STAY TUNED, ANON.

Basically, it's a pc game some anons on /tg/ are developing that grew out of some other anons having an awesome idea for some stories about a non-existent PC game.

The stories were so good we decided to make it real.

That is unfortunately as far as our coder got before sleep claimed him. we should get to doing more soon.

Let's not waste time ruining things for people, Anon. Let's make the most of the time we have.

Yes, we have talent. Go fuck yourself if you don't lie what we choose to do with it my good sir. We have picked up on something many people wanted, and have decided wwe wanted it bad enough to make it ourselves. Can you claim such a thing? If not, please, feel free to leave, or give us ideas, that we might please the majority.

I feel like a lot of the stats could be, at least partially, inspired by the random chapter creation rules in Deathwatch.

There is only one pic that is related to this project. And it is the one i hereby use.

>Ultrasmurfs should get hit hard

Well, we actually talked about this a bit. The idea some of us (read: me) are pushing goes like this: with a chapter's greater success rating and growing power comes greater responsibility and expectation.

If the Ultrasmurgs are so fucking great, they're going to get the WORST assignments and be expected to execute like they're the fucking Grey Knights.

NO MORE FREE LUNCHES, YOU BUTT-BOYS FOR MATT WARD. FROM HERE ON OUT, YOU EARN THAT SPIRITUAL LIEGE BULLSHIT.

>relic detected

>>16527709

I fucking love this idea.

I can't believe it's getting done.

Okay, so I wrote a HUGE fucking infodump that's getting ready for posting in a new thread all of its own (it's like fifteen goddamn posts worth, so deal).

Now I'm finishing things up and writing the FAQ, and I want to ask people if they want to add questions to it.

Here's what I have so far:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1) WHERE'S THE DOWNLOAD LINK?

2) I'm one of the anons that was developing this before! Who the fuck are you guys and what do you think you're doing with our project? Why aren't you considering our ideas?

3) I'm a Games Workshop employee/affiliate/fanboy/lawyer and I think you're doing something wrong! Why are you taking money from the company/infringing on copyrights/eating our delicious fetuses?

4) What happens when you guys get your Cease & Desist letter? Yeah, you think about that, smart guy?

5) I have a tiny brain. Can you explain what's happening to me again, please?

6) Those design goals and feature categories are broad and vague. Can you at least tell me what kind of games the programmers are looking to for inspiration so we can know what kind of flavor to expect from your end of the project?

7) Will I be able to play my custom chapter/mod chapters in this game?

8) Will I be able to fall to chaos/play fukken xenoooos/play guard or Sororitas or =][=/etc?

9) In the grim darkness of the ASCII future, there is only war. Will I be able to control tactical battles? Does the combat auto-resolve?

Continued below.

>>16527815

Continues.

10) I like Dwarf Fortress/Space Hulk How much micromanagement am I going to be able to do here?

11) When can I play it again?

12) This isn't going to cost me anything, is it?

13) How can I support you guys?

14) I have an idea I want to see in the game, how do I get you to put it in?

15) You guys are some shadowy fucks. Who does your team consist of exactly/how do I get ahold of you?

>>16527803
Thanks for the effort, Anon.

>>16527792
Yes, this is real. Stay tuned for the next thread, which will have a big fucking infodump in it.

Pretty awesome project guys.

Wish I knew anything about anything, would love to help out.

How exactly does this work? I've downloaded the game+.NET Framework 4 but all I get is a white screen with buttons on the bottom that do nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

>>16527851
you're doing nothing wrong, it's just that is all that has been programmed, much more is being planned and coded but that is all we have at the moment

Anon, I want you to read these posts:

>>16527461

If that doesn't make sense, then please understand the following: the program you're running is our earliest release. It is a pre-alpha written as a proof of concept for our random chapter generator, and meant solely to give you some jollies from procedural chapter generation stuff.

We apologize if we have given you disappoint, but our aggressive release schedule will likely make it less of a sad experience for you.

(Fuck, I knew I should've told Vis to delete this thread when I saw that first post ><)

But now I know and wait patiently. Godspeed chapter master dev team. Godspeed.

