Hey. Here's some info on the names:
Eien - A japanese word, meaning immortality.
Infinity's Tale - This is what I'm calling the other project I'm working on, an actual computer game. Guiness World Record for World's Longest Game Contestant... heh. I really don't want people picking this one, because of GraalOnline's TOS (all material submitted becomes property of CyberJoueurs Inc...), but I am in indescision because this is my favourite choice.
YAPP (Yet Another Playerworld Project) - There's quite a few things this is a pun of. There's software, websites, etc. with the YA label, but this wouldn't be what I'd call this if it got chosen. It'd just be the "Unix Name" of it.
Satatsu - Random correlation of japanese characters. I didn't think anyone would pick this one, but, hey, anything's possible.
Tomorrow - I just wrote this down on a whim. If this was chosen, I wouldn't argue... but I wouldn't necessarily like it, either.
Truth - Another whim, this one a bit better.
Solemn Destiny - This is what the project was originally called, after about 30 name changes, and two reforms. I stuck this one in for good measure.
Euphoria is a good name, but it wouldn't fit with the style of my campaign (originally a G.M.). I should drop a few details (copied from a post (on another forum) by my co-owner, who has since left the project):
This is an mixed game, containing several worlds. Each is in a different theme; some are futuristic, some medeval, some made completely out of cheese (j/k) etc. Each one of these worlds is actually the work of a structured splinter of the delelopment team. At the start, it'll all be from the main team, but different worlds may end up going in different directions.
All trade is player-to-player automated, meaning that the seller sets up a shop that the buyer can purchsae from at their own pace. Weapons exist in many different forms, swords, bows, knives, poles, guns, proton cannons... yeah, proton cannons. You actually HAVE to get a job to make money, and you can either build the houses that you live in, or rent an apartment (which you pay by the sleep, so there'll be no charges while you're offline.)
There are races, each of which has it's own advantages and disadvantages. Humans are NOT one of them., just so you can't be biased. Also, there are "fields of study", equivalent to classes of other games. You have a Knowledge level in each field, and when it's maxed out, going to bed will result in a level-up (to explain the level-up recovery effect). You can equip all kinds of things, and, as an added bonus, an early side-quest allows for a complete loss of encumbrance penalties.
Speaking of quests, there'll be 20 when we first go public, and those are just the plot-developing ones. The story will advance in the form of "Acts", one Act being equivalent to a new section of the main world, Equus, that you've explored.
Many more things will be posted on the subject, I just thought I'd start you off. You can flame me... now. |

It's obvious the only weapons anyone will use are the futuristic ones. Seeing as how there is no weapon from the past that would be stronger than one from the future.
