Writing. I'd like to work on the writing.
Thanks for volunteering. I have an idea that you can do in regards to writing. You can draw/setup how the different menus are going to look.
What I mean is that we are going to need a screen/menu for when they launch the game...what will they see. What does the screen look like when the user is filling their vial? What does the HUD look like in a game? Stuff like that.
To go into a little bit more detail:
If you actually decide to help us you and do this, make sure that the following criteria is met:
Vial Selection Screen:
- Needs to have a picture of an empty vial at first which fills up whenever they add the different metals to it. This can be on the left
- On the right hand part of the screen needs to be 8 small pictures of something that represents each metal. Maybe these pictures can be the same pics from the metal chart in the back of the Mistborn books.
- Also, if the user mouses over a picture of pewter, then a small description of pewter, what it does, what is the name of the 'class' that is well known for using it (Thug) and such and such...
Heads Up Display (HUD)
- This is what the user will mostly see. As this will be the items on screen while they are playing the game
- This is going to need the normal stuff (minimap, 'spell' bar, experience bars (for the metals and for general),HP
- We will also have to add things that our game needs. For instance, we will need a smaller picture of a vial which represents how much of each metal the Mistborn still has. Every time 1mL of anything is burned away, then the vial needs to show that difference
I can not think of anything else off the top of my head, but you should get a general idea.
Whenever you are finished with this, can you get it to me somehow? Through email or something?
Three houses in Luthadel? Or perhaps one from the outside (like Cett)? And are we just doing multi-player, or campaigns, rpg, co-op?
As far as the three houses, I don't remember the names of them really. I guess that Cett could work if we can not find three good house names to fight each other in the city. I was sort of thinking that each map in this game will be inspired by a different section of Luthadel.
And on to your other question. Yes the game is going to be FPS multiplayer. RPG would be too complicated as we would have to have voice acting, a ton of different models for the Mistborn to connect with and communicate with. There would have to be a story and a many different levels that would have to be rather large. So for now, it will just be multiplayer games. If this mod actually gets largely popular maybe we can add on a single player section. But for now, we are just focused on multiplayer.
Thanks again for showing interest in this game. I hope that one day soon we can all play it and have a blast together.
