I joined Wildfire Games around the end of 2003 and we've been making good progress with our 3D Real-Time Strategy game and I was just wondering what you guys thought of it so far: http://www.wildfiregames.com/0ad/alb...hp?pic_id=8866
There are more screenshots and concepts, but that's the most recent. |

I was a member of Tsunami Studios and someone in TS had joined WFG before me. He eventually told me about it and I, later, applied. He didn't do much work except converse some ideas with me and left at some point. So, I took his job hehe.
Yea, we are shooting for a quality between AOM and AOE3. I can always wish it can look as good as AOE3, but I know it won't. At least, not our first release hehe. Maybe a second or third. And Woodie, wouldn't YOU like to know... Actually, I'm embarrassed to even say lol. I do it mostly because it's good for that ol resume and because I'm finally capable of making a game work the way I want it to. That's the main reason the whole team is in it plus some people want to see if they can do it. Obviously, we CAN do it as we do have something worth showing, but it's far from done. We are currently in search of more programmers to help lighten the load. Technically, this game will be better than AOE3 though. The RMS and AI scripting language (which I'm in charge of) is much more easier to use and powerful at the same time. And people like Woodie would druel at the scenario editor  . The game engine is completely data-driven which means very few things are hardcoded which allows any joe schmoe to modify aspects of it.Think of it as a game built to allow people to mod it. Create your own scenario, random map, ai, units, buildings, gui, civs, you can basically create your own game if you are crazy enough .

I dropped out of college because I had to move during my first semester (I do plan on going back at some point), and my HS was the cheapest thing when it came to computer classes. What helped me was that the HS had access to a collegiate library which gave me access to many computer books which allowed me to teach myself whatever I was willing to read hehe.
No graphic design. My weakness is art. We have others to do the art. I'm merely a programmer. |

I remember you sending me a pic of that when you were working on it. You'll have to send it to me so I can try it out =)
The game looks pretty good. Can't really tell much, seeing as how Strategy games are much more about the strategy than the graphics. The graphics look pretty good, though. If you disregard how everything is a bit out of proportion :| |

AO games aren't really in proportion either
. If you go with literal size, you'd get claustrophobic and the game would really suck hehe. Of course, the other reason the game doesn't look more polished is that it's like 20% done. The game looks more complete than it really is. Our designers try their best with the poor excuse of a scenario editor to make the screenshots look as topnotch as possible. Of course, the scenario editor will kickass when done, but with everything that's just starting out, we have to live with it until the programmers get things done which is why we need MORE PROGRAMMERS!!!! hehe. The Game Design Document is like reading a book and the programmer's TODO list would drop anyone's jaws if they never experienced game development. Lots to do sadly.

looks like good work, it is fairly similar to aom gfx and this point has been made, it was the first thing that came into my head when i saw it
 otherwise im very impressed with this and it looks good.

don't know how many of you care about random map scripts, but here's a simple example of how our scripts will look like:
Code:
players = new PlayerAll();
new Map(208, tGrass, 10);
mapRadius = new Area();
mapRadius.setRadius(.4);
mapRadius.create();
midCircle = new Area();
midCircle.setRadius(.05);
midCircle.setLoc(.5,.5);
midCircle.create();
playerPlacers * = mapRadius.getBorder(players.getPlayerCount());
playerAreas * * = new Array(players.getPlayerCount());
playerAreaGroup = new AreaGroup();
midConnections *= new Array(players.getPlayerCount());
midConnGroup * *= new AreaGroup();
for(i=1;i <= players.getPlayerCount();i++) {
* *playerAreas[i] = new Area();
* *playerAreas[i].setLoc(playerPlacers[i-1]);
* *playerAreaGroup.addArea(playerAreas[i]);
* *
* *midConnections[i] = new AreaConnection([playerAreas[i], midCircle]);
* *midConnGroup.addArea(midConnections[i]);
}
playerSurface = new Surface(playerAreaGroup);
playerSurface.setTerrain(tGrass);
playerSurface.setElevation(30,30);
playerSurface.addTerrainLayer(tCliff, .1);
playerAreaGroup.setRadius(.05);
playerAreaGroup.create();
midConnSurface = new Surface(midConnGroup);
midConnSurface.setTerrain(tGrass);
midConnSurface.addElevationAlignment(.2);
midConnGroup.setPercentage(1);
midConnGroup.create();
randomLakes = new Water();
randomLakes.setType(tWater);
randomLakes.setSize(.2);
lakeSurface = new Surface(randomLakes);
lakeSurface.setDepth(10);
lakeSurface.setTerrain(tShore);
lakeConstraint = new Constraint(randomLakes);
lakeConstraint.avoidArea(playerAreaGroup, .05, .5);
lakeConstraint.avoidTerrain(tWater, .2, .5);
randomLakes.create(round(1.5 * players.getPlayerCount()));
randomForest = new Area();
randomForest.setSize(.2);
forestSurface = new Surface(randomForest);
forestSurface.setTerrain(tForest);
forestConstraint = new Constraint(randomForest);
forestConstraint.avoidImpassable(.2, .5);
forestConstraint.avoidArea(playerAreaGroup, .05, .5);
randomForest.create(7 ** players.getPlayerCount());

yeah its defo beyond my comprehension, and I would imagine the vast number of people here! but thats why you have programmers, to do stuff that mere mortals dont understand.
