[About] I've put a lot of thought into this idea called "Machines of War", and being to start laying out things on paper, something I rarely do. So lets get straight to what this game is about : "Machines of War" is basically a war tycoon with morphs that represents the players. Boring and free model sounding right? Wrong, its a newer type of "tycoon" where you the player will not only have to defend it but also attack the other player's "tycoon"s in order to win, so yeah sound like another mindless sit and wait tycoon game right? Wrong again, there is no money dropper no wait till cash things that some games use, no, this game FORCES the player to move around the battlefield in order to gain more currency. (How to gain it will be explained later on.) Morphs.. ugh sounds like free models and lame stuff right? Wrong again! Geez think will ya?, The morphs in-game represents the what "machine" of war your using, either it be a tank or humvee all the other players will get to see it too, each morph has a set amount of speed, firepower and load capacity that can be upgraded. (Explain later on) There won't even be any buttons in this game for the tycoons! Its all GUI related for the tycoon, meaning its easier to use and user friendly. Win win. [Gameplay Features] FPS and third person modes for most of the vehicle morphs. Up-gradable vehicle morphs and bases. Better physics for the vehicles. More realistic special effects for firing and exploding things, including usage of DynLight. Dust/dirt clouds for some vehicles. CFramed terrain for maximum realism. Sounds for the vehicles, and for every weapon. [Vehicle Morph List] (Small for now, bigger when the game is more formed) SPS = Studs Per Second M1 Abrams : Speed 30 SPS Primary Armament : Tank gun Primary Armament Damage : 25-60 Secondary Armament : 50cal Secondary Armament Damage : 8-20 Health : 500 Humvee : Speed 50 SPS Primary Armament : 50cal Primary Armament Armament Damage : 8-20 Secondary Armament : Must be added via upgrade.

Yeyeyeyeye!!! You're bringing it back! :D Ever need any help, eh... I can't help. :( I have that HUGE project to make. Don't worry about me going off and not finishing it... I finally have inspiration that will linger around a while. Anyway, I'm going to go check it out now... I hope you stick with the simplistic concept with complex details!

Does it have something to do with a 8 mile tall mushroom cloud?

" I hope you stick with the simplistic concept with complex details!" -PW Sounds simple right? It ain't THAT simple coding wise... Don't worry, Its still pretty simple though for the little things.. :3 As you remember from my older project, the structures were a good idea... So I'll still use em, might though change a few up.. Working on adding explosions to the raycasting, also adding higher range.

I didn't say SCRIPTING was simple, I meant the layout of the game... Where you have complex details... that's where the difficult scripting comes into play. Hope you can pull it off. :P But yeah, I'm making a nuclear bomb survival game/guide that should teach people with a fun game. :) But the thing is, ROBLOX cannot handle miles of land... so I'm making everything 5x smaller. The problem now is that ROBLOX has this... cutoff point where nothing renders. It's about 6,000 studs. So if you were 6,000 studs from impact, you wouldn't see anything. -_- Now I'm thinking about a randomly generated post bomb simulation. (Yes, every aspect should be covered) So, if you decide on making this game HUGE, remember: There is about a 6k stud camera cutoff. :l Hope I informed you in some way and wasn't 100% off topic. ;)

I'm not going to make it 3 baseplates wide... Lol, but I'll remember that for the future.

Actually don't know yet. I haven't ask either group for help on this yet, but for right now its not with anyone one yet. Remember how I kept talking about that 500 lined script on sky? Well, its for this game.
