New FOF Project (6/9)

[Atticus2]

I was kind of looking for something with 3 syllables and a nice acronym.

What about "Key-tar Ablaze" - KTA?

Im stumped on a name.

thats 4 syllables...

how about Keytar: Tactics (LOLOLOL)

no seriously, Frets A'Burning or Fab for short :P

Thats 4 syllables. =) haha.

But Frets A'Burning does have a nice sounds too it. It is easy on the tongue so you dont get mixed up on your words.

Since this is so similar to FOF, i feel that i should call it something similar but then again i dont want to use something like "FOF (C++ Edition)"

I want a new, but similar name to FOF, does anyone have any ideas. Please post them here and i will be checking this when i get home tonight.

Everything is coming along great. I have a fully functional Keyboard and Joystick ( X-plorer Controller ) going. Tonight i will be working on sound and adding in a 2nd player. Soon i will be getting the site made on Freewebs, so thats why i ask for a new name. Anyways, see you guys later on tonight.

Just post your name suggestions here. Dont do it through PM. I want others to see them too.

What about FOF 2? or have we already made that? LOL *waits for insults*

Why don't just Atticus Mod? Is this completely a new whole game? Not a mod? I know its written in a new language.

Well being that it is written in a new language will make it run differently. This is what i am anxious to find out. I want to see the effects that C++ puts on it. Better or for worse.

-Edit-
okay, so basiclly, this project is way to big for me to do on my own. So what i want to do is ask a few people to volunteer and make a team for this project.

So if you want to be apart of this team, please put your name and role that you want to be. Wel will need quite a few testers but also i do want some coders to help me. I will be making a list on the OP and display positions that are filled.

Alright, I'm all for testing :D

I might think of some things to help with, such as graphics. I'll come up with a few possible logos as well as some in-game graphics once I get some specifications on what it will look like.

If you really want to get people involved in this project, publicly available version control is probably the way to go.

Anyone with a Google account can create a project on Google Code - you've probably seen how beneficial it has been to the FoFiX project.

I wouldn't call it "FoF 2.0" though...

I know, i really do not want to call it FOF 2.0, but i cant figure out another name. "Frets A'Burning" is my most favored out of any suggested. Please keep making suggestions and making Team suggestions/requests.

You should put unofficial there and contact Unreal Voodoo before saying FOF 2.0. Anyway, I'll be the tester and I'll help with graphics in any way I can.

Both of you have been added to Testers and Graphics.
I really need some coders who use VC++ by MS. I am using the SDL Libraries. Please contact me through E-mail or on here if you have any experience with C++ and you are interested in helping out.

I can do graphics and be a tester. I'm already working on FOF:live, so i might a ways help with this.

I assume portability is an afterthought, then.

If the Windows-specific code that has probably made its way into there already isn't too bad, it may not be too painful to make it portable again.

I don't use MSVC that much, preferring gcc, but I'd like to have a look at what's going on.

well, i do want to make it availible to MAC and Linux but im not completly sure how to make this possible yet.
And you being one of the developers for FoF(iX), i will gladly show you some code when some actual progress gets done. I am working on making the menu right now. So hopefully i will have all the code for that done by the end of the week.

For all who doesnt know (which is everyone) this is my coleege. He will be helping code the project out. We will try to keep everything as professional as possibe when it comes to conversations on the forums though.

I am acually liking "Frets A'Burning" now.

[doomtron]

If you need more testers put my name down. I think it would be awesome to test this.
