Title: Thirku - A CreativeMMORPG Project
Post by: Twee on October 22, 2013, 10:33:33 pm: Hello, everyone!

Back in April of this year, Mobius, Aegis/Velnoir, Jehuty1994 and myself founded what has come to be known as Bampot Studios. What's awesome about this is that we are now officially a small, indie game-developing band of misfits!

Yep, you heard right. We're making a game.

You've probably seen a lot of people who are developing games similar to FH and Impressive Title and even Impressive World servers and the like. You can add Thirku, our current CreativeMMORPG project, to that list - however, there are a few differences.

Firstly, Thirku is being made completely from scratch. All of the models will be made by yours truly, many of them will also be animated by myself. The maps will be made by myself, and most of the actual appearance of the GUI interface and the options will also likely be done by myself. All of the coding and programming will be done by Mobius, and some help in making the models and animating will be given in the form of my personal guardian angel (of wurst), Velnoir. Our friendly neighbourhood Member Co-ordinator Moderator Jehuty1994 will also be accepting Staff applications sometime down the line if the community for the game becomes bigger.

Secondly, Thirku will have many features that other games may not. Some of the features that will be in the Alpha release include:

o Four models: Wolf, Dog, Lion and Cat
o A huge, beautiful and seamless world for you to explore and roam at your discretion
o NPC characters
o Items
o Prey that you will be able to track and hunt in a realistic manner
o A day/night system
o Levels and stats
o Achievements
o Separate "Rooms" within the server: Mature and PG will be available!
o And hopefully much more!

We have a lot lined up for the game even after the initial Alpha release and intend to update it as often as we can manage. Quests, a PvP area mode and an in-game map maker unlike you've ever seen before will be included in the Beta release, just as an example!

Alpha release keys will be given out at random to members of the official Thirku forum (http://thirku.boards.net/). Every month, more users will be invited to join the game as Alpha (and eventually, Beta) testers, though at this point in time we are unsure as to how many per month will be given keys. There is also a suggestion system so that users can make their voice heard. The players of the game are its heart, and we are devoted to making a game that you guys, the players, can enjoy.

The game progress journal itself can be viewed within the Thirku forum. New members are of course completely welcome! We have a lot to offer with this game, and rest assured - we will see it through.

The ideas behind Thirku has already proven to flourish. We have so many ideas concerning the world of Thirku that we already have a singleplayer game lined up once a Beta version of the Multiplayer is released.

So come along and say hi in the Thirku forums (http://"http://thirku.boards.net/)! We're a friendly bunch, I promise. ;P

We're also currently holding a literature contest! Come join in the fun! <33

Thank you so much for reading! We hope you're just as excited as we are!

Thank you, Vespian! We've made some progress - setbacks concerning the real world and our student lives tend to get in the way sometimes, but it's a project we are determined to see through. It means a lot to know that it's an interesting idea!

Post by: unnbrellas on October 23, 2013, 02:26:33 am: This sounds amazing! A definite cross of IT and FH, although much improved. Although, what is your realism goal? Will there be wings, drastically unrealistic markings, ect, or a strict realistic theme? Or a nice mix between?

Goodluck!
Title: Re: Thirku - A CreativeMMORPG Project
Post by: Twee on October 23, 2013, 02:40:00 am: Our aim is to allow a great range of creativity - not sure about wings on canine and feline characters etc. but we are looking into the possibility of adding models such as dragons to the game. :3 Like FH, groups will be implemented so that roleplayers can band together and create their own roleplays and even apply for their own room (complete with either usage of the public map(s) or their own custom-made/downloaded map) on the server to roleplay on.

Right now, we're looking into providing a range of both realistic and unrealistic markings. We're aiming to give players full creativity over the creations of their own characters.

Will you be able to like.. HAVE pups/cubs? It'd definitely add to realism...

