this is the third time we're resurrecting this project, I pray it gets accomplished this time

i'm good with c#. since we're using unity, i'm in.

This project should rise like a Phoenix

kazuna: This project should rise like a Phoenix

and sink like the Titanic

pjae:
and sink like the Titanic

servant of DOOM !!!

So Una never complete this game?

Though I'm late, I just want to throw in my two cents. Unreal engine is very free right now, why can we just go with it?

Hi,
My name is Chiaka Chima I am a game designer and a graphics designer both in 2D and 3D am the designer of "Deja Vu Game" an Android game available right now in google play store . Just type Deja Vu game in the search bar u will see it there here are my links

Website: http://www.chigraphicalillustrations.com

http://www.facebook.com/Deja Vu game

I started using Unreal since UDK and Now Unreal Engine 4 is now fee I have UE 4.7 install on my system . UE is a very powerful game no doubt about that but the work flow is ambitious and huge and complex. Everybody involved in the development using UE4 must understand it fully and everybody must know his or her department.and the learning curve, I will till u guyz the truth is to big and heavy except every one take his or her area of expertise and focus on it and bring the best out it
UE4 is divide in various segments.

Persona editor -Character animation stuff
Cascade editor- particle editor
Blueprint editor- visual programming
World editor- level and scene design
physics editor- physic things
MICROSOFT Visual Studio software- C++ coding and each of this editors is another world on there own.

So I advise that we use Unity 5 it also has some of UE4 features Includeing the latest rendering for game engines "Physical Base Rendering (PBR)" which make the game start out of the crowd especial in africa and also compete with the world.

Thank you

Dont know why i Keep popping into this thread, maybe the future will be bright someday.

any time this project gets fully ressurected, so far that this thread exists and I am not yet 85, I'm in

What happened to this project?
When I stumbled upon this project, I was so happy to see such dedication in game dev in Nigeria. But as the thread counts towards 22, the enthusiasm blew away.
Next year should be game's release date.
What happened?

You guys should get a definite plan

Hi Nairalanders,

Let us form a team of game developers to develop a very solid 3d PC game based on Nigerian People and Culture with next gen graphics.
You dont have to know everything and you dont have to be very smart. You just have be able to contribute something relevant and be competent at what you do.
So, we would contribute our individual strength to the team. I know we have the talent.
What do we need.

1. C/C++ Programmers
2. 3d Modelers
3. Concept Artists
4. 2d Artists
5. Animators
6. Sound Designers
7. Game Designers
8. Level Designers
9. Voice Actors
10. Game Programmers

There are more roles to be filled up but this is what I can up with for now.

I envision this project will take about three years. So, there is no rush. What we need right now is more of talented Game Designers, concept artists and 3d Modelers. So, we can start up with a story line and develop the environment from there.

This is not going to be a small project. We are not trying to create a demo. We would be developing a world class game only targeting next gen hardware. This would not impede game designers, concept artist and 3d modelers who would start the initial development phase.

If you think you can contribute or if you are interested,
Post your detail here and I would contact you
or
Just send me an email here: jivibounty@yahoo.com, jivibounty@facebook.com. Feel free to add me on facebook.
and yahoo messenger

Once, we have a solid enough team, we can startup. I will coordinate this from start to finish. So, you do not have to worry
that this project will stop at any point in time. I am very sure we can do this.

I am a game developer and you can view some of my works here:

Story Concept Phase Completed
We have been able to bring our heads together and develop several story concepts and finally, we have chosen the Goat's Revolt story
since most people like the story

Goat's Revolt
Goats have been oppressed by men for years. They have been slaughtered for food.
General Goaty, the protagonist will take this injustice no more. Goats have a life too. On Xmas eve. the goats led by General Goaty assisted by the Big-Eyed Goat, General OverSeer went on riot against man. They formed an alliance with other Xmas – eatable animals such as Cow, Chicken, Turkey etc. Together, they go offensive against man fighting for their fundamental Animal Rights. They acquired all sorts of machine guns and assault rifles and waged a war on man.
Eventually, after several dangerous mission which almost led to the end of the world. They defeated man and they celebrated their victory.
As they were celebrating, General Goaty woke up from his dreams in the abattoir and next thing he knows, a knife goes for his neck.
In other words, the entire Game is General Goaty’s dream on Xmas eve.

The mission is to defeat men who eat goat.
The language is pidgin English with interpretation for other languages.
The game is first person shooter and third person shooter.
the goats can walk on two legs (It does not have to be realistic)

Current Missions

-Escape from the Abattoir
-Acquire Cutlass and Fight.

