Finally starting my dream!

I've finally started work on my series! It'll lay the groundwork (background, characters, etc.) for the video game idea that I've had for a very, very long time.

It's going to be about an empire that violently takes over Earth, and eventually grows to cover half the galaxy. Sounds evil, but it unites the nations of Earth, and other interstellar races, albeit forcing them to settle their differences the hard way (uniting together against a far more powerful foe).

Hmm... I already said too much right there ;)

Anyway, here's the main title/emblem/logo whatchamacallit. I accidently left the "snap to grid" on, so it kinda looks retro... at the same time, though, I kinda like it!

Thoughts? Comments? Can you think of a way to make the title look better, other than the white outline?

Best of luck to your gargantuan undertaking.

Just don't let it turn out like Bob's Game. :P

Yay! Be sure to upload your game somewhere and tell us so we can play it!

The title looks....somewhat okay. I don't like the lettering on the word "Empire". Perhaps you should change the font.

What type of game is it? Side-scrolling? Real Time Strategy? First Person Shooter?

Uh, sure! As long as that red symbol keeps its general shape; it's the Imperial crest!

@ Revolutionize: This is going to be an animated series of Flash cartoons that leads up to an actual game. I hope to join a game company when I graduate, and hopefully they'll like my idea and turn it into a console and/or PC game! It's going to be a Sci-Fi FPS.

As for the font, I made it myself... It was partly accidental, because I left "snap to grid" on, thus giving it a retro look. :rolleyes:

One of my roomates has photoshop... I guess I'll have to "borrow" the disc and learn myself ;)
 
Cool. Good luck with the huge undertaking!

(I personally hate FPS's...but that's just me...and my lack of skills speaking.)

@ Chrisman01 - want me to carve that logo into a stamp for you?

I too can not stand FPSs... the only one I ever really enjoyed was the first Halo. It gave me the feeling I was in control of things. Like if I ran at the enemy guns blazing, the enemy would run away and hide somewhere. In any other FPS, if I just run at stuff I'll get killed instantly (difficulty doesn't matter, I always get slaughtered).
 
@ DS1 - Yeah, I hate FPS's; the few I enjoyed were Tribes, Metroid Prime (DS), and the original Wolfenstein. Some of them can be beaten with just strafing and others have interesting gimmicks. (Tribes, Metroid Prime...etc.)
 
Wow! someone else that remembers Tribes!

My friend and I played the PS2 version, which made me look into Tribes 1 and 2, which are WAY better.

Speaking of which, I recently found this site: www.tribesvdl.com

Some people have removed the crappy campaign from Tribes: Vengeance, and released just the multiplayer for free! I don't have time to try it, though :(

I still have that multiplayer patched thing on my computer. But, personally, I suck at it. I always play a medic/repair guy - it's been too long, but I usually help out the others. I should play again, but I'm getting obsessed with my DS.
 
GYAAAH!

Flash deleted some of my objects! Now I have to make them all over again... This means yet another delay, on top of work and school >.<

I've been working on the first episode. However, I don't have the story quite figured out yet, so I think I'll put it on hold and make a quick teaser trailer, then jump right back into it... assuming Flash doesn't delete anything else >.<
