Here I start a new Interactive media Degree project. A prototype of a game idea “Raze Origins”. Focuses on Build-share-interact, customisability of character and unending progress.

Build-share-interact: Build your own level, a village, a castle, a citadel, then let other player play that. You may add enemies, spawn, traps , npcs. Player Will have different resources to build “things” in their level. Level is endlessly expandable.

You may defend an invader or invade with your friends. Perhaps an empty castles while the owner sleeps will give you extra gold and experience.

Character customisation: You don’t really have a choice to learn what skills, but you can decide when a NPC in your level decide to teach you the moves. 

This occurs randomly whether or not during battle or out of battle. The set of skills you can learn are limited by certain number or points, however once being filled, you forgets the oldest while the newest replaces it. This idea allow player to renew their character at progress without a need to “remake”.

Yes, there will be perks, but not as strong as skills.

Unending progress: Imagine Youtube, facebook, twiter; new level keeps coming and changing that were created by the game community.

Style of Game Prototype: 2D Legend of Mana style GUI at low resolution. Real time button matching arcade against mob of enemies. Scifi and fantasy themed, similar to Phantasy Star Online, may includes character orgins of alien and ghost aswell as human, elf, and machine.

Developing Platform?

Flash AS3
Use of p2p Data synchronisation streaming.
XML and database
Ingame level editor.

now I am a God who create world of Raze Origins 4 hours daily…

What can be more exciting than spending time drawing cool digital images?

Alt is trying to learn C++

From doing great in flash, I want to leap forward ^^; hehe
One Good reason is to explore new agriculture such as CUDA (C++ related), C++ accelerated codes to do trillions of object arrays using Nvidia’s GPU. This is call GPGPU (General-Purpose computation on Graphics Processing Units).

The reason being; 512 ALUs that is over 100-200 times normal computing today.
580 ALUs - stream processors is from nvidia’s GTX 580.

My last wish was to create him; a servbot from megaman legend. Maybe year 206x these GPGPU has enough computation power to emulate a brain that process free will and learning ability. If that was possible, for us to overcome robots we much make them weak. (If you actually played Megaman Legends 2, you’ll knowtice servbot are really weak but yet very durable).

There are more than plenty of tutorialz out there !!
