Master Anoon Bondara

the game is RPG style, and Revan is in it, one thing- Revan is gonna drop the soap the shower, seriously, after what BioWare did, they garunteed a sequel would be made, and by over doing Revan's abilites, ensured its not living up to the first one to non-dev eyes, but this one adds crafting and upgrading, were this system to be addad to SWGalaxies, I would put my xbox controller down to manage my city, ain't been on in 5 days, so I am gonna get slammed when I get on... but! I digress... about what? Phantom- when I get out of college (taking an internet one now, should be done for winter break of my junior year in highschool) I will be hiring, and In my first four posts, all have run into you, and I would like to work with you. BTW, I agree, the force doesn't control people, my Mom does- you are so right, don't forget manipulation.

Hey guys, while you are at it with the patch, follow it up with a Live Release (Xbox will love you for it as it does encourage growth, in Live, and it will encourage slaes of Kotor 2) Please, go BioWare, and give us the HK factory!

Yeah one that ends with the Mandalorians in defeat! LOL

not critical, but Revan will overshadow any attmept at making a character seem important, unless, s/he is slammed into place by the player character with a large metal object (like a crashed again ebon hawk) Revan was and has been made to big, adn must be beaten, preferably by a character, or by someone who gets slammed by the char before the meeting with Revan, but lets this end here, onward the ideas of doom!

If you are going for art, ever seen Shrek? It was made by Maya 6, you can download the full $7000 program for free, it just lands you with watermarks, if you can master it, understand it, tell the people who wrote its source how it works, get them to understand it, you will be able to ream anyone who need graphics in a game, ever played Fable? Beautiful eh? Well, you could make an entire game that looks like my best friend (she happens to look a heck of a lot like the nVidia nymph) if you don't know what the nVidia nymph is, it ain't airbrushed... BTW could I ask, is VB script, useful? And what skills do I need to be a good Dev. Manager/Writer?

running obsidian to the gound... no! joining the industry Well me and a couple Friends are freshmen, and I have 3 questions... 1) what is the best way/things to have to become a succesful Writer/Director (writing the script, directing the game)? 2) What are the most important positions to have in a group to make a game, we are starting work on a game (no you can't sue us, because we are not selling it, and we are not publishing it, or anything that coudl give rise to a law suit upon us, nontheless, please, don't tell LA about it, as after this movie, lawsuits, will become a large portion of LA's income) that will be Republilc vs. Mandalorians no real title other than Goliath yet... what do you need without question? we have... ME- Script/Storyline Creator (too big of an imagination), Developer, and if need be, i can do cutscenes, and I know how to work sound like no other, I have done lights and sound on plays, can I put this expierence into Dev skills? I need to level this out. Phil- good god, he does Maya 7, and he will be creating the areas, he took the Halo trial, and modded it on his own to the point where it was like the first Diablo, just with light, in Blood Gulch, and it was a Blood Elf from Warcraft, killilng Zerg from starcraft. He makes the rough maps and Character images Manu- (AI dude)He grabs the other editor swoop, and chases Phil making the levels look nice, and runs our AI scripting August- (Editor) I had written an entire page of code in Notepad, terrible formating on my part, I couldn't find any errors, I ask, he searches my sheet for 3 seconds and finds 4 errors, proving 2 things- the further I am away from our engine, the better, and he could put enough spit and polish on a product, that it would flood mars to the point of it raining on earth because of it All of us are motivated, and have a great bonus, kinda like Kreia and the Exile with force Chain- the more one if us is motivated the more the others are (usually its me followed by silent Phil, then Manu doesn't shut up) I am working on getting a Arts Designer, but he needs crack to stay motivated, and backfires on the group, but otherwise, he has the most expierence of us he made $6k on a summer job, making a New Orleans magazine, still in publish. 3) If we are applying for jobs devloping, does it give us an edge that we have worked together before? How much difference does having a team that has worked togther before make? How much does the team meshing toghether matter? Is the difference small, miniscule, a bonus, a sizable help, or an inordinately oversizied gift from God, taking 4 Trucks strapped together to deliver? I am corny, I know, deal with it. Got any tips for keeping a team together? Thanks for the help in advance, and I would appreciate any help, and we would love to work for Obsidian consulting, troubleshooting, beta, whatever. thankx.

