Cyber punk city and combat system, read inside before judgeing!

Cyber-Punk, neo-tokyo, hard-rock inspiried city.

AKA always dark, always raining,giant, gritty, rotting buildings. Neon signs, death and destruction run rampant on the streets. What im looking for.

No longer "looking" but still recruiting if you wish to help!

You are thinking right now "WTF NEXUS PRIME RIP-OFF!!!!!", but that is not the intention. I feel nexus prime has, and always did have, a clean look to it. When I mean gritty, I MEAN gritty, as in buildings crumbleing at the base, streetlights malfunctioning. Polution, and a fog that encumbers the city and its residents. If this project does take off (after the success of akar, im doubting this [amazing new revelation, IT HAS TAKEN OFF !) I am planning.

Chin-yen economy system(100L$ for every 1KCY$, so a conversion rate of 1:10) replaceing linden dollors.(ditched, we are using L$ instead)

Malfunctioning robots (this is where the scripters come in) and "mission terminals" allowing you to take missions for chin-yen to destroy such robots.

Player apartments(But, not being allowed to build whatever you want, a funiture owning system will be in place (ex: Buy the piece, say "Apartment 228" and the piece will rez there, then allow you to move via a "Grid" (EX: Say "Pos 201,222" and move within your apartment) this means that all objects will be owned by me, and those not owned by me (bullets) will die after a few seconds anyhow .

Custom battle system: Match arms and wits with plasma, gauss, and lead based weapon systems! Buy the lightest armor and take out your opponent the quick way, or buy the heaviest and feel protected! (Classes have been removed)New weapon upgrade system! Buy attachments for your weapon to make it unique!

Player owned vehicles : (vehicles will be owned by me, but only allow the player who bought it to use it) Players can choose muiltple vehicles to take control of. Some even equiped with weapons !

Now your asking "How will you do all this?" With community support! Which is what im asking. I am requesting community support on this project, simply contact me ingame ("Ryen Jade" and tell me what you wish to do. At this time im requesting all help and my arms are open to any support! Be it land donations or a scripter willing to donate time to this project, I am open! I am also open to (intelligant) suggestions . I will be updating this thread with the city/systems progress.
-------------------

Thanks for reading, now please spread the word, there must be many cyber-punks willing to help !

This idea was influenced by: Blade Runner (duh), Ryen Jade's insane mind,Linkin Park:Breaking the habit video. Vangelis. Neocron. Tabula Rasa. Dungeon Siege. (no, im not denying it, I did get many of these ideas from other sources (except the player apartment/apartment grid ideas) ).

Thanks agian!

Currently Searching For : Clothing Designer With a Cyber-Punk Backround!

I really like your idea but I am very inexperience in the things you need, but if there are any other jobs like tester or u need more citizens contact me

Sounds like William Gibson's vision in Nerumancer. I like it!

Question: Where would you be hosting this, and in how much space?

Adam - as of now we are still looking into it. But it will be either a public sim or a private sim (if we can get funding ).

Yo Ryen, you know I'm there. You dumped Akar in the trash and I'm awaiting this.

Nick, akar died thanks to internal scripters (seeing as my main scripter didnt do jack $hit for akar). Not to mention the I was never fully satisfied with the city.

while i think this will be a labor of love (ie won't pay for it self) i would still like to work some on it.

BUMPAGEEE!

If this can be implemented the right way, it'll rock like nobody's business!

i'm sure you're thinking along the lines of implementing this post-1.4? the cool thing is, as SL updates itself, "Celina" will get better and better as well.

i believe this is one of the things the Lindens were talking about. using SL as a platform/engine to build other "games" within this world. and with that in mind, you have my resounding vote!

i'm not sure if i'd be able to do anything to help, but i definitely would love to "play" it! i could try my hand at textures.. my building skills are not quite up to par for a project like this.. maybe some ideas, but not final builds.

i'll try to contact you in-world about this sometime.

*drools* ..i used to play a pen & paper cyberpunk game, it was too cool and this would be too cool as well. i can see it growing into something pretty big.
honestly? i would get things hammered out, play-test, do a beta-test type of thing. THEN.. i would start charging $L/mo to play. it's going to eventually happen and this would be a worthy candidate for such a thing.
not to mention, paying players would help finance a bigger future for "Celina".

Cybin, that is why we have the conversion We are hoping to make profit off of dwell (obviously!) and also off of conversion rates. I am also going to be building a demo building soon to show potential players what the atmosphere will resemble. (any spelling errors? Sorry, its 3 am :/ ).Cybin, log in, you have an invitation waiting .

Cybin about the L$/month thing. As with above we are going with a conversion rate similar to project entropia. While we may rework this system to force a monthly fee this is what we are planning at the moment.

in some way I'll help!

Sounds like my kinda place. Do it do it do it!

I don't have much to offer, being a poor, unskilled newbie, but if anything occurs to me I will contact you. At the very least I could donate some money.

hmm remind me shadowrun,

by the way i just finished the model of an "Ares predator 2" handgun" i can add lasersight or other things if needed, the lil problem is that ppl who build weapon theses days are always turning the damages to the very maximum, this reqlly piss me off , what is the point of having wepon who kill in one bullet at 10 meters of radius?

Sounds like the NEOCRON mmorpg


www.neocron.com

Rant, im a former neocron player, and read the credits I have already said that neocron was an inspiration. Oh and we are planning for this to be done right, not like how KK f*cked up neocron.

***edited***

Hit me up in game. I'm just beginning LSL, but C/C++/C# is what I do for a living. And building is just getting fun

I'll help with textures when I have time and some sounds. I can also make really precise square buildings. Textures are my strengh and I'd be glad to help there.

Hello, i am know to be a bit of a japanese maker, builder and landscaper, to say the least, and a land and materials texture maker of quality, I would be very interested to help with this, and am great devotee of Blade Runner, long term player of Deus Ex and beta tester and very accomplished high level resident of cyber punk 'Neocron' MMorpg.

I have many ideas and my work is known with SL for great detail and japanese influenced. I also speak Japanese, which may help. I can also assist with any natural landscaping within the idea. wastelands, hidden areas, etc..

Would like to help
