Dark Rival Dead

That's right.
Dark Rival is no more.
Why? I don't see a need for it anymore. Zodiac is headed in the same direction DR was, and lets face it. I was, for the most part, alone on it.
But rather than give up, I've decided to change the name of the server, and the content. Dark Rival is now known as Legend, however, it will not be anything like DR, or any other graal server to date.


The server would have a top down perspective. Players would move using the mouse to aim/point to the right direction, the up and down buttons to move, and the left and right buttons to strafe. It will have a real combat type of gameplay. The view would be so players could only see ahead of them, and could not see anyone behind them. It will simulate a ‘first person’ perspective.

It would be based in the near future, with a war between 4 nations. Players would be randomly divided up into teams, and would compete for money. Players get money by killing another player. They get some of the other player’s money, along with a constant amount. They can then use this money to buy more weapons, or ammo, or they may put it toward their team. The team with the most money at the end wins. The team with the most kills gets money added for each kill it has more than the second place team in terms of kills). If your team wins, your player gains exp. Otherwise, you don’t. Exp improves speed, aim, attack (for melee combat), defense, and other stats. These stats stay with the player, as well as most of the weapons you can buy (some are for that match only).

There will be a large variety of weapons, and each will have a main and secondary attack. You will be able to scroll through your weapons with a mouse wheel, or with a ‘Q’ menu. The player will start off with a simple Pistol, and melee attacks. They will be able to equip 2 melee weapons at a time, however these must be bought. (knives, katars, swords, beam swords, etc). Some weapons, such as the pistol, can be double equipped.

Players will have to decide if they want to spend their money, or use it to win the match. Because of this, there will be some strategy, and pressure from the team. There will also be a lo of skill involved, and an rpg system. It will be a unique, fun, and fast server, with combat, competitions, events (to break up the action), sparring, and a continuing exp and ranking system, along with a global competition for the most kills, and best rank.

Yeah, I've decided graal isn't the right outlet for DR. I may get ahold of a 3d engine for that.
But enough about that.
I see this as a unique game. I've posted more details in other forums that I can't llink to, but I'll probably end up talking about them here anyway.
This server will take place in the not tooo distant future. New weapons and vehicles will be used, as well as larger weapons, such as missiles, even space based weaponry, planes, space craft, etc. It will be a very multi dimentional server-flying above the levels, even going under some of them

If you want to go for a 3d engine and you already know GS2, then go for Torque Game Engine. I personally have Torque and I have to admit it's pretty good for a bunch of uses and it's small price for indie developers.

If you're trying to go for something top-down go for Torque Game Builder, it's even easier to use then the Torque Game Engine, as well as the fact that it's usage is for 2d games. I have that too.

Oh and if you didn't know GS2 = Torque.
I believe Graal was made under Torque if I remember correctly.

Stan, you me, and shad were among the only people who liked DR as a graal server.
Legend will be more fun imo. I had planned on removing DR from graal eventually anyway
As for Legend, I'm having a hell of a time doing anything online, so I'm going to have to develope some stuff offline.
Stefan, this is why a new level editor that supports gs2 is NEEDED
So basically, I'm gonna test some ideas in gs1, then transfer them to gs2 and hoe they work. I also have made a few idle stances of a really simple character. I need to start on the tileset, scripts, basically everything XD
