Thread: MasterRussian 3D

We(EffMah and I, that is) have decided to make a 3D game for fun. At present we've got no idea what type of game it'll be or what kind of story it'll have, though we're thinking FPS, or possibly adventure, but we'd like to have the main character be Russian. So we don't inadvertently throw several un-Russian inaccuracies into the game, we'll probably rely on the forum to check stuff Anyhow, does anyone have any suggestions? BTW, it would be awesome if somebody could come up with witty Russian one-liners for the hero to say.

P.S. Dogboy, don't feel bad that we didn't let you beta test. It's only closed beta until we actually have some sort of game.

Какой компьюерный язык. Мне кажется, что надо использовать Java. Я могу помочь. Я недавно закончил text-based игра, которая называется, "Поиск Ленивецов." Вас зовут "Спуд." Вы должен убить всех и надо спасать принцесу. Жалко, но сейчас я немогу изпользовать cyrillic с моими програмами для Java.

Eh, I sound n00b(and in the world of programming, I am), but we're using Reality Factory to do it until I know enough C++ to begin working with Crystal Space or something else. Reality Factory used to have a nice site but now their site is simply ugly with a bad interface: http://www.realityfactory.ca/

Basically it's got everything coded in already but you can use your own maps, models, etc. and rewrite stuff with scripts. The technology is, alas, a bit dated-looking(think Quake 2 era), but it's OK. We're not trying to sell our game or anything, it's just for fun.

I'd like to use CS(http://crystal.sourceforge.net/) but I don't want to(nor do I know how to) reprogram a mouse interface, weapons, AI, and so on for the game. I'll keep it in mind until I actually know enough C++ to work with it.

About Java I don't know of any open source 3D engines written with it, and I'm certainly not going to code my own 3D engine. I don't know nearly enough maths to even try to(and if I managed to code one, it'd be some ugly Doom-esque thing).

About using Cyrillic with Java, you need to turn on Unicode support for programs, then it'll work. Go to Control Panel -> Regional and Language Option -> Advanced and it should say something about Unicode, select Russian, you're good. Now I can even input Cyrillic into my C++ programs

You know, I used to make text-based games with BASIC a long time ago too Alas, my only finished game was "Winnetou and Old Shatterhand Abenteuer", which was an SNES-style RPG. My other never-finished project was "All Your Base 3D", which actually has a website and screenshots floating around somewhere on the net.

That's a great idea!!! I'm waiting impatiently for it's release. Is it going to be a role playing game with a lot of interesting and funny dialogues (the type I like the most)?

I suggest that you take VendingMachine as his prototype

Friendy, you're head of our cult for good reason! Have you been spying on our IMs? As a matter of fact, we did suggest structuring this character around VendingMachine. He would growl obscenities and one-liners behind the fire of his automatic weapon! And there would be a scene where something explodes behind him and he dives to the ground in slow-motion. We actually thought of making him a "loose cannon" type of cop, but that would be a bit offensive to his years on the force. Anyhow, source material would be appreciated.

It will if you help us with a story and setting! Otherwise it'll be a game where VendingMachine runs around shooting things.

It would also be nice if someone here knew how to make textures for the models I'm building. I'm trying to learn how to make good textures at the moment, but I really should focus on making cool models. DevTeam is hurting, but willing to push on into the unseen future.

I'm not at all familiar with using pre-built engines like Quake. Though I do learn things... The required knowledges is being downloaded into my neural processor right now!

Great idea, just don't forget to give credit to MasterRussian kidding

You know, an action/adventure game where you, the heroic, dashing Prince of Somalia, run through a land of gray windows, red MR buttons, and smileys, fight evildoers, and learn some Russian in the process wouldn't be half bad! Kidding. Although it's just a for-fun project, we can certainly include MasterRussian and contributors in the credits

Smartdude: Yeah, but RF is child's play. You just make a map, textures, models, write a bunch of scripts, and you have a 3D game. No need to program in input interface and all of those other things.

EffMah: You sound weird on the forums. I guess you're more suited to the short, fragmented style that instant messaging services allow you to use.

Ok, then I'd be willing to help however you may or may not need me.

Cool! Do you know how to texture or map?

That is still downloading... (I'm not confident in my abilities at all!)

So when you say you're going to "help," you actually mean that you're going to have Pravit and EffMah teach you how to program.

ROFL rofl rofl, Линдзи. Вот мое развлечение дня !

@ Pravit. Why don't you make it where you are the cop on the mean streets of Siberia Kazakhstan, and you have to go around pick pocketing tourists so you can successfully bribe them for their passport and visas back after you already have them in jail ? The more peoples lives you ruin, the faster you get promoted, untill you are the leader of spetsnaz and you leading raids against the District Atournies trying to slam Micheal Jackson. And, you ultimately become prime minister of Canada.

Dogboy...I have no words.

BRILLIANT. ПРОСТО BRILLIANT.

Pardon the language, but GOD DAMN!

Leave me the hell alone already!
I know how to program. I have worked on one production game already.
It is called Ninestar Horizons.
I do things like this, it is what I do. I also learn Russian. I am a tad arrogant. But I do know what I'm talking about quite often.
The End.

Respectfully Yours,

If you're so "respectfully mine," why are you taking God's name in vain?

Ah, Ninestar Horizons...I...um...saw that at BestBuy last week. Riiight.

If you're going to display your arrogance in public, you have to expect someone to come along with a pin to deflate the ego. It's the way of the world, and isn't it better to learn this via message board instead of when some guy pounds the crap out of you in a bar?

Its not a popular game. and I'm not exactly sure where I'm being so arrogant. (I suppose if I did i wouldn't be.)

Well heh, . It's not all me. Kazakhstan deserves some credit... Whenever you have Kazakhstan in a story, you know it's gold. It's a wonder more people don't use it!

You called yourself arrogant. I was responding to your own comment about yourself.

Arr. I'm not pulling this stuff out of thin air, kiddo.
