Max Calavera Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 allright everybody, i know im new here but i just had a golden idea! why dont WE make GF2??? we do it like in small steps, making a plan, a story, which WE as a community approve. that way there wont be a crappy story, as the people make it! i prose we start with a story, a general storyline without the dialogue, when thats finished the acts (years) of the game and locations. then add characters and puzzles and dialogue. one step at a time, not continuing until the last part is PERFECT and everybody agrees with it. when that is done, the story and dialogue is finished we could even try to convince lucasarts to make the game! ---------------------------- my suggestions about the game: a return of glottis, not as a main character but rather as a npc which you visit. perhaps he has his own garage now? NO manny..hes gone.. ----------------------------- or is my idea bullsh*t??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Calavera Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 allright lets see if i can think up a story here.. you are..Sonny Caliente (hot sonny ) You are a gangster in rubacava, it has been 50 years since the discovery of the DoD plot and people got angry and plundered DoD offices every where. The DoD boat has been captured by mobsters ( maximino perhaps, or his succesor) who control most of rubacava. one day you get accused stealing from the family and you need to escape and prove your innocence to maximino(or his succesor).. a little about rubacava the boat is more of a floating house then a boat nowadays, as it doesnt sail anymore, and its an gambling house. mannys old casino is a club for snobs..no more gambling, just a bar. the blue casktet stays the blue casket, albeit with a few changes. the high roller lounge is also still there, now with a direct view on the tracks (like a balcony). suggestions?

James Isaac Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I would like to (I could programme) but we would get a "Cease and Decist" thing from LucasArts because it is illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Calavera Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 well basicly we make a plan, a story and present it to lucasarts..or else we make a non commercial mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Non-commercial mods and fan games have been shut down by LucasArts in the past - in fact, one of them might have been a Grim Fandango related one. I personally dislike the idea of a fan version anyway. Not to be mean or anything, but most of us lack the time and ability to make anything worthwhile related to Grim Fandango. Games take a huge, paid team and many months/years to complete games for a reason y'know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawidos Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Actually , I am waiting for really Grim Fandango 2. Maybe prequel , maybe sequel , that doesn't matter, I'm waiting . But Max idea is good . If somebody has imagination ,he 'll create a interesting game . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 The other alternative is to make a computer game that closely resembles Grim Fandango... say like something based on the Nightlight radio series 'Tierra de los Muertos' I didn't get a cease and desist order from LucasArts about that radio series. Probably because I didn't use the title or any of the characters from Grim Fandango. I'd make the game myself, but I lack the programming knowledge.

James Isaac Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I am going to learn C++ and maybe LUA. When I do, I might try to do a quick Grim Fandango attempt. And btw, I saw this person who was trying to make a GF2. And he released a demo. You could walk round with this 3D guy and it actually was quite good. But he got a cease and decist letter. I have the demo on my site though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sallim Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Hello everybody, so ...or 8 of 12 I had the same idea, and I want to ask you if I could use some ideas from "Tierra de los Muertos" I just can modelling with 3dsMAX and here some pics from my favorite 3dsmax forum.de I don´t have my own server so I hope the Admin don´t kill me. I try to build the HQ of the LSA, and try also some animation on my Salvador. It isn´t easy and I´am not very good soo... I have a dream, that you 8 of 12 could do all the audio stuff for the characters, because till now I have to use the ingame voices But this just a dream =) I would like to make a "Tierra de los Muertos" very much, but someone have to make the 3d engine =) A new world, a new entviroment. If you have ideas for some places, I would like to model this things, no for a new Game maybe, but for a little trailer or Movie. Think about it. Here my beta LSA, there are shots from many states of my work so dont mind some bugs. And the avi files, are tests too! And I know he just stays on one place Character animationm, and mouth animation is pretty difficult for a noob like me. ( links gone for webspace reason So 8 of 12 what do you think about a 3d Tierra de los Muertos. I would be pleased if I can use some of the settings in there, just need some ideas =) Arthur / Sallim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Wow, those look fantastic Sallim. Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Dude. That is fucking amazing! And the obscenity isn't gratuitous in the slightest. It would be an absolutely fantastic idea to make a short game or something based on Tierra de los Muertos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallim Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 This is just this room so far... Its pretty many work to make somthing so exaklty like in the game. If you have your own idea its more easier. There are many "bugs" The last version (with all the fog in the room and the posters on the wall have just little bigs. But things like the keyboard of the LSA Computer just to damm difficult,I could do it...but so much work. I feel like the angelitos in their caves making light bulbs with litte tools Argh Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theburglar Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 GF required a loto work. They purposely made it so there could be no sequel. This really sux, but oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallim Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Right, its one whole story... And if you could make a GF 2, can you bring all these atmosphere in the game? I think its pretty hard or almost impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Great work. If you can develop what you've done for (at the very least) some sexy wallpapers, you've achieved a lot. Going further into an actual game would just be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallim Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 You know what? I would like to do some wallpapers,if you want. But there is one problem, I have just the LSA HQ. If you have ideas in what way thinks have to stay in the room, oer something like that, say it and I´ll try my best to realise the scene. I make this, because I missed some happening in the HQ in the game. But to make a game, and rendering some scenes are very differnet things. In my scene I can have millions ( little less ^^ ) of polygons and great bump maps, but in a game you have rules....but thats another story. I dont know much about make a game, but there are tools like Dark Basic. Yeah yeah..so Iam away right now... We drive to the seeeeeee ^_______^ Happy awaking all =) CU Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Isaac Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Wow. Those are great! I wish I could do that - I had a go with 3D studio max, but I wasn't at all good with it. And I can probably be a programmer for you. Because I have a good knowledge of Visual Basic and SLUDGE, but I am learning C++. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Great ideas and stuff you all have here, but I have one question. If you actually manage to pull this of what is the fun in playing the game then? I mean, wouldn't it be kind of dull if you already knew the plot, puzzles, characters and everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Isaac Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 It will be fun for the people who didn't make it so therefore don't know the story etc. You could say the same thing about any company - What is teh point in making any game if you know the story: 1)It is fun for other people 2) It is sort of fun to make games.
