Hello, we (gag-studio) are working on a 3rd person shooter called Starcraft - The Infinant War, based off the RTS Starcraft and possibly Brood War. We are looking for ANY HELP. If you have a talent, visit our forums and let us know. You could be temporary help or even become a team member.

percent complete: |||||||||||||||||||| 5%

Detail: You get to choose any race (Terran, Zerg, Protoss) and role play for the race in a 3ps. We have made the Basic engine for Terran Marine so far, and still have MUCH to do. We would like help



our forums:
http://forums.gag-studios.net/
remember: We are looking for almost everyone. Anyone from AI programming to Voice acting.

wish us luck!
We will be updating!

The window says Infinative War.

I think some more details on what the game will do, what will make it special ect. will really help people decide if we want to follow this project or not. Also consider copyright issues (Blizzard tends to kill down fan projects) before you embark on such a project.

Out of curiosity how many people is "we" and "gag-studios"?

Just to let you know team requests are generally frowned upon, but maybe they'll let this slide.

PS Infinite is the proper spelling

thanks for the replys! The game name...was rescently Infinative, The game name is going to be changed to The Eternal War.
What (will) makes this game special:
Quote: "Starcraft at totally new perspective. Missions for all races. Massive Battles/Stradigy is needed. Role play as a charector. Classic Starcraft heros in game (Jim Raynor for instance), Multiplayer possibly with 16 players max WITH different modes (CTF, FFA, TDM, SCENARIO, ETC), ability to make custom maps to play online. Ultimate 1p gaming experience (voice acting, cinematic music, graphics, etc)"


As far as copyright issues, the game itself will be Free to play, and we will be informing Blizzard about us, and might make it required to have StarCraft CD. As far as multiplayer goes, as far as we know, using the servers that we will provide are going to be free, but that all depends on how much it cost us, and how it effects copyright laws. Possibly, you may even donate 10 dollars or so to get special online features, charectors, etc.

to agent dink...im not going to lie to you, we just started not to long ago and we lost 2 members due to the fact that we switched our game engine to DarkBASIC, as a "rebel", 2 people left. We are now down to 5 people, but i promise that we will grow FAST.
Thanks btw for the "Spelling" tip... me not so good at engwish

I'd say START with asking Blizzard... If you're going to make any profit at all from it they'll definitely kill the game, and if not, probably too. They killed the Starcraft mod for C&C Generals, too. That was free...

It's not like they are your friends, they are a company.

Yeah if it comes to anything this project will get squashed by Blizzard. Regardless of that, this is barely enough to warrant a WIP thread. Also, team requests are much more successful when you're more than 5% complete with a project. But good luck on your game.

I'm not a real programmer but I play one with DBPro!

Looks all right so far...I was kind of expecting 'World of Starcraft'...so you've kind of disappointed me

Wouldn't mind seeing more of this and what direction it takes.

I'd take down the percentage- It doesn't matter what stage you're at, it's an estimation that only shows a general area of where you are. Unless you're close to completion or at least have a decent amount done, it's silly to post a percentage. You think it makes your game look more pro, but it's usually n00bs that post percentages without any explanation of what it means. We don't know what you've done so far except put a model on a heightmap, which is definitely not 5%.

Copyrights aside, I think you need to work on this for a month more before posting a wip thread, or if it's a team request, you need to go over and take a look at sea dome to see what our expectations are for a team request.

I don't want to be harsh- if this is the game you want to make, then make it. Just wait a bit longer to post here. Right now we can't give you any reasonable crit aside from the obvious, which is to work on it more, and that you might get a cease and desist.

@DJ Trickdog - I hope I didn't come off sounding too rude when I asked how big your company was. I've seen so many people (myself included) talk about their "company" and it's only the one person, or one person and a friend

Your welcome for the spelling fix

thanks for reply.
@Bizar Guy
the reason why i posted a percentage is to show that there is MUCH work to be done (some people would actually leave game like this) but the reason why the percentage is high even though looking at the Screenshot it looks like a .2%, is because our Engine is at a stable, custimizable point where you can add anything quickly. For instance, we set up different fire mode engine, gernade engine, terrain distruction, etc. there is alot more than what is actually on the screen. We also more than 1 model done, huds done, story structure, level structure, and overal gameplay stucture done.

