I am 14. I always wanted to be a game maker, and found it impossible with the amount of patience I have. Although, I now find my impatience as a gift. I am very good at knowing things look good, and when you combine this with me being impatient, you get a very quick, and beautiful result. I am current obsessed with the Anime SAO (Sword Art Online). I am creating GGO by myself, with the help of some friends and family to work out some systems etc. This game will be like, but not replicate, the games seen in the anime Sword Art Online. I do hope I can release more info soon, but I just started working on it about a week ago, and barely go anything down. Let's just say that all of my time has been going into doodles and more for the statistics and environment of the game! Hope to see you online when this game is released! ~Justin
My Blogs
Welcome back for our second update!
So let me start off by saying- we might have lost ALL progress since the last blog. BUTT! It should be all good because I feel as if there has been more progress made since last time. I also worked out some ideas.
This game is going to be free- FOR THE FIRST FIVE LEVELS. Every level PACK (level packs are 5 levels) after will cost money to unlock, bringing a brand new theme and feel to the mmorpg.
So that brings us to the next point. Our first free level pack is going to be Japan themed! This will give you the feel of going to Japan without actually going to Japan- get it?
Now for some screenshots-
Early Screenshot of the new map!!! :))))
Also we are working on getting the website demo of our map up. Its been hard because I am not really sure how to do it since dropbox changed so if anyone can help it would be awesome!! The website it partly up though!
Ok lets start our first blog with a nice greeting ~
Hello Questers, Mages, Knights, Archerers, etc. I just want to give you basically an idea of what this project is and some things that we have been working on! So lets start!
What is Galgorath Online, and how did the idea start?
Galgorath Online is set to be the worlds first fully interactive VRMMORPG. The idea kinda started a while ago, but I will get to the story in a second. Let's go over some of the aspects of the game.
- There will be tons of skills, some I can tell you know and some you will have to wait for the actual game to come out to know. Some examples are - Cooking, Firemaking, Woodcutting, Alchemy, Magic, Attack, Defense, Archery, Thievery, Gardening, etc. Of course there is so may more skills than this, but I am only releasing this for now.
- Choose your own class! You get to pick between Archery, Wizardry, and Swordsman!
- Potion system- maybe not the most exciting thing to talk about- but like other skills you will need a group to survive. Potions in this game do not give you more health or mana or stamina, they give you buffs such as more defense, etc. So that means your gonna need a cook in your Guild/Group.
- Realistic Style Crafting- Cooking, Alchemy, etc. Its all gonna feel real and depending on how you work, your result will be affected by it.
Of course there is much more I could release, but what is the fun of that? Lets move to how immersive this game is going to be. We are hopefully going to use these three additives to the VR world. We are hoping to use the- Oculus Rift(Eye Gear, Head Tracking System), Prio VR(Body tracking system), and the Virtuix Omni(Running/Walking Treadmill Tracker). This will make a fully immersive experience, or at least the closest thing we can get to NerveGear. Let's allow that to bring us into our next topic
How did you get the idea for Galgorath Online?
Galgorath Online actually started as a scratch project, because I was a big scratch person when I started game development. I don't know if it was that I loved 2D zelda games so much, or if it was because of the compelling Wizard101 facebook update that they had. But I quickly fell in love with their development system. So actually, if you click this link ( Scratch.mit.edu ) it will bring you to the start of The Land of Galgorath, or what it was going to be until I found out cloud variables weren't all cracked up to what people made them. But moving on-
What are the coolest features that are within the game at this moment?
At this moment not many. I mean, I literally just started making the map 3D after working on the sketches for days so I can only say little. The most I could put out is what was previously shared- the portal
Also this project is using the amazing Unity Asset- SkyProject! SkyProject is one of the best sky systems i've been and I have to tell you, for being free this is one hell of an asset. Weather, Environmental changes and more is just thrilling to use!
What can we expect for the first level?
Well before I answer that, lets go over the level system. Unlike in the Anime Sword Art Online (Of which this project is somewhat based off of), it will have massive floors. I mean, in SAO there was level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, all the way up to 100. With my game, on Floor 1, it is meant for levels 1-20. Get it? So the portal leading to the next level is only accessible to players level 20 or greater. This is because floor 2 is meant for levels 21-40.
So now moving on to what will be on the first level. Of course you can play the games without going through one of them , but there will be One dungeon located on floor 1. This will be a dungeon kinda like runescape. I say this because don't think if someone beats the boss, its beaten for everyone. You will find about 3 small Towns/Villages. You can find Housing Areas, Monsters, and stuff to gather. Dont forget the portal XD!
What will keep players coming back to Floor 1?
Ok lets take the skill Alchemy. Say (NOT ACTUAL BREW) you need two Miona Mushrooms for a protection potion. They are ONLY found on Floor 1, therefore, this will keep players searching for the objects they need and coming to different floors for necessities like in SAO!
How about a monster sneak peek ?
