Hello one and all!

Before I begin I want to announce that this may seem like a poor follow up of Michaels oddworld models to you, I assure you it is not, I was working on this idea for about a week before Michael released his work. Ok, if your all sitting comfortably, I'll begin.

ODDWORLD: THE ONLINE MINIATURE GAME

Introduction

For a while now I have been perplexed as to why no miniature fan game has been attempted, I came to the conclusion that it would be a time consuming effort with results that don't justify the process of making the models. Therefore I thought that an online version would be a more appropriate venture. Over the last week I have been brainstorming and sprite creating to provide the back bone of the game. That way, even if I fail to finish the game (and many of you know how short my attention span is) there will still be a decent number of models you can have, I even put them in the cutest little packaging!

What is the game outline

Ok, I would like very much to have a game with two main campaigns but overall, I would like people to be able to play each other online, to gain experience, war gear,new units and upgraded heroes. Of course this is a very adventurous and possibly over my head in game making abilities since I have never completed a game.

I think the main online games would be:

All out war: Where one side faces another with a large number of miniatures on a big map.

Uprising: Where one industrialist army faces an uprising of mudokon workers, in a factory with a small number of units each (the only issue with this game is balancing the armies out.)

Looters: Where one side controls a squad of poorly equipped native sligs or mudokons, they loot equipment from industrialist outposts etc, customisation is a big factor in this game an you will be allowed to reconstruct existing guns with other parts.

The Problems

The Problems are of course my apparent lack (something I will have to tune up) the other problem is finding the time to make the game! I think I'll be all right though, if you do want to help, do say so! I think I'll need all the help I can get.
