Notice that I'm present in more than one slot? That's permitted.

Also notice there are no leadership positions. Everyone has an equal say. If we cannot come to an agreement, we take a vote to decide, and the choice with the most votes is followed.

Here are the rules:

• As always, follow the CG, even on GitHub. You can mention pertinent apps that Scratch dislikes, however.
  
• You need a GitHub account. I'm sorry, you really do need one. It's easy to get one however.
  
• As mentioned above, everyone has an equal say in the outcome of this project. If you didn't see it, here is it restated:
  
• Also notice there are no leadership positions. Everyone has an equal say. If we cannot come to an agreement, we take a vote to decide, and the choice with the most votes is followed.
  
• Don't revert changes that have been approved, unless you have a good reason.

hm okay

might join this later, once I’ve set my computer back up.

one thing though: I’ve never used Godot before. how does collaboration work? like, how do you export unbuilt files? does it mesh with github? (edit: I read the website, it does)

I also have some questions about the design. do you have sketches of what you want to game to be like? what sort of genre is it? what is the gameplay like? what sort of aesthetic are you going for? what map are we using?

I don’t think this is an Advanced Topics sort of thing. maybe Collaborations instead?

I picked ATs bc I wanted off-Scratch coders. I'll respond to the resto of the questions later.

It can mesh with GitHub, if you're slightly lazy like me you just use GitHub desktop. Godot is a reasonably simple game engine that is quite fast and supports old hardware. It's main language, GDScript, is like Python in some ways. The other language this project may use, C++, is what Godot is written in, and is much faster than GDScript, while being more complex.

It's primarily a higher-res pixel art game, with more HD art for menus and stuff. As for a genre… I dunno. I am horrible with Genres and I hardly know any for anything. I'm thinking a tilemap-based game that uses ones rotated 45 degrees like OpenTTD: https://www.openttd.org/screenshots/1.3-03-opengfx-1920x1200.png. I don't think I'll use Isometric textures, but it's possible. A city can be marked o… Actually, I'll throw together a mockup. Be one moment.

I mean, is it a grand strategy game (eg. Hearts of Iron 4), or something else, like an exploration game?

The goal with this game is, essentially, to recreate CCRPIV in video game form. So major parts of the game would be war, exploration, and treaties (albiet THAT system will take a while to work out).

I forgot to address the map question, for that I'm thinking we'll use a tilemap, so we can have maps be saved as files. Thus, we could easily create maps emulating CCRPIV, CCRPIII, CCRPII, CCRP, The World, or any other map of our choice.

so basically an indie, simpler version of Europa Universalis with a different map? sounds good to me. I’ve always wanted to make something like this.

Nice. If you were wondering, I decided on this small-indie-game-or-minor-open-source-thing of having no leadership positions, bc when a major leader goes inactive he'll often make the rest of the project go inactive as well. So I did this, as we're unlikely to get more then 10 members anyways.

yeah, I read that.

I have no experience with Github/Godot, but I can likely try to learn it and I think since I've helped develop the features of CCRP I could help you make a list of necessary features or otherwise cool things. I've considered such a game before but never had the skill to attempt to make it. So if you want some help with overall outline I can help with that! A CCRP in video game form would be far better than text or any basic strategy game. The armies that could be commanded, Units to be made, Cities to be built, the exploration etc.

Thanks!

Lol, with a little modification, that could be our slogan: The armies that could be commanded, Units to be made, Cities to be built, the Lands to explore!

EDIT: I added an ideas section if you want to sign up. Then again, you're the Head Admin; maybe you should be automatically added. Ah well, everybody has to sign up.

I finally got a chance to take a look at this, and the premise is a great one though it'd be hard to pull off some of the CCRP IV mechanics. I have a good grasp of Python though, and know GDScript is similar, so since I'm not too scared of learning slightly different syntaxes and have a bit of experience with GitHub I'm going to apply.

Sounds Intresting

So is this like a WW2 RTS game?

eh, sorta kinda. not WW2 themed, and not based primarily on war.

Hmm okay. Then what would be a good description of the game?
