LBT Next Gen Video Fan Game!

Riphstar · **on:** October 21, 2010, 08:41:59 PM

Hey Everyone! Most of you know me as Riph. Firstly late me say I am really sorry for not being on the GOF for so long!.
You can proberly tell by the not alot of posts I have made since my 2005 Joining. Back when I was here, I made a thread with a Land Before Time Game called "Journey to Genesis". Sadly that game never saw the light of day from only small images I posted to keep everyone interested.
But now Riph has returned introducing a new LBT Project, this time it's next gen Titled...

First things first:

1. Yes it is a Land Before Time Fan Game.
2. Project Chronos is not the real title that is it's codename, I can not give away the real title yet, it's a secret hehe.

I have been working on this for some time, and getting the permission from a good friend of mine Project Chronos is a go!.

Believe me this is something new for me too, considering this is a LBT game with Next Gen Graphics and Gameplay...and it's a fangame!?
Since it is a fangame it will not be on any 360 or PS3 console to download or to buy,it will be a free to play game with no charges or anything!...To me this project is something I want to have fun in and to let you all have fun playing it too.

Now keep in mind this game will be in slow process, so please do not get over excited about playing the game right away, since I just started and will be taking my time.

But I will be posting screenshots, nothing that will spoil what this game is going to be about. To start you all off, I will post two screenshots of what to expect The Great Valley will look like with the Engine I will be working with.
Here they are...

Hope that is enough for now to get you going. Because these pictures are not in any form of CG Art, that is really the Great Valley in Game Space.
I will keep posting updates on how the project is progressing, untill then.
Take care!

UPDATE:

It may not look like much from this screenshot but the ray of the bright circle illuminates as you walk under the tree, I will make a video to show it into more detail.

What the effect of the water looks like in our Great Valley, the particles at the bottom is separate to give it that water fall effect. Again I will make a video to show it off.

Here are some Teaser Posters. Big enough for a Desktop background if you desire lol

Haha, thank you Mumbling.

@Campion1 I have yet to start the models for the characters, Right now I am designing the world of the Great Valley, then I will begin working on the models.

@LettuceBacon&Tomato Thank you! great to be back!

Kewl, another LBT game! Maybe we will have all sorts of helpful feedback for each other's projects, though sadly I am concerned about the development of mine, due to the lack of an experienced 3d modeling team.

Wow! It all looks pretty darn good mate! Glad to see you back on the scene again.

Some impressive screenshots so far. Gotta say I'm looking forward to how it will turn out!

Keep us updated with developments as they happen

Thank you everyone it's great to be back again!

I have added to new screenshots to what to expect check them out!.

Mumbling · **Reply #10 on:** October 23, 2010, 02:02:53 PM

Looking good! How did you create the waterfall ?

action9000 · **Reply #11 on:** October 23, 2010, 02:12:30 PM

Whew..what engine is this and how do I get it?

The first shots were so photorealistic, I thought they were photographs...that's an in-game realtime render?? how is anything but a high-end system going to play this game; how many polygons are in those first couple of scenes?

The screenshots are very fantastic indeed. Good luck on the game and hope you keep the folks here informed.

Mother of God. Will 16gb of ram and a Core2Quad Q8200 2.33Ghz processor be enough? Because that's the best machine I have and I bet that's going to be the minimum requirement for a game with graphics like this (not to mention a kickass graphics card). There are people here who are still using P4's.

Looks great, I just hope it will run on my laptop,which has Win.Vista.

It's look like screenshots from Crysis, except for the tree leafs who looks more cartoonish.

But it's better like that. Im not sure that the gang will fit in a total photorealist world. Their color and brightness are very different than the ones used in those screenshots. Like Campion1, i need to see at least one member of the gang in the landscape for see how it looks.

Serris · **Reply #16 on:** October 24, 2010, 07:26:06 PM

Wow. Scenery porn galore.

I just wonder if it will be like Crysis, a "exhibition game" to show off the power of a computer?

Riphstar · **Reply #17 on:** October 30, 2010, 09:39:23 AM

Sorry for not updating, I have been working on the project, also throwing in some Fable 3 playtime too.

But I will try to answer some of the question that you have said.

The Engine is the same that is used in the Batman: Arkham Asylum game a long with the Unity 3D engine.
Hence the look of realism in the game, and yes it will be able to run on a laptop with XP/Vista/Win7. I promise I will try not to make it so graphic hard, I would love it for everyone to be able to play and enjoy the project. So landbeforetimelover, you are safe =)

I know most of you are interested in seeing what the models will look like with such a project, again I have yet to design the models but for everyone I can try and make a sculpture model of one of the LBT characters, that way you can all have an idea what they will look like.

I will keep you all updated when I have something interesting to show lol. But for now time to head back to my revolution.

Ooh! Ooh! I have a question!

Will this game support PhysX? If it will, I think I'm in heaven.

Riphstar · **Reply #19 on:** October 30, 2010, 02:57:47 PM

Yes it will
