VampireNaomi Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 Originally posted by James Isaac 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. Yeah, you are probably right.
theburglar Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 Yo, I think that it would be easiest to use C++. i know of a few resouces for using it. I am really a noob at C++ because of school. basic vbasic and dark basic are too basic:) .
James Isaac Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 Yeah, you would use C++. Visual Basic is too basic like you said. And is really useful for tools and 2D games. And Dark Basic is also too basic.
Bushmeister Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 I'm not too good with programming, so I wouldn't be able to help. But to be honest, we better be careful, LucasArts do get very touchy with fan projects. The only GF fan project I'd be happy with would be one developed "unofficialy" by Mr. T. Schafer. By the way does anyone know if Tim actually has an idea for a sequel? There is one programmer, Frederick Raynal, who has the entire plot for the sequel to LBA2 written out, but he can't make it because of copyright issues at the moment.
Sallim Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Hey James, I tried C++ and with this I couldt go further then to make an calculator For now I have an another big project (MaxtheGame.de ) , so I don´t know right now, but I think about it =) And really, I haver to learn much more about 3dsmax. At time I reach everything with 3dsmax whta I want, but Character animation is my big problem now. I think everybody here could do a better LSA HQ or somethin else. Its not a big deal =) @Dawidos Thanks =) Great thing that so many people around the world are Adventure Fans =) So cu , I have to cure my sunbrun first *outch* Arthur:bdroid1:
MJ Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 Well... let me have a think. To start with, I'd love to make a Tierra de los Muertos game or movie. And Salim, your pictures are really cool. Heck, I've even gone so far to mapping out a Tierra game and everything... although my version of it was relying on what I can do, it was using Adventure Game Studio and being a fully animated one. So here's the thing: if people are willing, I'd be more than happy to provide the story and voices for a Tierra de los Muertos game or 3D movie. But besides providing story/voices/concept art, I have no knowledge in animating or programming. The easiest way to start would be a test movie with Tomas Encion in it. Or maybe completely animating the Tierra song with Number Two and Tomas Encion signing 'Just the Way you are' Thoughts?
Sallim Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 You know, I more would like to make something for Tierra, just because I think its to hard to make models or 3d scenes with limits for a engine. But a movie would be great. To start with " Just the Way you are" is a good idea, just need all infos you can get =)
frylock Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 i would help make such a game. i could help in pretty much any area besides 3d modelling and programming.
GendoTheGreat Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Here's another wacky notion: before we get started on this thing, let's all get our wills in order first so our families know what to with our earthly possesions after Lucasarts rips our spines out through our chests and feeds us to their president's dogs. Sound like a plan? Let's get to it then. Good times ahead!
Sallim Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Hey GendoTheGreat the optimist =) I know that problem, thats a reason I dont wanna make a GF2, you cannot got trough with that because of LucasArts. Nice Avatar, Ikari I mean GendoTheGreat
GendoTheGreat Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Originally posted by Sallim Hey GendoTheGreat the optimist =) Hey, look who's talking Mr. "Today is the first day of the end of your life." And there's no need to call me by my full screen name; a simple "my Lord and God" will be fine.
Sallim Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Great , that was a good one Gendo. See see... nothin to say , it seems youre are a cool guy Yeah yeah ... little crazy wha..."my Lord and God" Who got rejected by Rei ? =) Maybe I call myself Shinji ... sorry for this offtopic.
pleto4_ryan Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 well...it could be great....the idea of a Grim Fandango 2-fan made is not new...but i am happy to see people full of eager to start the project. I don't want to sound pesimist, but i believe the project will never reach its end. Probably going until the first screens... Whatever we say, projects that start on the net have 99% to end unfinished...and the 1% that does finish, finish after some....years oh well...don't want to break your wings from the start...just be prepared cause many prblems can risen and end for any the project... Ok after this rave of mine.... i am in for the script still can't program but in a year i might have learned just fine the c++
pebsmith Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Please no Grim Fandango 2. The first one is my favorite adventure game and a sequel just cheapens its legacy. I don't even trust LucasArts to make a proper sequel (see: Full Throttle 2). I don't want to discourage people's personal efforts though so if you do go through with this, just don't tell me about it.
Sanspoof Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 I'd be no help. I know no programming and the only game I ever made was in Adventure Game Studio, and it sucked ass. But what would you expect from an 11 year old kid? And I played that demo of GF2 that Raudaschl made (The guy walking about with a gun on a city floor). I thought it was pretty cool.
Bushmeister Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 At last, someone who shares my point of view, yes we all love Grim Fandango, but not everything can have sequels and you just have to grin and bear it!
MJ Posted August 30, 2003 Posted August 30, 2003 A fan made Grim Fandango 2 project is more of a lost cause than... well... Lost Cause. I bet you right now there's someone from LucasArts reading this thread, keeping an eye on us... /me waves Tierra de los Muertos 3D stands a good chance though. Heck, I released the entire radio series and never so much as heard a peep from them.
Sally Limones Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 Hmm... this bears some thought.... I can help with the script. Hell, I'm an aspiring novelist, I can write something.... anything.... but it'd have to be short. Let me know. Or I can sing with the fat lady. Whatever, or maybe design ideas. Yes... I was the one supposed to write a Grim Prequel but... I didn't have as much time on the STUPID COMPUTER *snarls* as I thought I would. -_- But I'm back at school, so I have access there... sally_limones@yahoo.ca ~~Sal
Be.At Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 Oh my... But ya all was thinking of makin` GF2... That's even the idea. So pick up the storyline and everything other and send it to LucasArts damn! I even don't know what's that "Todos..." Oh no! It's Tierra de los Muertos ;-)
Be.At Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 i'm sure there won't become anything if ya all take everything in ya're hands.
Sallim Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 Be.At ? Tierra de los Muertos! Thats its name and its great, so dont miss that. I see..maybe you wana help them for a Grim fandango 2, heh ?=)
