A brief history of the FAQ Section 1: The Game --------------------------------- 1.1 What is the Raydeal game? The Raydeal game is a game based on the recently released Raydeal game engine, also known as the Nottingham engine. The idea is to create a much more stategic and expanded Deathmatch. In other words, people will now not only be in charge of their own survival, but will also control bases, defenses, etc. Teams of people will be pitted against eachother, in charge of capturing their oppenents base (or in a larger game, multiple bases). Hopefully, the end result will be a ten on ten all out strategic war, all in real-time 3-d. It'll probably take a lot longer than a normal deathmatch. Environments will be mostly outdoor forests and the like, while base will be interior DOOM like buildings. Obviously levels will all be a lot more complex in the real game. The game will be developed to run across the internet. Various computers will link into a server for a game. It may be developed on Win95, but a DOS version will probably be availible first. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.2 What still needs to be done to the game? Debugging. The engine needs to be completely debugged before we get wildadding new features -TGOM[1] Networking- I think this game should definitely be an Internet game- it should also be playable over IPX networks. Windows Port- This really ought to be finished. Coding networking in Windows would be a lot easier, as it could just be a Winsock app. Level Editor plus Levels- A friend of mine wrote an editor a while ago but it sucked (took me about three hours of hand editing to get his level to work). A rewrite might be neccesary. We also thought about random level generation, but that might be really impossible. I think and editor is easier. A lot of object coding- we need to setup how more defenses work, as well as a system for placing them on the map. Sound- just need to add support for other cards, plus some original tunes written by other people Graphics- we need better textures ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----- 1.3 How will the game be marketed? We have no commercial publisher. We do not want one. The game will be marketed freeware. This last list sounds like a lot, but consider that if we're not up to coding these, we can move on, since it doesn't have a commercial publisher. I think it'd be a good idea to get an early version availible as soon as possible to build some hype. ----------------------------------------------------------------- --------- 1.4 Who is involved with the game already? Currently, the de facto project leaders are myself (Matt Howard) and Gene Buckle. This is only because, for the moment, we're the ones doing the most work. Here is the complete list of people involved: Matt Howard (weirdo@primenet.com) Project creator & engine coder Gene Buckle (u-gwb@nta.com) Head communications coder and the man with the plan. (NOT! I'm the [1]Token Grouchy Old Man)(Sure Gene. Oh, and the big vision at the bottom was written by, who?) Brian Cowan (cowanb@limestone.kosone.com) Enthusiastic coder ready to do anything Dave Cornish (dmc@nwrain.net) The head artist so far Andrew Warnick (awarnick@wwdc.com) Willing to code net stuff and also editor Robert Parenton <parenton@airmail.net> Artist/Coder William Forsche <wforsche@athenet.net> Artist / Model maker Matt Douglass (mdouglass@earthlink.net) Code Optimizer? Josh Glazer (VBunny@aol.com) ???? ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- 1.5 How do I get involved? What's in it for me? To become a coder, artist, musician, etc, all you have to do is mail me. Tell me what parts of the game you would like to work on, and I will get you in touch with the right people. What do you get out of it? NOT MONEY. That's right. Since we're making the game for free, no one's gonna get any cash. BUT, YOU GET RECOGNITION. Game companies are constantly looking, almost above all other factors, for people who've been involved on successful, completed projects. This project can get you that. It also shows you are a creative person will to take risks. In other words, be involved on this project could be a great way to break into the game industry. Moreover, you get to be involved in a cutting edge production on the sole condition that you're interested. Ya just can't find that many other places. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------- 1.6 Misc: There is a discussion channel on us.undernet.org called #raydeal. Either me (handle theweirdo) or Gene (tspectre) are almost always there. 1.7 The Future: --------------- Raydeal: The Vision. (or, "what other neat and impossible to code things can I think of this afternoon?") by Gene Buckle Imagine a game that had all the strategic elements of boardgames like Risk or computer games like Empire, with all the in-your-face death and destruction that Doom offers. Sound good? That's what I'd like to see this game evolve into. The game should not be constrained to only person to person ground combat. We can add vehichles! Just think of the fun you could have in a tank battle. Tanks would be great, but why not add small teams with mortars or howitzers? From there, things like mine fields could be added to add just the right amount of terror to the ground pounders attacking your base! The vehicle concept can be taken another step further by adding small helicopters and airplanes. Now not only does Johnny Grunt have to worry about tanks, trucks and minefields, but he as to look up as well to make sure he doesn't get strafed by that crazy bastard flying the airplane at 250 feet off the deck. Helicopters could be used to insert multi-player teams behind enemy lines for a little behind the scenes special forces work. From this, we can add all sorts of nasty little goodies. Things like LAAW and TOW missle launchers, pillboxes with fixed guns (you can aim it, but you can't take it with you), pit traps, etc. Another expansion should be some kind of economic scale. This would entail team leaders having to buy (or steal!) equipment for their team. Assets should not be inexhaustable either. If a player decides to waste a few dozen planes in suicide missions against another players' fortress, those planes are *gone* until his "factories" can build new planes, or he can buy or steal replacements. This would add a bit more "realism" to the game as it's played out. Players could respawn immediately if killed, but if they were driving a tank at the time, they've got to either obtain another one from the motor pool, or steal one from another unsuspecting player. Mercenary forces can also be used for those players that don't want to align themselves with a particular team. This opens up the possibilty of groups of mercenary players attacking resupply convoys and reselling the goods to the highest bidder. A black market of sorts. This would also add a nice touch of realism to the game. There are limitless possibilities for the game as it stands, and if we work together on this, a lot of it can become a reality! As you can see, my particular vision for
