5th playable race: Mechro - IDEAS FOR RYZOM

#23 Added by Soularis(arispotle) 1 decade ago [en]

I am curious what is required for making a totally new Ryzom2 game?
It is time for the next generation game-sequal, where players can jump and dive with their characters (and maybe dodge and block/cover as well) as much as they like to. Make a map that's 3D in every sense of the world, where you can travel unlimited east or west and going underwater or maybe even into space, so you will have this feeling you are on a planet, instead of a square flat discworld.
So who would I have to talk to set these wheels into motion?

I have been looking through the images from your link and noticed there that the current races have only male legends/leaders and not one woman. Wouldn't it be cool if the Mechro race had a female leader, matriarch or a queenbee so to speak??

Ummm... Loria??

Aye, check again for the trykers.

And well, even if it isn't a race, karavans and trytonists both have Jena very high up on their leaderboards. And she looks quite femaleish, especially in the face and chest regions.

"It's shite being tryker! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of Atys! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some people hate the Matis. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete arseholes. It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Marceline, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any ****** difference"

Money can be obtained if you put the Ryzom2 project on:

Couldn't stop thinking about how to make the planet map happen:
If you take a huge icosahedron (20sided die), take the triangular face, divide this triangle into 4 smaller equally sized triangles, lift the center smaller triangle a bit up, and you have an 80 sided triangular surface that's closer to a sphere. You can then divide the smaller triangle into 4 even smaller triangles, lift the center triangle a bit to match the sphere and you have 320-sided triangular surface. Do the division again (1280) and again (5120) and again (20480) etc. you should eventually get a surface, where you move from one triangular face to another triangular face, where the angular shift of your toon isn't noticable! :D
Then, just as in Minecraft, let players edit this humongous map triangle by triangle!

Entering the final hours of my digital life I wanted to say farewell as Soularis and what better place to do than in my most active thread, shamelessly bumping it as an extra bonus. As I typ this message, icosahedrons are orbiting eachother in the back of my mind, representing the sun, the Saturn-like planet and its moons, one of them being Atys, hoping one day someone will pick these wild ideas up,

In my previous post I imagined that each triangular face had its gravity straight down, but now I have come to the realisation that it is far more realistic to have the gravity point in a slight angle towards the center of the icosahedron. Also having fellow rounded icosahedral moons orbiting the rounded icosahedral planet in turn orbiting the rounded icosahedral shiny sun, would give a much more amazing realistic sight of the night sky than just a floating PNG-image;P.

Alas, a homin can only be truly happy when he is dead and then another unhappy one rises and continues the whining. Soularis bids thee farewell!