Hey, if you get permission, PM or email me, let me on for this

Original Thread: http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=30955 Please only post here some of the best, commented ideas from the suggestions post, discuss and flame over there please BTW Kotor 2 may not have had the story of the first one, but it still rocked the socks off of it, the Crafting Aspect, the Influence- Influence was the greatest idea and creation of the game, it rocked, please let us use them in KOTOR 2 better, also, from my post, let us challenge Revan, and make him/her look like a Padawan compared to our chars' Jedi Empowered, Rakata Build, Mandalorian Anihilation style galactic influence army (sith might look like the cloners of kamino...) Sanctionedd Stuff- More Craftables, go to the SWG SOE dudes for help on this obsidian, Tiggs is nice enough. More Influlence effects, let us influence them to train, or even more influence leads to Side Mastery, and Chosing what type of Jedi they become Give Us a padawan, let us char. generate them from their start! REVAN & EXILE INVOLVEMENT IS KEY Let is choose to rebuild either order, but bring Rakata back to use the force to rebuild stuff LightSaber Pike- SWG item it has a two handed hilt, but can shiskibob two rancors at a time Tarenatek- Shweetness Influence- llike Mad The given- what is this? it is everythign from the frist two KOTRR- Retro republic, bring back rapid transit update- internet of Xbox Live More to come

Of course there will be another, read the interview, no more Strikes back endings? There must be a sequel, it would be detrimental to Star Wars, LA, and (sorry, but where you put an ending like master and commander on it, you ask for it) Obsidian, in support, fans and otherwise, as the last movie is almost out, Kotor will take over the story line, and the mass fan base. Don't go lucas ith it though, the first script was so effective and efficient, Kotor I and New Hope, don't let it go to the dogs

