[Devlog] Burning Heart (a narrative campaign for 0 A.D.)

[lilypoppy]

Hey everyone,

For the past month, I've been working on a project: a narrative campaign for 0 A.D., focused on Viriathus and the Lusitanian resistance against Rome.

In-depth research, focusing primarily on Appian's *The Spanish Wars*

Why : 

Because 0 A.D. clearly lacks a narrative campaign, and because the development faces significant technical and resource-related challenges. If this work can help the community, that in itself is a success for me.

My goal :

My goal is to create a story people will play, while discovering 0 A.D. But also to help the developers with my experience, through reports, and above all to create a reference for future scenario creation.

For the past month, we've been working on the scenario. I already have 8 contributors on the project. Huge thanks to them.

Release :

The goal is to release Scenario 1. No official date yet, but I'll post an update every two weeks here, and also on Reddit.

Also :

This project isn't to release it as quickly as possible, but rather to ensure quality and also learn things like programming, digital painting,music, and collaboration.

Thanks !

I imagine you have a narrative script. Thinking about what will happen and what you will say in each scenario.

I see you added the hinges as I told you, but small metal screws wouldn't be invented until over 1500 years later!! Don't underestimate these details

I have the scenarios, the objective plans, and the gameplay. I'm working on how cinematics work, and I'm also looking for voice-over — not easy, but I have ideas. https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/168855-campaign-idea-with-the-iberians-–-looking-for-feedback-and-editor-tips/
