READ THIS ? InsanePoet was it REALLY necessary to grab us all by the throat with your READ THIS directive ? Surely "XIAN RPG" or something MORE PRECISE would have been appropriate, I am sure that your project is very important but with a subject like "READ THIS" you've got EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION is that justified ? ------------------ |

Thanks for the warm welcome! I was born in Indonesia, and I'm studying at the University of Queensland. I'm very interested in RPGs ever since I played Final Fantasy in SNES. Last week I was googling around for some christian gaming companies who might be able to give me some experience, and I came across Eric from www.ChristianGaming.com, who referred me to this site. I have done C for some assignments before, but I use Java most of the time. I've done some AI on CLISP as well. I can probably start with black box testing if you are interested in some help. Basically there's 3 months break over the summer starting from 2 weeks from now, and I thought of doing something constructive for 1-2 hrs per day. |

would this torque engine be from the GarageGames community ? I also would like to offer a little hand in the form of concept art. Give me a buzz let me know more Ian |

InsanePoet Member Posts: 638 From: Vermont, USA Registered: 03-12-2003 |
Ok here's some basic info...
What is Infinitum?: Infinitum is mostly a strategic RPG using the torque engine. Infinitum is a Christian game. It is not overtly Christian (as in, it doesn’t *directly* allude to things), but all things are symbolic and have Biblical meaning. Story and Symbolism: The prologue introduces the game w/ the character being rescued from destruction. He did not know that he was headed towards destruction, but he was saved by the sacrifice of the King Vestar and beyond his control, he was saved from damnation. The story progresses as the character faces various trials and matures spiritually. Certain places will symbolize certain evils. Some are simple, some more complex. The sin or evil is symbolized by a place and is portrayed by what the place is (terrain etc). The consequences of that particular sin/evil are embodied in the form of various monsters and creatures, these monsters and creatures are somehow a display of that particular evil. Infinitum is still young and any support is welcome.

Interesting, I can probably think of more stories, such as walking around the walls of the evil castle, and some mini-games like dance revolution kind of game with praise songs, casting legion demons into suicidal pigs, and wrestling with an angel  But then again, can I assume that the game design is somewhat finalised? ------------------ |
|
GUMP Member Posts: 1335 From: Melbourne, FL USA Registered: 11-09-2002 |
Nope, InsanePoet still has a lot of work to do on the design doc... Excuse me while I test my sig. ------------------ -I believe in faeries, goblins, dragons, ghosts, and computers that work perfectly. public class Politician extends Man {public void doSomething() throws UnreasonableException {throw new UnreasonableException(convenientExcuse);}} |

InsanePoet Member Posts: 638 From: Vermont, USA Registered: 03-12-2003 |
Certain things are finalized to a degree. as in what type of game it is, how it will play. The concepts have somewhat been established. Though not totally. ------------------ |
|
chosenservant Member Posts: 16 From: Australia Registered: 11-09-2002 |
How about this, you can email me some aspects which you think might need some fresh design ideas, and the boundaries of the system. Then I'll try to contribute as much as I can. BTW, my last exam is on 23rd. ------------------ |
|
InsanePoet Member Posts: 638 From: Vermont, USA Registered: 03-12-2003 |
Well, you can join the design team, if you'd like. That would mean a commitment to the team. We don't just give out stuff on the game to ppl. ------------------ |
|
chosenservant Member Posts: 16 From: Australia Registered: 11-09-2002 |
I would love to find out more What kind of commitments are we looking at? Are you guys engineers as well? ------------------ |
|
InsanePoet Member Posts: 638 From: Vermont, USA Registered: 03-12-2003 |
We are looking for the kinda commitment that you will stick with the project. Engineers? Well, me, no, i'm a layman. Also, you should know what type of game this is. ------------------ |

quote: So if it is not an evangelistic tool, then the impact on the culture is to point away from Christ rather than pointing towards him? and what is it to make them think about? or would you rather say infinitum is evangelistic, but not overtly? or solely? ------------------ |
|
InsanePoet Member Posts: 638 From: Vermont, USA Registered: 03-12-2003 |
Well karl, in a way it is evangelical. Let me clarify my terms. When I say evangelical, I mean strait out giving them the Gospel. Indeed, Infinitum does point to Christ, just not overty. ------------------ |

Klumsy Administrator Posts: 1061 From: Port Angeles, WA, USA Registered: 10-25-2001 |
actually yesterday i went to your site and read some of the storyline and was really impressed. it would make a good novel as well... ------------------ |

InsanePoet Member Posts: 638 From: Vermont, USA Registered: 03-12-2003 |
, well actually, that's the unrevised version, the new stuff coming IMHO is much better. ------------------ |