The humans get to pursue the escapee goat, Goatie with cutlass fiercely.

-Release Other Goats, Ram, Cow, Chicken etc.
Armed with a cutlass, Goaty visits several abattoirs to release other animals.

-Infiltrate Military Base to acquire tanks - Acquire Advanced Weapons – Ak47, Sniper etc

_Shit just got real. Information has leaked that the goats have rebelled against man and pose a very dangerous threat to citizen's life. In no time, the government deployed troops of mean and hungry soldiers.
General Goatie along with Ewu, Ebili and Gwon Gwon go on a top secret mission to acquire weapons of war fare. In the process, Gwon Gwon got killed. Then, the human Military Commander then said, Omo, see meat. Mek person go prepare Isi-Ewu make we chow.
But General Goaty thought differently. They had to retrieve GwonGwon’s body for appropriate burial rite as a worthy hero and patriot.

-Retrieve GwonGwon’s Body, Get the weapons and capture the military commander.

-Rescue Goatie's Mom.
Goatie did not find his mom after releasing other nearby goats because she has been sold.
During the course of the game, intel came on her whereabout. and then, he had to rescue her before she gets slaughtered.
Also, cutscene of Goatie remembering when he rescued a fellow goat from a very wicked bully goat and goatie's mom told him
"Goatie, I know say one day you go make me proud"(lol).
Also, we can give names to character based on the animals popular names or anything close in sound or meaning.
for example
Cow - Melu, Mumu etc
Goat - Goatie, Overseer(Big Eye), Ewu, Gwon Gwon, Ebili, ScapeGoat etc
Ram - Thuram(a very strong ram)

We are currently in the process of polishing the mission and developing gameplay elements.
Great Work everyone for your efforts, contributions and critical analysis.
We are moving on to the next phase which would be developing Mission One
which is actually goatie's Escape. We would develop the gameplay elements/concept art and
engage in Level Design.

All these for Goats??

Hello Nairalanders,

This is an interesting thread and was very happy to see it. But unfortunately, I noticed that the enthusiasm faded away at some point. Im currently studying Mobile Game Development Using Unity 3D and this would have been a very good scenario to showcase my skills.

I would encourage all of us interested in the project to brush up on our skills. The Unity Engine is a great tool for building all kinds of games on different platforms.

You can learn more about building 3D games or take up the training online to acquire or polish your skills.

Check this link: http://eti.ng/mobile-game-development-with-unity-3d.html

I would love for us to revive our creativity and do something great.

Unity3D is a very good way to achieve a lot.

I take this Game Dev thing as a hobby tho, (I only sold some of my assets once)

I may be able to share some of my resources like Terrains, Level and Bump Maps and my AI system when i'm free.

Goodluck!

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Do you engage in other developments or just Unity3D developments?

popped in again...when are you guys ready for my service.

Wake up people...theirs no more oyel, time to start thinking new games for sale...

I am into Xter design....Plz let's get this running. let it be a phenomenon....

Please anyone...

Mich43l:

I am also a front end developer.

I have lots of projects at hand, one which includes a game.
I will post a thread for it when the time comes so contributors can come in. I do not plan to manage the project through nairaland but a project management system for teams.

Till then.

all really impressive game ideas but they are all for fashy... u guys r all talk an d no do. sersly its tiring... wen ever anyone is serious n needs contribution hit me up
btw i deal with
purely 2d
sound effect
2d ui, background design
workin on my character designs

i once read the book, the Nigerian revolution and the biafran war and there was this account of the night of the northern counter coup, soldiers were summoned to the parade ground, eastern/igbo soldiers were singled out, loaded into military trucks supposedly to the railway station, along the way, the trucks were diverted to a bush, the soldiers were lined up and shot with a machine gun and then robbed of their belongings but among the soldiers was one who was not hit, he feigned dead even when be robbed of his wallet and wristwatch and later escaped, he eventually told the story to the author before he was apprehended at the makurdi bridge, shot and his corpse thrown into the river. i would want a civil war era game starting with this man's story except that he eventually had to lead a few others as they fight their way from kaduna to biafra.i have more ideas but let's stop here for the moment.

GUYZ I AM STILL WAITING FOR YOUR GOAT GAME O YOU SEE THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIANS, ALWAYS TALKING BUT NO ACTION.....................................IF I CALL MY BUSIIIKKKKY FOR ALL OF YOU

Thanks for the reply. What I am looking to do is 3D work. If you can design the UI like button images etc. That will be good though.