Post by: Chunky_Squirrel on October 24, 2013, 07:34:08 pm: It is definetly a cool idea, and i would join you, but a question is bothering me. When you said userses will be able to make there maps, will it be abit similar to FH map making, or will it be with coding stuff? P.S. Goodluck on the game making. cx

Post by: hugrf2 on October 25, 2013, 12:31:33 am: I've been stalking this thread a bit, I'm a little interested, though I'd like to see the progress for a bit before joining just in case, really... But I'm sure it's going to be a wonderful game still.

Indeed sounds interesting to me! Though, will there be an age requirement? And PvP fighting perhaps? Also, about the hunting and following the PvP fighting if it is going to be, will there be blood and gore? Just wondering.

Thanks~ :3

Hi Hugrf!

The game is going to be for ages 12 and up, and yes, PvP is going to be implemented via its own special 'Arena Mode' or sorts. Players will be able to fight others of the same species (canines VS canines etc.) for level-ups and other cool boons like items. It will not be gory in any way, though. It's really just mild fantasy violence in that respect - the most there'll be is some angry sounds and animations and a health bar. c: Same with hunting - health bars, but very little gore.

Even if we did decide to put a little blood in there, we would also include an option that would allow for it to be turned off - it would also only be active on the Mature room. The same is true for things like cursing - there will be an automatic censor in place on the PG room and an option to disable and enable it on the Mature room. We're trying to allow people to have as much liberty as we can without offending others or causing discomfort, especially to younger players.

Thanks for posting! ;v;

Hi Oreo! 8D Yeah, we went with the PEGI rating system for the game itself, though the forum does require users to be at least 13 years of age.

Yes, though the single player campaign may possibly be released as a separate game. We're looking into it and haven't decided everything yet - you'll just need to wait and see! c; Thank you for the support! It means a lot to us! <33

Post by: hugrf2 on October 29, 2013, 08:39:22 pm: Sorry for replying sort of late. But I can wait 'till I'm 12 which is in months, like.... three or two months. (January 7th) Though about the forum, do I have to wait until I'm 13 to go on the forum or is it 12+ too? Sorry, I don't think I'm really paying much attention..

Thank you for answering my previous questions, Twee. I'm looking forward to this, anyway, since I can wait two years aswell as one if I have to, perhaps, though who knows if I really am around here on the internet by that time. (I probably will, since I'm almost always bored with nothing to do.)

Anyway, again, good luck!

Since the forum is Proboards, we're using their Terms of Service - which unfortunately require members to be 13 or over. The game will be accessible without the need for a forum account when it comes out however. The reason the game is for 12+ is because we're using the PEGI rating system as a guideline. c;

No problem! I'm glad you're interested, and thank you for wishing us luck! <33

Title: Re: Thirku - A CreativeMMORPG Project
Post by: OreoHeroz on November 05, 2013, 08:54:47 pm: Well I was just browsing through the forums and noticed a topic asking the same question; here is a quote from it:

Quote
Thirku is mostly meant as a community experience. When I first played games like FeralHeart and other MMOs I found that I made a lot of friends, but never found the game itself very fulfilling. ;v; Thirku is based around this idea to be as creative as you want in creating characters but with substantial enough gameplay (as well as general roleplaying) to make it fun at the same time.

The animals will be kept mostly a surprise. ;3 The Alpha release of the game will definitely include wolf and lion models as well as domestic dog and cats. Dragons and potential avian creatures are also on the cards, but we'll need to see how it goes!

As for what the game is about, we're saving big things for the single player campaign. We haven't quite decided what to call it yet, but Thirku and the singleplayer will both be from the same setting. The singleplayer is currently put down as an adventure/RPG game that you'll be able to play a little bit like Heavy Rain (if you've ever played that game) where every choice you make can change the story.

We've got some really great ideas going on, but in regards to the singleplayer game, we don't know when that will come out. Being in University as full-time students, Scott and I would need a lot more time than we currently have to put something together like what we've got in mind. As for Thirku here, we're going to keep many of the plans a secret until they're released as a surprise. :3
