Well, good luck, but this really should go in general. Also, rather than a game of 20 questions, why don't you tell us about it first?

Ok you want to hear about the game. Well in Xeon The Beginning You start off with 4 or 5 characters if you join "Doom" but if you choose to join the "Rebellion" you only 2 people.

Still with me...OK

You characters can be a Servile, a Shaper (he creates creatures and shapes weapons)... You there?

Two things:

1) You are hardly coherent. I have bits and pieces of words, but no really clear flow of thought.

2) This game sounds like fodder for copyright infringement. For now, I'll leave this topic open and give you a chance to address these issues.

If you want to create a game that has some elements of Avernum and GF, use BoA. You can't quite get the GF engine, but you can definitely use GF graphics, and you won't actually be committing an illegal act, nor will you have to go through the effort of creating your own game engine, which is quite a hassle in itself.

Gosh are you a...a....a moderator or somthing?

EDIT: Also here are other choices for characters Archers, Soilders, Wizards, Healers and a few other I am debating...

But first of all using the BOA editor... well I can't seen to get it to work on my copy of BoA and if I do that I won't get any money!

They are both moderators.

The problem lies in the fact that you have done very little to explain whatever it is you are trying to do. If you are, as you appear to indicate, talking about the creation of some kind of game, it might help if you gave us the premise or better yet, gave us a reason to care. It may sound harsh, but you haven't given nearly enough information for any kind of opinion.

EDIT: Oops. Accidently hit reply to early.

OK I will try harder to explain my whole thought process of the game Xeon, The Beginning. So when you start of you can either choose to join the "Doom" army as 4 or 5 privets which will go on "special" missions having to with fighting the Rebels, If you join the Rebels you get 1 or 2 Rebel adventurers who are fight for peace and harmony agaist the evil guy "Doom" (King Doom).

That better

Post back here when you have screenshots. Until then, any discussion is probably quite premature.

You have to upload images to a web server before you can post them; spiderweb doesn't host images.

Plus if you are hoping to make money by using geneforge/avernum, forget it.

How can you stop me from doing that? Besides I was not going to USE Geneforge or Avernum to actually create my game just as an INSPIRATION for it!

If you take elements from Geneforge and Avernum and make a profit, Jeff Vogel will eventually find out. Jeff Vogel will then sue you for all the money you made. Since you'll have no money and some costs, you'll be in trouble. It's better if you just think creatively.

No double posting, please. Consider this your warning.

It doesn't matter. If I decide to make a game that's a thiny veiled game based on Super Mario Bros. then Nintendo has a right to take away all my profits. It's called copyright infringement. Jeff owns the Shapers, Serviles, and all those creations. You cannot make money off of them without his permission.

Not that you probably will anyway. You are barely coherent on these boards, I doubt your game would be much better. Also, the basic outlines you've given (King Doom) sounds pretty weak.

Because it is illegal if it borrows too many elements, that's why. Besides, if the game is going to be good enough to make people actually want to pay for it, the inspiration will have to come from you and not stuff that is exactly like what's already out there.

XxX, it sounds like an interesting concept. It reminded me to go play some of Geneforge, some of Avernum, and some BoA. Thanks!

XxX, I don't quite understand why you're posting this here. I mean, it's nice that you're making a copyright-infringing low-quality game and all, but where does this board enter into it?

What did you mean by making this a poll, anyway?

You think Jeff will give me permission to make a "crappy" game then? If I certainly cannot do you still think Jeff will mind and how can he sue me I think I'm a little young to be sued.

EDIT: I am posting here to let people know about game and for suggestions. Here is what a Dagger will probably look like (I will shrink it though)

-X- gives XxX two "Marisela" point in -X-'s Big Book O' Personality Classification for your complete ignorance of what is legal and not, and for having something similar to -X-'s name.

-X- also gives XxX a "Plm" point for his incoherency and ignorance of the forum etiquette.

-X- is also erasing all previous entries into his Big Book O' Personality Classification for reasons best known to -X-.

Have you watched any of the court shows? Judge Judy, Judge Joe Brown, etc.? If you did, you'd know that ANYONE can be sued. Whether you're 2 or 22. It's just that, being so young, your parents would have to pay for it. Then you'd probably be grounded for next 1200 years.

I do know where you're coming from though. In fact, I once was pondering doing the same thing you're attempting to do.

Then I hit the age of 12, and snapped myself back into the real world. Trust me, even if you complete this project, it won't work. No matter how much daydreaming and scheming you put into it.

That said, carrying on with this project is copyright infringement, which happens to be a criminal offense. It's no better then thievery, and, in a court of law, will generally be treated as such.

--------------------
I tried to think of something witty to put here.

Needless to say, I failed.

Yeah I am actually pretty fond of Judge Brown. What if I gave old Jeff all the money. I just like the game.

XxX

EDIT: OK I'm only...(Do I really wanna do this) 10 so what do you expect a huge master pice of graphical gaming. I am still working on names and stuff. Also I have ABSOLOUTLEY no idea how to create a game so I am learning with C++ which is hope-fully the one Jeff used.

I think all talk of copyright infringement and lawsuits is a bit premature. First you need to have actually programmed something. Graphics can come later.

Do you know how to program? What have you programmed so far? How much planning have you done for the technical parts of this game? Anyone can come up with a plot and "borrow" mechanics from another game, but how much work have you done and how much work can you do?

—Alorael, who is sure Jeff would be happy to take any money you made. That assumes, of course, that you make any money. Poor writing, poor plot, and stolen game mechanics are a poor recipe for success. Although you've actually given virtually no information about plot, so that may be an unfair extrapolation from lack of information.
