would you play it?
if it was free to play?
would you buy addons?
how much would you be willing to spend on addons?
I appreciate the intelligence on these boards....and could use some critique...and outside input.
I have begun to learn C# and python for this....so it is still a ways off....if I knew scripting I could have it done tomorrow.... :rofl
ok maybe not tomorrow but hell I have all the game objects created except a few minor ones....
I have gotten fast with animating I am happy with my progress on learning that, I am confident the animations will be smooth and fine by time the finished product comes out...
Unity reads Blender files natively. so it is a perfect match up. :rock
so from telling me I suk and should hang it up to advice on better lighting....I would like to hear our thoughts.
same with the way I did my skins....only with you guys saying what needed to get better was I able to pull them off.....

well considering that we dont really know what the game is about. i wouldnt buy any addons.
dont be so negative about your programing skills. give a little more info about what the game is about and less about why you are having bit of a hard time doing it.
at the very least do it for the fun and perhaps maybe you can earn a couple of hundred bucks and that will be a plus. after all your game wont be so stupid as to throw a bird with a slingshot to break some blocks, is it?

you don't know what its about :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch:
I thought a picture speaks a thousands words....
I used 2 words "Eat Humans"
and a picture scene with a couple different dinosaurs and a Megalodon shark.....and a shot of a Trex going after a human.......
............ :cry :bhead :bhead :bhead :cry

that still doesnt tell me anything. is there a story to follow. are you gonna have just a ring with some dinosaurs and humans wrestling with trees in the middle. are humans gonna have niki's giving them air support?....do the sharks have fricking lazer beams we can buy with add ons?
are the two dinosaurs in the bottom gonna give each other the reach around?

hell yea I would play this. Some of the best games in the Indy market are ones that are totally stupid and keep you laughing and coming back. For these types of games, the price point needs to be low - free with in game content to buy, like a new dinosaur that has new kill combos or abilities for .99 or 1.50 depending.
I think in the Indy game people are willing to do small transactions in order to enhance play, provided its something fun and unique. the trick is to make a game so inciting that all those small transactions add up into something big.
Nice art work man.

Thanx Blu...and ya thats what I am thinking.......its gotta be fun...pointless silly fun....as bodies are ripped in half :D

Cool!!!
So..whats it about?

@ink
I have begun to learn C# and python for this... I have all the game objects created except a few minor ones.
If you have started learning programming than you are probably long way to go before creating a useful game that would make somebody to play more than lets say 20-30 minutes (assuming you have great idea and you actually made something that works)
Developing a good software takes time.
if it was free to play?
would you buy addons?
how much would you be willing to spend on addons?
See... According to the quote before, you are beginner (at least this is what I can understand). You already have started thinking how do I make a money from writing a game - it is a guaranteed way to fail.
More than that, there are many-many games on the market. High quality ones with many man-years work spent on them.
So the chances that you'll be able to sell something are virtually 0.
You should think: how do I make a cool game, what should it have, make sure that the game actually works well. Learn game development, create good games and maybe someday you'll be able to make some profit from it. But the is a huge way in front of you, and "how it sell" is the last thing that should interest you at this point.

If Angry Birds can be a mega hit, there's no reason this couldn't be. It's going to come down to your programming I'd think.
I'm not sure if I'd buy add ons for something like this, just because the premise makes it more of a time waster game.

I was very upset with BF4 when I heard there WASN'T going to be a dinosaurs mode. This will certainly help me fill the gap that was left by that! ;)

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.

If this is going to be a mobile game, it could be brilliant.... enable it to capture a face from a pic taken from your smartphone, then the game inserts that face onto the human meal for the various nasty teethy critters, sorta like South Park when they put a photo of Saddam Hussein's head on a cartoon body...

That way you can spend the afternoon hunting down and ripping to bits that jerk in the next cube who irritates you at work!

you can make it a subplot that your tattoos come to life... Tattoosarus! See a little old lady needing help across the street blocked by a bunch of skaters? Hit the T-Rex to clear the streets and the Tweety Bird to help her cross the street.

its really about the character model. I want some rigidity to the human as he falls to the ground, but no such that it looks fake. and a good amount of blood squirt. enough to paint the t rexs mouth but not so much that it looks exaggerated. and the ocean needs a good wave model so the blood water looks real. Also, please include a tail sweep and maybe that dinosaur with a spike club for a tail.
:salute

thanx for the replies all :salute
ya definitely my idea will be just a fun time waster...

Hungry Sharks is a blast :rock
but NO game out there can you play a multitude of Dinosaurs and other creatures...and just run around eating humans.... :D
most of the textures are a first draft to give a better look then just solid clay color.... :aok
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.
(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w246/fieldsofink/Trex_zpsca607285.png) (http://s178.photobucket.com/user/fieldsofink/media/Trex_zpsca607285.png.html)
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 :t
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.... :t

So which monsters are perked is the first important question :old:
And are there any Brewster type monsters which should not be as good as they should be :old:
Is there a high res pack?

it's your game man. I'll play it then tell you what I think :) Then I'll post it on FB and the Twit machine and tell all my acquaintances there to give it whirl :cheers:

I'd say change the picture, since it sort of looks like one T-rex is humping the other.

Looks interesting! Needs some kind of hook tho,maybe an easter egg type thing,not sure.
So when you get to level 10 do you get the perked asteroid and make 99% extinct?

What platform are you thinking of developing this for? Personally, I would think this type of game would be better suited as a social mobile game.
ack-ack

Can't say for sure that it would be a game that I would be interested, more into the strategy stuff. But I think it is very cool that is something you are creating yourself. The dino models look great. Good luck. :salute

I was actually hoping you would chim in...I know what you do for work, so you have far more knowledge then most....especially me :rofl :rofl
for now I am only thinking of the PC....Unity can do the phones and Ipads so it is something that could be adapted to the Mobile platforms.
