So… I had this awesome idea. Why not make a game… kinda like a a never ending shooter (remember smash tv for snes??) except make it massively multiplayer, and have zombies attacking… and you just go around with your friends (LAN style)… killling… zombies… LOTS OF THEM!!!
LIke a top down, 2d explore the map, shoot some zombies, and have fun while doing it game… Except, i wanted to include some rpg elements… like you have to level up (kill enough ZOMBIES) before you can get better guns… and you guns can wear out… and you deffinately need to go back to base to pick up some new ammo and get healed…
OH YEAH! The coolest part is fully destructable environments!!! and since its top down… and flat, it shouldn’t be too taxing … uhmm well with my vast programming experience… i new that uhmm my c++ skill wouldn’t cover it and stuff… so i decided to try and get some help… oh and uhmm java became the language of choice (duh) so uhmmm i am deffinately well versed in graphic design (stuff like that… yeah…) uhmm but as you might gather, my programming skills are lacking… but i still wanna make this awesome game!!! (ooo and i make some pretty sweet music… touareg2!!! yeah!) but uhmmm yeah… anyone out there up for it? cuz i have the whole summer off… and nothing to do…
It looks a lot like Crimsonland. Blah3 is/was working on a game called Survivor, based on Smash TV.

I dont mean to sound horrible and rude, but have you actually made a game before? In a similar complexity to the one you are talking about?
Destructable terrain via a server and MMORPG…good choice! :
Why dont you start easy, do a snake clone, then get the feel of java, and keep this idea in the back of your mind. Ive done the same, and im working on the game ive always wanted to make now (after a couple of years of making my own libraries!)
Again, im not meaning to sound horrbile, just some advice.

We’re looking for a good artist to do 3d models, textures, etc for Survivor v2. Feel free to send me some example art you’ve done before if you want to get involved.
