1)It is fun for other people

2) It is sort of fun to make games.

 

Yeah, you are probably right. :)

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.

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*

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?

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 =)

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!

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 :rolleyes:

 

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 :D still can't program but in a year i might have learned just fine the c++ ;)

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.

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.

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.

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...
