Archaic: A New Beginning
 

Welcome to the land of Archaic..A land torn within itself.

Archaic used to be a land of peace, walking amoungst the streets you
would find everyday normal things such as people setting up markets,
people selling goods, and warriors of the old nation of Archaic
patrolling the streets. All was well until, the King of Archaic, King Armacious died.
He had three sons
From the beginning the land of Archaic sensed trouble. Each one of the
sons was greedy in his own way. Two of the sons, twins, Aldark and Melhelm each took half
of the the land the king had ruled. Eager for his own piece of land, Lexion, the third
brother, took a group of believers into the desert land, where no one had ever dared to
go during the King's rule. To the great surprise of Lexion, he found the desert, though harsh,
having 20 hours of sunlight in a day, to be filled with giant masses of priceless gold. Word
spread, and he quickly built up a population of people in this land easily as large as
the ones of his brothers, and they learned to adapt to the climate.
When the twins recieved word of this, they were furious, and repeatedly tried to convince
the third brother to let them in on his treasures, to no avail.
To this day the twin brothers try to get at Lexion's wealth.
Aldark and Melhem are twins, but can be very different. Aldark rules a land of mountains
in a militaristic manner, while Melhem has a grassy land of farms and fields. The twins
sometimes disagree, but keep on very good terms with each other and help each other out.
The same could be said for their people. They often visit the other lands, sometimes
disagree on things, but always remain close allies.

So basically I'm wondering what you people think of the storyline and the concept house that I attached. We will be buying a server Monday when its available. We have a good group of people helping.

I am the Manager of the server, also Mark is Manager, both of us own it. We are going to hopefully make a server to out-do every server out and coming (Oasis). I will not post a staff list b/c well there is alot of people really helping. I will give names later on.

P.S. Thanks to Mark. ;)

Very nice... ;o

Good luck gaining the money in order to pay for a private server.

Thank you, also we already have the money.

Server I look forward to seeing ATD;
Oasis
SA
Archaic


Good luck.

I think it should turn out good, me and Spanky have been working on pulling it all together. We arent sure about whether or not we will use terrain generator or not...
But what we have is nice, we need scriptors too, feel free to pm me or spanky if you want to apply.

Ze house, I like eet.

I hope you can have a fast development pace, so we dont have to wait ages to see this.

So is ''All Descent Level Makers Look Here'' A seperate project, or did you just want to see who was good enough out there.

Seperate

Me like =)

Story is awsome, howevere I don't see that big of a conflict going, but I guess you'll get to that.
House looks pretty good as well

I have some graphices laying around from projects I did before, i'll see if I can find them. :)

I'm just trying to figure out how many times that I've seen overly dark houses and a premise about a city that was once good but was torn apart by something. Do you guys need any help with NPC's?

uh yes, as a matter of fact we do need NPC makers...and as for gfx people, yes. I think we might make a small tileset(consisting of only 30-40 tiles) and use gfx to make the rest of the detail. About how hard is it to get a terrain generator and successfully use it? I know Gaia has one that they are using.

Hope this doesn't suffer the same fate as Krynn

Hah, nah, inactivity killed Krynn. I think with this playerworld renting a lot more playerworlds will be going up because they can be tested now.

Krynn WAS up, it was private.

About as hard as pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL twice. (try it;))

::trys::

XD lol so is that a yes its hard? or no its not? o.o

I liked,good luck.

thanks, osrs, what do you do, script?

Nice, indeed.

Yes.

Good Luck. I still dont understand why a bunch of you talented people dont team up and make a good project. But I love that house. Stefan said you can use the terrain generator but you cant have 2k2 graphics I think. Im not sure though. Ask him for it.

There making their own gfx ;)

Yea we make our own Graphics.


Jagen will you message me on aim?

I disabled the use of ctrl+alt+del twice on my computer in the regrestry. :O

Yea, hey osrs, would you be interested in scripting for us? Or anyone else?

kewl, i don't think you should use terrain.

No. I've used it before and it is very easy to use, and is quite basic. :)

then where the hell do i get on?
i am professionally paying someone to basically remake GKs whole tileset.

:rolleyes: A gmap is rather simple to use. You do not need terran gen, it is not only illegal to have, but it is outdated. Making a gmap with that is a very unwise decision, but you can because I believe Graal still may support it. As for getting it, no you cannot legally get it. But, you can custom make a gmap and then accurately make a nice world by adjusting heights in game.

A gmap should only be about 4 lines long, without using terrain gen. With terrain gen, it adds much useless information, because the heights are now stored on levels rather then the gmap.

So, you should learn more about the gmaps from another.

As for hiring graphics people, we'll see how well that goes.

House - looks nice, few things which are taking from the quality. The roo***p tiles need that outline removed, it makes them appear detatched from each other, looks not close enough to a house. The shading apears very well done for individual structures, but you need to look at a total shading as well.

Basicly, work more on how you show the outlines, like make it a dark brown rather then black. Also work on overall shading.

That is about it.

Uhm wow dude, yea, I am having someone make one for me then. I am focusing one GFX right now, just wondering but me and spanky were talking, do you guys like Graal Kingdoms? Like the outline of it and what not?

Hehe, you will have trouble copying the layout of Graal Kingdoms without one of the best scripters in Graal. You will need a new version of the MUD essentially, scripted. The mud is the most complex thing I have seen in Graal, and controls almost every aspect of Graal Kingdoms...

All I am saying, try not to become a lousy rip off of GK. This PW seems to have a good potential, especially with paying people do make your stuff...so I would make something original if I was you.

I don't like Graal Kingdoms. I cant stand the terrain or the graphic. I like more cartoony graphics like oasis and Shifting Ages. Something about GK just rubs me the wrong way.

This is definately going to interesting.
The guy you hired is definately very good, and if you are so motivated to spend that much money, you probably won't drop this project in half a year.
The story, of course, also sounds pretty promising.

house looks awesome :)

I HATE KINGDOMS! I don't want the server to be anything like it. Just wanted all of you to know that.

Yes, thanks Loriel, means a lot coming from you <3. I think the way we are headed, this server should do very well..I would post some more gfx as of late, but I want it to be a surprise. What we lack right now is scripters, I am sure once the levels are done we will find some good ones.

I am professionally having a tileset made, although the ones that graal players make often look nice, I would rather go with something a little more promising.

Spanky gets a little disgruntled about kingdoms because he sucks there, and wolfs always pwn him. XD

Spanky really nice GFX's :)
Graal is going to be changed foreva :P

hate to break it to ya but shifting ages uses a terrain too

Yes, but not as much. Soul-Blade uses a lot of different tiles and such and thus gives shape to his levels while the g2k2-terrain levels only consist of not-so-flat ground, and random NPCs.
