    We the designer has DB, I might ask him about it. Thanks.

    After I finish work tonight I'll post most of our ideas to give a little more info. We were thinking the same with a Demo stage. We are going to to Mos Eisely (Well as much as we can) including the cantina. At least its not the whole grand storyline (which there is) bust at the same time it's not a small, dull stage.

    Thanks guys

    Ok, this is where we're at so far story wise.

    You play as a stormtrooper officer(unnamed). Loyal. Non Clone.

    You have been dispatched to Tatooine, mos eisliy, to help maintain Law and Order with a fellow officer(unnamed).

    So far you have 4 missions (and two bonus missions) Some including manning the checkpoint, stop smuggling in a daocking bay and working with Jabba. To activate the missions you go to the imperial garrison base and talk to your commander.

    During "action missions" it is in FPS mode and you have the visor as in Republic commando IE:death stick dealings: Your squad bursts through doors of tatooine's back ally's in FPS to find dealers, hackers getting into the empires computers, twi'leks table dancing etc.

    You can otherwise roam free around the streets, cantina, docking bay, vehicles etc.

    After finishing the missions you get promoted and shiped off planet

    ***************************
    Tatooine is the demo stage we are going to tackle first(or at least part of)
    ***************************

    In the actul storyline you and your partner get shipped to Alderaan to investergate rebel activity connected to the royal family.
    This is more free roaming through the streets of the pristine planet looking for clues to the spies. There are 2 in town one out in the plains and the final one is in the snowy mountains(snowtroopers :D )
    While your here you have the chance to fall in love with an alderaanian(sp?) - this is where two differant endings come in.

    After you have all the spies you are shipped off and you hear vader captured the princess.

    You are shipped to the final planet (still working on which planet) to rat out a rebel base, where you find out Alderaan has been destoryed
    Your mood/diologe in this bit depends on what path you follwed with the alderaan chick - Angry/don't care.
    Your partner then reveals that he is in fact working for the rebels and offers you to join - you can choose to kill him/turn him in/join him.

    The final battle you fight as either stormtrooper and wipe out the rebels or a rebel and help them escape the planet in time depending on what you choose.

    So, that's where we are. We are about to start on Mos Eisliy. I have voice actors. Thanks for thos who have pm'ed me I'll get back to you asap.

    I'm no good at programming, but I can write scripts or design characters or something.

    Hear, Hear! Lol, I'm pretty much the same.

    I think we could actually do this with my FPS program, which would be much easier, and get the game done (or at least the demo) done quickly. Though as for an entire game, you realize this is a lot of time directed at something that cannot be sold orr anything. Sure you'll have a game, but you can't get anything for it. Just a note. I mean, I say we work on the demo then see what you think. If it's good enough, maybe lucasarts will buy it off us :p

    Would the FPS maker have the third-person mode?

    Wow, that FPS program looks good, I'll have to get it.

    My developer has to finih his latest game, which will be next week, then he'll foucs on this but what does everyone here need to know. I guess we all have to decide on a program? People who want to do the modeling can start sooner though, right? (Just making sure :) don't like to step on toes lol)

    You need to get some structure to this. First off, can we see what your guy has done before? Second, who is doing what jobs? What models are needed? Animations? Who can use FPS Maker to design. I'm buying it pretty soon, I've been messing around with the demo, and I should be pretty good on it.

    Ok, what we're going to do is we'll design the levels and such here as my guy has spent thousands on this stuff and knows what he's doing with his C script and what not...we still need some model makers which I'll post a list to anyone still interested.

    After we've done the demo anyone then can join the team in a larger capacity if your happy with our work. I understand everyone wants to see what we've done first so this will be the easiest way :)

    Thanks

    Again, can we see what this giy has done before? Not to question your guy, but I know a fair bit of programming too, and don't see why C would be your first choice. It also seems odd to me that he spends thousands on this stuff, yet all he seems to be doing with it is making a game for no profit.

    To be fair, you gotta start somewhere, and an impressive demo reel (such as a Star Wars based concept game) may be a step into the door at a large dev company.

    Though I remain as cynical as ever toward this thing ever seeing the light of day. I'm on the Dark Forces Mod for Jedi Academy team that's been going for 4 years now and with 20 or so very talented members. The plot & level design is all done (based on the original Dark Forces) and a Star Wars customised engine (Jedi Academy) is used, and only 3 levels have yet been released (a further 3 looking good for release in mid to late 2006)
