Hello Lads, Tired of blowing endless amounts of cash on a game like EVE Online? Support me so I can construct something better...Something more community based and more driven by what the community wants than compared to what those pesky owners want cough* money.
I hate subscriptions, Same for the remedial need to pay monthly for full access for a video game (My family's been alot happier since I quit lol) and still end up sucking to suck with even more in game losses?
I bring to you project Archon, Nothing I expect to exceed no more than a few hundred players once the project is complete.
Archon is a Gmod constructed multiplayer "gamemode/Addon" that is being completely designed from scratch using Gmod's source engine consisting of space combat, Trade, corporations, and mining.
Me being a single developer (lol I'm taken) makes it hard for me to keep faith in myself to pull off a project this large, so no matter what step I am at or what place I may end up at in this project. Each challenge I'll face will be a new test of my ability and for me to pull it off I will need your unconditional support and faith to keep me on this steady path for something as amazing as this when it finally turns out.
My TO-DO list (Bolded crap is what I am working on)
>Establish a working ship_base. Literally something that flies off of W A S D, Space, Ctrl etc. This ship base will contain all the ship info such as hardpoints, Weapons, Subsystem slots and also allow the assigning of ship specific boosts or penalties. (Literally a straightforward PvP server based off of this would transpire but I want to go the extra mile).
>Create a derma panel (F4 Menu kinda) that would allow you to bring up ship configuration/inventory/market and whatnot.
>Establish an inventory system paired with the ship's cargo capacity and ore hold capacities etc.
>Establish a weapon/subsystem system that would allow for the configuration of vessels to perform more specific roles and whatnot.
>INTEGRATE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART - THE COMBAT SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Oh god, I can feel my servers already waiting to be overloaded and whatnot, But it's not completely impossible.
>Create the server cluster that would create the actual galaxy itself...128 slots(0/128 players) a Sector(Server), 8 systems in a Sector, 4 Sectors in a quadrant, 4 quadrants in a galaxy (16 sectors, 96 systems, 2048 total player carrying capacity. The systems that stray further and further from the galaxy's epicenter would lower in security factor.
To interconnect all of the servers, We'll have long distance relay gates that'd forward you to the sector(Different server) the same way you would normally join a game.
>Start taking in public requests for changes to the Gamemode itself. (Maybe I'll have a few extra developers on hand by then lol, and maybe a more serious form of server hosting
>Incorporate NPCs
>Incorporate a serverside faction server ( Wardecs and whatever the hell )
IF THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR SOURCE, AND WHATEVER ELSE THERE MAY BE, I WILL DIVE COMPLETELY INTO DESIGNING MY ENTIRE OWN PLATFORM AND CREATE AN MMO OF THIS SIZE! BUT I DO NEED YOUR SUPPORT, FEEDBACK, REQUESTS, DEV to DEV HELP, AND THE OVERALL SUPPORT OF A COMMUNITY. DON'T LET ME QUIT BECAUSE THE VERY PROGRESSION OF THIS DEPENDS ON YOU AND YOUR HONEST THOUGHTS, SUPPORT, AND FEEDBACK!
