This weekend I was fortunate enough to meet up with a couple long-time friends. For months I've been trying to get a hold of them, and now that I have we'll start on our first flash game for AG. Before we actually start making the game, we'll need to learn some fancy flash code stuff so we know what we're doing. I know bits and pieces, but not enough to make a half-decent game. We have 9 months to get the game's blueprints done, but we'll have to balance school as well. Production will take a month, or maybe two.
Anyway, I'll be doing general bug testing and graphic work, while the other guys will be doing the other stuff. Sounds like we have everything covered, right? No. We need a story. I want to include some interesting characters from the site, but we need help. I'll be popping in every once in a while to write bits and pieces because the main story will most likely fall into my lap.
The guys liked my username so much we're naming our baby production Salvidious Games. Do me proud, and be in a game.
So, to start things off, I'll need a setting. Throw your ideas out there; I need places, times, the whole shabang. I also need an exciting plot. In the plot, we need characters. Nominate yourself as a character, give some traits. Write a book.
Did you have any big problems while making the making the game so far?
Our former sound guy quit a few weeks ago, but he's already been replaced. Alex isn't familiar with AS3, but he's learning it. Otherwise, no. Everything else has been running like clockwork.
Can I see mine?
Later. Prolly.
So once the game is out will you take suggestions on what to do better and update the game as you see fit?
If we have access to AG's API, yes. Because it'll be released as an MMO, I can almost guarantee it. We'll probably add achievements too, if we get the privilege.
While I would love it I would have to advise against it. It isn't really fair to all the other people because there would be no way that they could get it.

Either we'd make the Quest legacy or we'd have alternate ways of getting it. Like, per say, you could either be in the game or send in a certain number of suggestions via the chat system. It'd be like a "major contributor" Quest.
I think you would just have a hard time getting that pasted the AG guys. But hey, if you can great. It would get people to actually post helpful comments about the game.
