I'm working on a 3D RPG using Ninkazu's "Hearts of the Just" idea. So I'm going to stick all my screenshots and any other stuff here as the project develops further. Heres the first two, I know they're in the main RPGDX forum, but on second thoughts I figured they'd make more sense in here.

Note: The models shown in these pics are just for testing and have nothing to do with the real game.

Any suggestions, crticisms or flames, feel free to send them my way.

Heh, I remember that Crackhor player model from my Quake II days. Are you using some variant of the Quake engine?

The engine is currently loading in MD2 models for the actors. Wasn't really sure which model format to use- MD2 is quick and easy to implement a loader for. In the end I will probably move to using the MD3 format because its not much more complicated, and it allows for the joining of multiple models- that way I can put different weapons in the characters hands without needing a totally new model, and change the characters appearance relatively easy when they change their armour etc (think of Diablo). But I'm getting ahead of myself here, I havent even got a map loader implemented yet! Hmm, if I'm going to use Quake models, I might implement a Quake level loader, kinda makes sense I guess. Oh well, I'll have to think about it a bit more.

For anyone who cares heres my latest little update on the status of the Hearts Of The Just engine. OMG- The Osbornes just came on and Ozzy is on the stairmaster listening to Bette Midler (WTF is television coming to).

Okay, so the engine... Heres the list of script functions I've written which are working properly now.

include
exitApp
rand
abs
sqrt
timerGetTickCount
audioInit
audioDeinit
audioPlayMusic
audioStopMusic
audioPlaySample
audioPlayMP3
audioStopMP3
cameraSetPosition
cameraMove
cameraStrafe
logWrite
textWrite
lightSetAmbient
actorLoad
actorDestroy
actorReset
actorWalkToPos
actorDistanceToPos
actorDistanceToActor
actorRotate
actorWalkForward
actorWalkStop
actorIsWalking
actorGetCurrentPos
actorGetDestinationPos
keyGetWait
keyGetState
mouseGetPos
mouseGetButton
mouseSetPos
mouseShowCursor
mouseHideCursor
windowGetSize
cameraSetFOV
cameraPanFOV
cameraPanPos
cameraPanUp
cameraPanView

Well that probably doesn't mean much to most people :) But yeah, unfortunately I haven't had much time to work on the engine in the last week. Stupid work! >:(

Hopefully I'll get the level loader happening this weekend, so I might actually have some interesting pictures to show of the engine in action soon. *FINGERS CROSSED*

This is what I did today, I'll try to finish it as soon as I can... It's a bit more low-polygon than you asked. If it's too undetailed I'll make another model or put more detail in this one.

Quake levels are pretty simple to load and draw; they're just a bunch of vertices and texture coodinate after all; it getting the lighting, bsp, and other goodies in there thats hard; haven't done it myself but there is some awesome example code over at gametutorials.com

Thanks Barok, and yes he'll get his limbs if he's a good boy.
For that ones who don't know, I did this model for Twinsen's project.

Okay everyone, I finlly got a Quake3 BSP level loader working. So heres the latest screenshot from my engine for anyone who cares.

I should point out however that the level and the model are absolutely nothing to do with the game, and were just used for demonstration purposes :) Oh well, as usual feedback, flames etc always appreciated :).

I can't believe my game idea is going to look as good as that O_O

If you get this thing working, I'll chip in on the modeling work if this class turns out to be any good. Know of any 3DS to MD3 or MA to MD3 programs? (too lazy to google) MA is the extension for maya if you want to know.

Oh and heres another screenshot for anyone who cares, much the same as before, but yeah. Shrugs.

And this is another shot where I was messing with the cameras field of view. Theres a whole bunch of functions available to the LUA scripts for messing with the camera, thought these sort of functions might be useful in cutscenes for cinematic zooming and such.

Ya, I like that camera FOV thing. That could be messed with when you're having a strange memory or.... I don't really know. What would be REALLY cool is voice talent. If you're going to have a 3D game, you gotta make it to the max. I'm up for doing the voice of a few characters. I have sound forge and a decent mic, also a very "handsome" voice (Well, I'll just... um, whatever shutting up is a good idea now)

I won't be able to do big macho dudes' voices, since I'm still in puberty, but uh... if you have a mic, do you think you could shake off your Australian accent? It'd be weird to have different accents in the game.
