thanx for the replies all
ya definitely my idea will be just a fun time waster...
The graphics on your picture look like preschoolers paper collage. A messy splash of color basically. I think your idea is great but not original since there are already many games which allow you to control sharks to eat humans for example. Some of them are very fun even.
Then again Angry Birds is a direct rip off of Castle attack which has been F2P for decades and they somehow created a brand out of it. People are weird and stupid.
Hungry Sharks is a blast
but NO game out there can you play a multitude of Dinosaurs and other creatures...and just run around eating humans....
most of the textures are a first draft to give a better look then just solid clay color....
although I am closer to being done with the T rex textures..each carnivore will have 2 textures applied a Col and a Bump...with the spec texture as the Alpha map in the Norm/bump texture...the Trex here is 90% finished...
does this look better? except for some seams I got to remove and mouth work I am happy with him.
and absolutely the rag doll effects are a priority...I have working on those the last week or so.....Blender does not have a native ragdoll and the addon for it isn't perfect, I will be using an addon for Unity which is awesome....
there MUST be lots of blood
that will be handled by applying decals....
a Trex attacking a person he would be able to rip the guy in half tear an arm or leg off.....
I aim to make sure it is as realistic as possible when it comes to the dynamics...
so yes you will be able to grab a human throw him in the air catch him and smash him into the ground or just rip his head off and let the body lie there....with blood pouring out his neck hole....that will be done with Particle systems.
you will start the game as a Velociraptor(the real sized one) and as you collect "human Bones" you will up grade attacks and learn new ones....the humans will randomly drop a "golden bone" that will be what you upgrade the carnivore with.
at this point....my plan is to have the Humans start out as caveman some will be aggressive and try and attack you others will just run....
and you will have to eat...your "energy" or "life force" will drop until you die if you do not eat....
as you up grade the carnivores....the humans will get progressively smarter and have more powerful weapons
which is where addons will come in...you will get Armour as the humans grow in there weapon capability...
so the addons I am thinking are along the lines of cool looking armor for the dinos....
on the carnivore selection screen...I plan on when you mouse over a carnivore it will open a new window with all its information....time it lived...average size/weight.....ECT
when you click on a selectable one...IE one that has been "unlocked" it will go to a character sheet, this is where you progress your character....and change armor...ECT ECT
most people I have talked to say I will never be able to do it....it costs 60 million....100 people bla bla bla .......
with today's internet and all the free tools out there....the only thing that will stop me from doing this is death....
I am done with tattooing the public....tattoos are not a "fad" they should not be treated as that....a come in buy one get second half off type of product, and thats exactly what they have become....it makes me sick to my stomach.....I only tattoo friends and family now.
the gaming industry is huge...I plan on taking my piece.....but also giving people what they want in a game.
this is just my first....
