The [Somewhat] Official Lugaru 1.5 Collaboration Thread

[Lotus Wolf]

Hello all,

For a long time, Lugaru 1.5 has been talk about, and idea's have been thrown around, but no one has ever taken a serious stab at it. Well, we have a number of skilled individuals in our community, and all we need to do is pull them together into one big collaboration.

Currently, Hall1989 and I are in on this, anyone who has something to contribute can sign on, everything is appreciated. Hal is working on sounds, and new menu screens and text. I am working on custom models. We hope to create a whole new storyline, with new textures, skins, and many maps.

We need people who can create really good textures. We need people who can do dialogues correctly and efficiently. We need maps, we need storyline ideas, we need it all!

So if you are interested in helping, sign on! your help will be greatly appreciated!

Cheers, Lotus.

I'm here for textures.

[Lotus Wolf]

Sweet!

Also, if anyone has something to put in, but doesn't want to be seriously involved, then pitch it in, and that's all you have to do, there's no real commitment here, but we do need a few collaborators that will work on it.

those are both old pictures as are any others on there, but still if anyone thinks they're good I can always make new textures though I still have pretty limited time, also I have a mac so technically speaking I should be able to do dialogues, but still my time is limited...

[Lotus Wolf]

Great, whenever you have time, check in to see if we need anything, at the moment, we just need to talk about what to do first, and get the already existing assets to anyone who will be helping. at the moment, i've got a spike that isn't invisible when you look up at it, its more rounded too. screenshots are on their way.

[Ozymandias]

Are we talking about starting a game from scratch or just updating the current game?

[Lotus Wolf]

updating, i dont think many people here would be able to do a from-scratch game like lugaru... anyway, we want to update sounds textures skins models menus maps and storyline.

[blood-shard]

im in on the storyline at anytime you can trust me xD but ill need allot of help though from other members O.o

[Lotus Wolf]

great, well need your creative mind!

I offer to work on textures on models: it shouldn't be too tough.

[Lotus Wolf]

awesome, for the moment, models for static stuff is really touchy, so experiment with it.

[Lotus Wolf]

OK guys, first order of business, What do we have already?
Tim's made a wonderful texture pack, very lovely. (i can't unzip the file btw, but it looks really good from what i see in the thread.)

Hal1989 is working on new sounds, which is very important for any real attempt at a 1.5 update, imo. (how far are you on that?)

I've been working on the new models, and i currently have: new Spike (not invisible to look up at), new Rock (more irregular), and new Tunnel and Chimney (no more fps lowering when they are in a level). for the Cool, and Weird models, i was wondering if anyone else had though about making them something completely different, like making the Weird a ramp or something, and the Cool some kind of structure... anyway, need public opinions about that.

Has anyone been thinking about a storyline?

Let's get it all straight so we know what needs to be worked on.

[Hal1989]

For the moment, I got 15 sounds replaced on 72 this far, lol XD

[Lotus Wolf]

well, keep going, may seem like a long way to go, but when its done we'll all be proud of you!

[Stromboli]

Do we know if it's possible to create "friendly characters" who attack other bunnies/wolves but not each other/you?