Jesus Christ Guys, give devs a break! Actually, how do you say jesus plural... Jesae? JESAE CHRISTS, CHILL, YOU DON'T SEE ME FLAMING... My first post here, but don't leave me without credit, I worked on the coding for Galaxies, and no, do ask about it, I ain't telling (you would like to know, it does rock) First off, if you read the interview, he said he would not do another Strikes Back ending even if the alternative were being thrown into a Salraac MADE of molten Carbonite. So where does that leave the Devs? With a layout that must be similar to teh plot destructions and revivals in Return of the Jedi. here are some scripting ideas, and i will be posting 4 threads soon, one for direct action ideas that are good (i.e. specific suggestions for KOTOR 3), commentary (review and explanation of said suggestions), critizing of ideas (for when we need a laugh, please if you have anything that is similar to flaming, we need a dedicated flaming post, all forums do (yes this will be pure flaming, force flaming, taring and feathering, food throwing, and best of all, napalm), and then a Sticky(hopefully) with links to the 3 NON-FREAKING OPTIONAL PROLOGUE at the begining, before character creation, you start as Revan, titled as such, in the sith empire, master feats, the whole 9 yards of the Foot-to-Posterior style, you fight a few dudes, learn bout force, and can't access menu (pause with white button only on xbox, but no items switching, this will be like using an axe to cut butter, purposeful overkill) you then meet an NPC, Pivitol, but you don't know that, he asks about you, you answer the ending of Kotor's 1, telling of Revan as light or dark, Bastila, Juhani, Carth, everyone from kotor 1 that you could kill or usurp, or screw with or love, and whether you are a dude, or gal, adn you class/prestige following this you get the tar kicked out of you in a cutscene next, you are transfered to a similarly god like exile, full robes like revan, so no sex definition yet, you are approached by the same NPC, robes up and all, asked questions about the fate of everyone from KOTOR 2, deaths, light, Dark, etc. answer about ending, and then light/dark, then male/female, and class/prestige; promptly to be cut down in a cut scene Now after doing this, you go to character generation, and depending on who died/lived form kotor 1 and 2, you start outside a ship that has just landed on... DANTOOINE Mandalore has gone to Coruscant to Find you as the final Biding of Kreia before she left, she knew the order would be reforged, and whichever order that would be re-<i>forged</i> (hint hint, Rakata copycats!) and you would be key to it coming around. the star map ruins are here BTW. now you see mandalorians at every possible choke point, securiety point, door, and landing pad (hint* not just the corellian yt-700 Ebon hawk we know and love, also maybe a yt-1100 "outrider" prototype Dash rendar style) as you are cutscene walking to the enclave, mandalorians kowtowing and kissing butt like crazy to mandalore, he tells you that the mandalorians we again impressed upon by the battle of telos upon the ravager, and that all the jedi characters (Bindo not included, but you do see a construction site, that looks like it is near complete, but no equipment... odd.) came here and uninted to rebuild the order, or should they be darksided, Mira, handmaiden, and hranharr (d@m^ you mira, why didn't you finish the beastie off, he still ends up dark, no matter what you say) along with a kreia style revival, atris (dark as can be, but you don't learn this yet) rebuilt the korriban, telos, and yavin darkside places, should mira be light, she is to be replaced by a named char. a new one., and handmaiden, will always fall to darkness, and juhani could be Dark TBD, the rest were light to begin with or were reformed by a boy who seemed familiar but they did not know Mandalore has joind with the jedi because they are to be respected and learned from, and they need protection by non-force sensitive wariors of the highest quality, arrogant mandalorian, so the gaurd the jedi, and with the remaning "sith" assasins, there has been plenty enough action for them, and they are uninted with the jedi. now he shows you into... THE JEDI ENCLAVE wow, it is thriving, and twice it's twice the size of when you last saw it, two floors above, and below, and below... (star map, fully repaired) you see rakata "healers" who "healed" the enclave and now use the force to build things, and are part of the jedi, refraining from missions b/c of darkside tendancies NOTE: most of the aforementioned ideas that can be written on load scenes and random speaking by npcs, should be to save and shave DEV time. you see a council, that has been waiting for you, atton is arguing with visas, that mandalore couldn't be back yet, that hyperspace doesn't work that fast, still defiant to the last he is. on the council is a old old old bindo meditating, he says "how the work going on the final bed for my coprate form?" "Aggravated Reply: Sir it is on schedule, for the 20th time today. Why must meatbags care so about a container to house themselves in their decomposing state of life? :Sigh: You say you will stay after you are burried, but I have never seen a Meatbag retain a sentient state without a Meatbag to house their memory core and actuators." (w00t) WOOT WOOT WOOT (w00t) now visas tells you that those assembled here, atton, her, Carth's son- who uninted them, and all the other jedi from the previous games. after a buncha' yammering about the force and stuff, and how some are losing connections seemingly without reason, she sends you on a recruiting mission to help strengthen the order (you couls send em all to the sith on korriban) so you are off to tatooine, kashyyykk, onderon/duxn, and finally Telos dark Academy BUT, before you leave, there are some initiates here, and they wish to learn the ways of the force, you know some, but not much more that required, yet still enough, to take on a padawan, there will be 6 choices, consular, sentinel, and gaurdian, to choose from, male and female- these two gain a prestige class as well as you after you have recruited the force sensitives (and picking up a following) now Carth's kid, and mission are friends and have developed a force bond, but they sense that there are people using dark true sith sorcery, and you are sent to... nar shadaa, manaan, the colonization of taris by rakata (two planets, but small ones), and finally... korriban after koriban, you are full up on party, minus a daksider, minus 2, you go to the enclave, and are shipped off to yavin 4 along with the combined jedi/mandalorian strikeforce to find the source, you don't find exar kun, but you do find many sith, including naga sadows starship, which you need to get a route to sith space from you could after the first visas mission, have sent all the recruits to the sith on korriban, in which case your last mission will be "cleansing" the enclave, the mandalorians side with the most powerful, and if you persuade canderous that you side is the way to go you take hims and his army to yavin. after yavin (and recovering your darkside convert/ lightside convert that was spying) you say, "jedi have gone alone before us, we go together, the mandalorians will follow." you got to scout the sith empire, and there are 3 planets, you can return to yavin on your sadow ship (reforged by rakata) at anytime to use the epon hawk in republic space. on each planet is a factor and a city, you must scout them, and find their weakness, kill sith leaders in the city, and call in the mandalorians to blow the factories to kingdom come, you also encouner revan and the exile upon landing, and you end up having two parties at most times, revan, you, yer padawan (quite powerful by now, though s/he may want to learn form revan or the exile), and the exile, doing ****, after this, it is off the the third planet, which has an academy, not a factory, and then to the sith throne, the 3rd planet/throne are comparable to ravager/malachor or unknown world/starforge, yes light siders finally get there chance at mass destruction, and you blow it to kingdom come, and back should you wish. comments? :ph34r: (w00t) (w00t) (w00t) edit: yes I know the dark side needs more, i like the more saber ideas, btu how is this for plot? comments? please? also to obsidian- i would love to do consulting adn freelance work for the storyline of kotor3 don't think about saying you aren't gonna make one, with that ending, you might get a big backlash if a third aint made
