Kuya Lee Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 (edited) Howdy folks :wave: Laurence here-- its been a while since I've logged on (mad apologies to Group 6 of FBC1!) but I've got an interesting update and I wanted to break it to the Phatmass community first I've formed a game development company -- White Knight Games -- and our first PC computer game is only a few months away from completion... hence being outrageously busy [img]http://www.whiteknightgames.com/lee/weblogo.jpg[/img] Our goal is to produce high quality Christian entertainment that reinforces common Christian values, Bible scripture and non-violent gameplay, combined with great graphics and fun gameplay so that our games can be enjoyed by all ages. A beta website (complete with latin placeholder text) is up and will be fleshed out soon: [url="http://www.whiteknightgames.com/beta/wk_home.html"]http://www.whiteknightgames.com/beta/wk_home.html[/url] We're making a Christian computer game -- "Timothy & Titus" and are looking at publishers who can bring the game to market, so your support and prayers would be much appreciated. As we're from Perth, Australia, its all a bit of a challenge but we're actually going to be in Portland, Oregon from July 28-30 at the Christian Game Developers Conference (CGDC). I'll rock my Phatmass shirt and take some pics Anyhoo-- just letting ya'll know-- so expect frequent updates on how things are going.. I'd love to hear any feedback / comments as we get closer to release to get a feel for how the game might be received in the marketplace-- so feel free to drop me a line at laurence@whiteknightgames.com PS. PM producers & rappers -- I loved Massmatics and would love to promo some work as part of the flash game we're developing as well Edited June 29, 2005 by Kuya Lee
MC Just Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 i actually have a track called "warrior saints" that woould be dope for it. but i'd have to wait until the album is done.
dUSt Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Wow. I've been dreaming about something like this. Except my dream was to make an online RPG, where characters could become priests, knights, etc. Protecting the Eucharist would be the goal of the game.
Paladin D Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Sounds awesome! Though a question: Why does your [b]About Us[/b] page have Blizzard Entertainment and Starcraft Ghost featured?

[right][snapback]629133[/snapback][/right] [/quote] lol Sorry-- the link I gave is to the beta page as the blog, forums and ecommerce is still being integrated The latin and basically all the content on the pages is all placeholder text (ie. pls ignore ) Sorry to confuse, check back in a week or two and the site will be up in its proper form, with more info about us and the game we're making.. a trailer is a few weeks away and there will be some juicy screenshots soon

White Knight Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Awww, they named a game studio after me, how nice.. lol j/k its cool, besides White Knight isn't my name many people have used it before me, I'm just another guy who likes the name. "White Knight." Anyway I think its cool there starting something like this, we need more games that are good. and MORAL! [b]You guys have my Support![/b] The White Knight.
Laudate_Dominum Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 It's a PC game? Windows only? Have you licenced a commercial game engine, are you using an open source engine, or have you developed one from scratch? I'm really quite curious about the technical details. Is it 3D or 2D? I didn't see any screen shots on the site or anything. I'm curious because I've had something in the works as far as a Christian game company goes and I'm just wondering if we are on the same page. That is awesome. Cheers.

Hopefully we'll get there The engine is Cipher-- www.cipherengine.com -- A commercial engine ala Quake 3 technology, that is now available on the cheap, has decent features, and good development potential. Screenshots are being uploaded by our web devs as we speak-- check back Monday/Tuesday and they should be there You've had something in the works as well? Awesome mate-- let us know if we can be of help / assistance or if we're thinking on the same lines

I had 5 awesome graphics designers and several developers ready to get started, but I can't exactly retain them without a ton of money, and without the deal, I've got nothing.. I'm sure another opportunity will present itself one day.

Its starting to get tough, being this late in the game and console cycle players are getting more demanding and development more intensive-- if you think we can ever be of assistance or help dont hesitate to holla hey!

Cheers Laurence [right][snapback]654007[/snapback][/right] [/quote] That would be great. I just have basically no budget right now. A lot of the games I would like to develop will require a multi-million dollar budget, and I'm not sure if that will ever happen. I have one Catholic game in particular that I like conceptually, it's totally epic, but I'm trying to start more modestly.

[right][snapback]654010[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Cool. Yeah, we should talk. What do you think of Unreal technology? Also, have you checked out the OGRE engine at all? I have the source code for it and think it seems pretty decent. The price and licensing are certainly good. Also, for 3D design I lean toward Maya. What software are you into? Just curious.

Actually Im not a developer at all-- Anino Entertainment www.aninoentertainment.com handles all the technical side of our JV.. When we went through engines I think they evaluated quite a few and based on its merits, Cipher got the go-ahead-- I know Ogre was a contender. Unreal would be 'unreal' hehe-- though the licensing is a killer from what I hear-- Maybe for our sequel I think the Anino artists use 3dsmax?
Paladin D Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 Imagine if you got your hands on Half-Life 2's physics engine.
