[MMO - Hero / Torque Engine] Age of Darkness

[Nickwahh]

N&N Tech Online is looking to assemble a team for a new and innovative MMORPG game that is already under development!


The game itself is an MMORPG, Age of Darkness, which will change the way you think of a MMORPG. It is developed/published all by ourselves. Our budget is low because we are 100% independent but since we are very dedicated to this, we pay from our own pockets for the server, programs, copyright, and etc... We also have advibe.com going to assist us on our website.

Age of Darkness itself is very unique MMORPG. It's based in a Medieval/Fantasy time, where darkness has set foot in the world. The class system itself is half-sandbox. You start by picking an archetype; warrior, priest, mage, rogue, hunter, and more! Then for example if you pick a mage, you can level up a skill;. You level up Strength as a mage and you can become a battlemage, or level up agility and have faster casting spells / instant cast. Or maybe as a priest you decide to level up Defense and become a plate wearer healer! Then again, you can mix and match. The Mob AI itself is very dynamic. Depending on your playstyle, the mobsters act different to you. Maybe you like circling the mobster and attack from behind, then the mobster learns and starts to stun you and try to cripple you so you can't circle him or maybe you like to burst damage so the mobster will start to cast protect spells and survive from you then try to run away from you.

We also want each player to be different from another, so players can choose different animations for each action they perform. For example if they got a "Double Strike", the animation has a default animation but players can unlock different animations to perform so it can be different than other players but then again the animation must be unique than another spell.
Another very unique feature we would want to have is to actually stream yourself live on the web. Currently people stream live their gameplay of the games on websites; justin.tv and ustream.tv and others. What we want to do is have a ingame feature to stream the gameplay to a host(Maybe we can host it in future). This will bring an enormous amount of public attention to use.

We have over 100+ unique features no other MMO has to offer!

Key Features:
• In Depth Character Customization
• World Contribution Quests (that will change the world around you as you play)
• Heroic War Zone
• Ever shaping world
• Special Abilities
• Half-Sandbox Classes
• Quested Tech Trees
• Races
• Combat System
• Trade System
• Professions & Crafting
• Banks
• Auction Houses
• Instanced Dungeons
• Arenas
• Dueling
• And More!


We are ALSO in contact with Hero Engine to collaborate a deal to use their technology, if that doesn't go through then we plan to use the award-winning Torque Engine.


Setting:
Fantasy / Medieval World


Compensation:
For now there is no payments for joining and working with the team, but, once the game is launched, all your efforts will be rewarded with wages and other compensations. Plus this is an excellent opportunity to work with an experienced developer on what will no doubt grow to be an extremely popular project. N&N Tech itself has a great team together which just act like a bunch of friends together for a good time!


Team:
Nick – Game Director / Programmer
Jr – Programmer
Captain Scrat - Community Manager
Wilex - 3D Artist
James – Lead Composer
Ben - Composer
Aaron – Web Designer / Concept Artist
Matthew – Video Editor

We are mainly looking for new and aspiring talents in the next fields: Concept Artists - 3D Artists - Animators - Characters Artists - Programmers - Writers and much more! Please check out the website for more information!

Feedback:
ENCOURAGING ONLY PLEASE

Sounds too good... If you pull this off I'll be impressed.

[Nickwahh]

It was well into development (Playable Stage), but then we decided to get another game engine(Way to many problems with original engine, also not a lot of graphic enhancements).

But yeah with the deal we may pull with Hero Engine, we can get this going no problem but will take time.

[Demonkunga]

Sounds interesting. Keep me posted. I wouldn't mind being a part of this project.

[2dgreengiant]

Seems like a project that actually might go somewhere good luck

[Kubiatsu]

Sounds cool, but no offence it looks like a complete WoW rip. Everything you said sounds the same, apart from a few minor additions.

[L'Lawliet]

kubiatsu everything seems like a wow rip to everyone. that is what a mmorpg is! its quest, battles, raids and such. wow is not the only one. wow copied other mmorpgs before them to.

I came here to write "You're won't get this finished", but this sounds not so bad I think that this project CAN go somewhere!

That's not true. Yes every MMO has the same foundations of raids, PvP, and quests, but not every MMO has to have exactly the same classes as WoW and be fantasy/medieval/middleages themed. Why play this game when WoW has all that already? Aswell as it already having ALL of the things that are bullet pointed.

Im not flaming, im making a extremely important point.

[L'Lawliet]

yet, this is free. there is a bigger point...

[Kubiatsu]

Free isn't a reason, there are hundreds of free MMOs with these features but they all suck, and that's pretty much a fact. Why? Funding... sooner or later the game company needs to make money to pay its developers and buy new software & hardware if it is going to expand and increase its users (which is every games goal). Money is everything in the games industry, and its not cheap.

Just to point this out, World of Warcraft is a AAA Game with Millions of dollars of investment into it, so uhm... why would I EVEN EVEN think about competing with WoW since we are a Indie Company? Also money issue is not really that big, but all our team members are 100% non-paid until the game brings funding. We are spending most funding to our game engine (Torque or Hero Engine), and server.



Also everybody, we already got 15+ members active in our team, and got over 30+ more applications to look through. This is going really far and we are going to wrap up a Teaser Video very very soon! We got the music set from our Lead Composer and etc...

[Kubiatsu]

I didn't actually mention that you are trying to compete with WoW at all, don't know where you read that. But goodluck anyway.

Torque can be downloaded so go with Hero engine tbh

Yeah we are in discussion with Torque for pricing/availability during this time, within the end of this week we might head to a conclusion.
