the top link goes to my current project, the second link is to a video game I've already created.

THis is a new shader engine I am planning on using for this project, I believe it also supports higher poly models.

I've got some basic script already set, C++ code. And some new packages coming out for the engine will help as well, such as the A.I. pack, complete with Navmeshes and such.

The game will center around JOLINA, http://www.thornvalley.com/gallery/fan/v/lorddirk/JolinaFormal_copy.jpg.html

a character of mine from the Muck. Jolina is the Nimh Mouse Colony (NMC) general. In this game you will play as her as she carries out covert missions to unwravel a mystery surrounding some kidnapped citizens of the colony, the decimation of the Valley colony, and the lost mrs. Brisby and the stone.

I wont divulge the answers here just yet, but they are surprising.

ANYHOO. I am within poor contact with my old coder. I need another person who know's C++ script and code, well. If you do I can send you the SDK (system developers kit) from my earlier game, which contains all my coding, models, animations.. EVERYTHING you need to make the new game. Except for a few things here and their.

Thats where I need you. I need someone to help me figure out where to place certain code lines. I already have prescripted code, but where it goes, what file name it needs to be under.. that's something only a real coder can tell me, I'm merely an artist and exporter.

I will be opening up a forum for conceptual ideas and help on designs soon as well, so keep your eyes peeled. NOTHING too elaborate now, I am only one guy and can only do so much with the torque engine, its not the Unreal engine or anything like that. The unreal engine is over 750,000 dollars, and I havent massed that much cash yet.

anyhoo, thanks for allowing me on this forum, and I hope to get some replies for this.

It's more likely that no one has the programming experience. I know some C++, might even be able to take a shot at it if given enough documentation on the project and SDK. If you have a game that already runs, with source code, that could be useful too.

I have no experience coding for games, however, so I couldn't make any guarantees.

I know for a fact that you've got plenty of people interested in the idea of a NIMH video game, LordDirk. Alas, most are probably like me--programming illiterate.

I took a couple very, very basic courses in high school and learned I had absolutely no patience or aptitude for writing programs. :roll:

Wish I could be more help... :|

I could probably find the patience, but I have nil experience in coding. Wish I could help, too. Hope you can find someone who can.

I hope you can get some work done on this game someday!
