on joining. Otherwise, feel free to enjoy the current builds as they are released, downloadable from the website.

Thank you,

#2 Thanks Christopher for your response,

I actually have already submitted a logo concept to Pascal Boss. While he expressed a liking for it he suggested I post a sample here on the forum for feedback. So far there hasn't been much response at all. When I queried Pascal I got no response either. I'm guessing you guys are occupied at the moment with getting the next build ready.

I do conceptual designs and would like to contributed in whatever area y'all deem more pressing. At the moment I'm working on a Man-ape monster type I plan to submit. But I have concerns about submitting material at all. It seems there's alot of conceptual design work being submitted and I have doubts about a backlog building up and whether any of my material would make it into the game.

Who decides what gets into the game and how can I be sure I'm not wasting time by submitting designs to the project?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I've tried for several days to get on the Realmwars website but keep getting the 'page not found' placard. Is the site down?

#3 N R, the isp that hosts the website is doing something, the website has been up and down for a while, hopefully it will stabilize again soon.

If you want to make sure you aren't wasting your time submitting designs take it slow. Don't spend a long time on a finished design and then submit it. First submit rough drafts and get feedback on them.

There will always be more concepts than there are in-game objects, even in the best case scenario. But if you want to maximize the usefullness of your concepts, check in early and often with them.
