I've been thinking about a city project. It's not a collaboration,
but something new and exciting! Alright, it's kind of a collaboration.
The idea is that someone (that would probably be me) creates a base
for other designers to add onto. The base would consist of the core of
a city and a grand and expansive items database.This base would be
uploaded someplace where anyone could download it for their own use.
The base would have at least 4 "gates" to other parts of the city. A
designer would create their level, in whatever flavor they so desired,
and then upload the parts to be added on. The base creator would
update the package, etc. etc.
The base maintainer would keep track of who is working on what area
and using what level numbers, etc.
Ideally, designers would put one or more gates in their section to yet
other sections that are yet unexplored. The city could grow
exponentially.
As creator of a section, you would be welcome to do whatever you
wanted - choose whatever graphics style add NPCs, quests, combats etc.
The only caveats would be - (1) You have to continue the resolution
established and and viewport znd bigpic sizes. (2) You're not allowed
to change anybody elses section but you can collaborate (3) Keep it
PG-13, i.e. fit for consumption by 13 year olds and older.
If this sounds interesting to you, or if you would just like to share
tips and tricks for creating a city in DC, visit the thread at the
Ironworks forum. It's also a great place to ask any questions you
might have about creating a city.
