GPNM Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I've been a long-time lurker and I truly respect what you guys are doing here! It looks awesome so far!Just wanted to see if there's any chance of integrating some FPS gameplay into 0 AD.So far, the only game I've seen like that (aside from Battlezone) is Rise and Fall Civilizations at War.But that was mediocre...In any case, I can't wait to see more about this game (crossing fingers for a demo at some point)!!!

Mythos_Ruler Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Welcome to the status of ex-lurker, GPNM! If we were to add elements from other game genres to 0 A.D., they'd most likely come from the RPG, MMO, and/or the city-building genres. Like you said, adding elements of FPS in a game doesn't necessarily make it better. Rise & Fall is pretty mediocre and the FPS elements didn't really help.

GPNM Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 You've got a pretty good point there...that being said, I would love to see a good game with a mix of FPS/RTS.It's good to hear though, that you guys are open to adding RPG/City-building features!

Mythos_Ruler Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 If we add any additional features from other genres, they will have to come some time after the 1.0 release of the game. The current game design is nearly complete, with only some filling-in required when we run across something not thought of in the game design document.

Danta Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 i have also been a long time lurker.. and it has some merit the idea... but probably best too keep it as basic as possible initially... and tehn to kinda... get more into perfecting it?

omicron1 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 My perfect RTS would be a combination of Pharaoh and Age of Empires, with just one faction, but with civilization modification choices (similar to AoM's god system) at every age-up.The idea of adding an FPS mode has merit, but only in light of a much slower overall gameplay. Otherwise it would be too easy to lose track of the global situation whilst mucking about in first person. In fact, in a slower RTS having something to do for distraction could have a very positive effect. But in a typical speed-oriented game it's more annoying than welcome.

Mythos_Ruler Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 My ideal RTS would include elements of "Age of Empires", "Rome:Total War", and city-builders, all wrapped up into an MMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos_Ruler Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hello Brother Impeached. Long time no see.I wish your site had more info on actual gameplay mechanics, but perhaps that's just the hobbyist game developer in me talking.