@Agent Dink
np i didnt find it offensive in any way.


and is this topic mainly a WIP? yes. I just added comments about us seeking for help because fans DO want to help. I have to show the fans what they are helping and people will most likely understand the direction this game is going and its High potential. BTW i emailed Bliz so ill let you all know how this goes

I'm part of the "hobby team". i will probably be doing a chunk of the graphics (3d and 2d). not going to do much programming. we pretty much do what we can/when we can, with some deadlines (we will be more strict the more people join). everything is 100% custom (using blender/GIMP), just in-case you were worried for some reason.

i tried telling Dj to wait a bit longer before posting, but he didn't listen .

@ dj trickdog, could you please post some of this then? You can't defend yourself very well if you don't give us a real idea of what you're doing. The percentage would make a lot more sense if you posted what it meant, like I said. You gave a general idea in your response, but a lot of people will skim over that. Update it into the first post, so other people don't make the same misconception.

Hi I loved starcraft and i play world of warcraft,And i would like joining your team i can model weapons but my texturer is broken so you will have to wait for that i have a few swords whihc i coul show you and i could easily make a protoss blade.

Will it be a mmorpg or standerd rpg?

Will you bea able to buy new weapons?

Will you be able to join the war effort and fight with protosss if you are a terran?

Are their different classes (not terrran,prottos,zerg)
like firebat?

I have an idea for zergs when you levelat level 10 you become a hydralisk 20 sumthing else and so on dunno how it would work. (terrans haev promotion points and protoss somthing else.)

Thats it so can i join?

please, if your interested in helping, goto our forum (link in 1st post...) or send Dj a PM.... to keep spam to a minimum.

Quote: "Will it be a mmorpg or standerd rpg?"

most likly an offline shooter, with possible online play
Quote: "Will you bea able to buy new weapons?"

we might not have much weapons, its starcraft, the marine only has...1 weapon. might be power-ups/diff types of ammo.
Quote: "Will you be able to join the war effort and fight with protosss if you are a terran?"

you'll have to wait and see

it isnt that kind of RPG. you play as a Specific carector (one for each race) there is no leveling or anything like that. So yes, join the team forums. It will not be mmorpg, it will be more FPS online style. and most likely, there will be multiplayer

haha thats funny that you say "tha_rami" because the other team leader "SioxerNic" (im one team leader), said we should have flight missions. Flight wouldnt be too good on multiplayer unless it is a "ALL FLIGHT" missions. it wouldnt be good like flight vs ground. but yes we will / may include flight action. as for zealot gets in carrier...that would be awesome!

@Dark Dragon
yup! thats why we making it so you can do that!

I disagree. Halo seemed to be able to pull it off fairlly well. Carriers wouldn't be very good, however, and neither would battle cruisers. Maybe terran could use Wraiths, protoss could use Corsairs, and Zerg could have Mutilisks. You might not want to go air at all, though.

Ground would make more sense, but I forsee trouble with the zerg. Will your Zerg player be able to ride Ultralisks or something? Will Protoss have psionic swords? Really get intuitive with this, since there are so many weapons from each race. I hope you plan on allowing each race to use each other's weapons, that will be awesome.

well....for terran, you can ride different weopons, where different suits (firebat for instance)

for protoss, you can ride in dragoon armor, become higher rank and become like a dark templar, or even become a high templar and later merdge and become a Archon.


for zerg , you will just play as different charectors

But uhm... Dragoon contain the essence of dead zealots? Zerg could just mutate, or something, couldn't they? Would be cool to start of as larvae and have your spawn time depend on your choice of unit. For Protoss, I guess there's no other option than to do what you suggest.

Oh, I see. I thought you could only be a zealot, marine, or hydrolisk or something like that. I like the way you have it setup, and follow what tha_rami suggested for the zerg (good ideas all around)

Hmm I just saw an advert for starcraft 2. I guess thats gonna rock the boat a little.

Starcraft is a one of the best games I've ever played and your really gonna have to pull out all the stops.

Contacting Blizzard and seeing what they say about fan related games might be a wise idea too.

"Dragoons are created from Zealots who have been crippled or mortally injured in combat and are thus unable to continue fighting in their preferred manner - with a pair of psionic blades. They continue to volunteer their services, however; their crippled or mortally injured bodies are placed within large exoskeletons which contain any life-support equipment required by the individual Protoss. The Dragoon is "made" at a sacred shrine on Aiur and "upgraded" at the Cybernetics Core."

Woops. You're right .

Yep, I suppose you could find a dragoon exoskeleton on the map, perhaps? Will you be able to be a medic ? Gotta have the sexy medic.

Also, scenery? Are planning on recreating any sc maps or having race specific buildings on the map? I think it would add to the atmosphere and StarCraftiness of the game. But, your call.
