Elder Scrolls Fan Made Flash Game

Sun Oct 16, 2011 6:39 am

Hello guys. I am making a flash game inspired by the Elder Scrolls ... It follows the RP that I am currently running. In fact, I first got the idea to make the flash game, then create the RP here at UESP forums. I haven't done much yet, except been working on the main menu, intro credits, and the action script coding.

    *DISCLAIMER*: I am not trying to breach any copy right laws by doing this. This is purely and ONLY out of enjoyment for a fan (me). I will never try to make profit off of the game, and will give credit to where it is due.

I am not sure how abouts I am going to be doing gameplay .. But I was thinking a turn based combat system for simplistic reasons. I have been learning how to create basic AI with action script, which will make the game a lot more flexible. The game will also be fully sound, maybe even voice acting from my friends and I ! I will use a probably Morrowind's soundtrack (giving credit where it is due obviously) I will include some screen shots inside of the spoiler if you are interested in seeing what I got so far ...

Wow! That's great! :mrgreen: I already want to play it, and even more because I'm in the roleplay 8). I want it more than Skyrim even :D.

I have to concur, this sounds like it will be epic (coming from another member of the RP :lol:). I'll certainly be following this thread in the coming weeks. :mrgreen: Kudos mc 8)

Sure thing. (: Awesome ! I will be doing more work today on it. Not so much this evening though because it is my friends birthday. But after that I will continue work on it until I decide to go to sleep. xD

Awesome. I will be continuing work on it tomorrow for sure. I am tied up with school work tonight unfortunately. ):

Does anyone know anything about the coding languages ? Action Script 2.0 to be specific .. I am needing some help with things that I didn't learn and can't find online. :p

I am also interested in finding someone to do the art (sprites, and graphics for items/ characters) for the game. If I did it all by myself I would be biting off more than I can chew kind of thing.

There are no sprite artists here. Or at least none that like me enough to make their status as such known to me.

I've posted a couple of threads looking for sprite artists, and none ever got any replies.

Haha, xD thanks doode. I will let you know when I have added more to it. Right now I am organizing action script codes. (:

*UPDATE*

Today I worked on the action script for the game. I was working on movement, and the collision system for walls (not objects yet). I have included a new button on the main menu as well to bring me to the test room where I test all my coding in an environment that will grow as I create more to test and add to the game. I have two screen shots for you, and some code.

I also messed around with an inventory system today. I couldn't figure some things out, and had a problem of all my items flashing in a cycle in every inventory slot. I decided to scrap that system completely and figure that out another day. Anyways, today I got movement, and collision down.

---

Here are the two screen shots that I have taken. One is of the new button to take me to the test area of the game, and the other is a screen shot of the current test area (the test area will have more added to it as I add more to the game). The circle is an over-head view of the player character that I created quickly to test walking.

The actionScript coding that I used to create the movement functions.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(65)){
this._rotation = 270;
this._x -= 6;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}else if(Key.isDown(68)){
this._rotation = 90;
this._x += 6;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}else if(Key.isDown(87)){
this._y -= 6;
this._rotation = 0;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}else if(Key.isDown(83)){
this._y += 6;
this._rotation = 180;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}else{
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}


That's all the work that I have done today. More will come soon. (:

Today I am working on the tile sets and have gotten a set of background artwork. Similar to a Sword of Mana/ Final Fantasy washed out fantasy colours. I hope you know what I mean. I will post some screen shots of it in a bit. I am still constructing the test area. (:

Currently what the Testing Zone looks like. The forest isn't finished yet, and will be circling the entire screen.

Lolopera.

Anyway, looks like your cooking up something pretty good. Let's hope bethesda doesn't have panties to be bunched and not yell at you.

Thanks guys ! (:

Unfortunately .. The game's production is halted until I can find a sprite artist/ pixel artist. In the mean time I am writing the story, quests, etc. (:

I'd recommend using assets from Daggerfall or Arena, seeing as they've both been released into the public domain.
