Plan for Tobias Rosenbaum

by Tobias Rosenbaum · 12/12/2004 (11:25 am) · 5 comments

The plan is to make a 3D Person Shooter resembling Savage with a Science Fiction Setting AND additional features.
Teams fight over control of factories and research labs to produce & improve equipment.

The general idea is to have a rather big map featuring multiple sites. Each team has a commander who either gives out the orders himself or relies on lieutnants to take command over a group of players / bots in order to accomplish certain objectivs.

The game is supposed to feature vehicles and multiple character roles like Sniper etc., which become available if the necessary equipment is being produced at a factory.

Different play modes are planed.

The main mode, invasion sets up the two sides one as the attacker and one as the defender. The defender controls all sites and looses after he lost all spawn points. Attackers can drop everywhere on the map, but they need to capture a bridgehead in order to move the heavy stuff (tanks...) in.

That makes me wonder what they spent all that money on, Savage is a fun game, but I could of made the same game with the right people for about 50k (most for advertising). I remember seeing ads for Savage months in advance so I'm going to assume they spent a majority of that mil on marketting. Nuts. :)

If that figure includes salaries, it doesn't seem completely unrealistic.

Illumina is hoping to emulate gameplay similar to savage

Only on a smaller scale :)

Good luck though, I recommend getting the RTS starter kit to help you along the way