God dammit!!!!! I've downloaded this and it doesn't work properly (the buttons don't work) after I've installed .Net Framework 4. Is there anything else I should do to get it started?

We could still use your help, Anon. Stay tuned for input on how.

>>16527922
You're playing a proof of concept testbed that tests only one feature, there is no actual game yet. Read this post for details: >>16527882

>>16527962
Pity. Still I like your idea. Thus I shall be waiting for it, for my patience is eternal. And while waiting, I'll be drinking coffee from my cup that I've got from the Inquisition.

>>16527984
And then the Ultramarines and the inquisition both came at you like rabid wolverines with buzzsaws, right?

>>16528006

2) I NOW HAVE 2000 MARINES
3) OMG =][=
4) KILL EM ALL
????????????????
5) HERESY

>Custom Chapter

>Raptor Kings now kept under inquisition eyes. Reputation plummets.

>We later find out that the "infiltrator" was a Raptor.

>>16528011
We are.
It's our primary source of inspiration. This is partly why we're going with an all text-based system.

>>16528046

So it's basically "Real Lives: 40k Edition"?

>>16528027

To be honest, as long as you're a good little post human super solider, 99% of the Inquisition has more important things to worry about then if you're following some ten thousand year old book of suggestions. Like you know, actual threats to the Imperium.

>>16528058
>10,000 space marines
>not a threat to the imperium
I don't think you understand how inquisitors think.

>>16528046
oh god
oh god
yes
yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

>>16528070
Also it's a hell of a lot easier to code than anything involving graphics.

>>16528027
So mainstream,

>>16528082
Its a shame what you guys are doing is illegal because otherwise I would love to do 2d art for a game inspired by KODP.

Illustrator (for a living) with very fond memories of that game.
It really is a shame that more games like KODP were never made.

Best of luck guys what you are doing sounds really fun.

>>16528120
Actually paying tribute to anothers work, wilst deriving no profit from it yourself is entirely legal. I'm a musician by trade, so most of my schooling involved the laws covering Intellectual Property.

>>16528070
There IS KoDp PnP already.

>>16528139
GW fucking suck when it comes to IP though. That said if we can sneak this by it would be awesome.

>Commissar Yarrick has been attached to a Power Klaw!

>>16528011

Confirming KoDP is our primary inspiration so far.

>>16528120

Yeah, I'm not sure we're going to get skewered on any legal petards in the long run. And if anyone moves to try to do any skewering, we can always do what Teardown did when they made Alien Assault.

>>16528054

Not...really. But if you want it to be, I guess we could listen to why it'd be better that way.

>The captain's banner is bisque with blond border. On it is a honey badger and an iron fist representing their history of glorious but pyhrric victories.

So, they're effectively Hufflepuff House. I am okay with this.

>>16528139
>>16528170
pfftf I don't know it would be fair if they could not get you if its not for profit but i think I remember them shutting down allot of fan mods soo hmm... They make allot of money selling their brand if anyone can pick up and use it its very very very bad for their business. SO they will always try and stamp out anything.

If I was you guys I would plan for the worst. Make a game very 'inspired' by 40k but not the same. But make the game with easy modding in mind, after you release the game also release a 'fan made' mod that turns it into 40k the next day. Hell you might even be able to see the original game or get some donations that way.

Just play dumb is the idea. Then again maybe this is just me being over cautious. Also if you make it easy to add in 2D art that might be interesting later...

>>16527738
You are shitting me?

Eccelsiarchy prestige over 75 kicks ass because you can petition the local Adepta Sororitas convent for help if shit creek is really where you are up.

Only other force in the universe to make heavy use of power armour and bolters and they don't have a number cap.

Sure it may take 3 of them to equal 1 Astartes but when some of the convents number up to near 10,000 it is suddenly so much fun.

Only real downside is that you have to Imperial Creed trait and destroy most of the "Interesting" artifacts if they are encountered.

Oh, and if you post a Librarian on the same campaign then you loose 5 bro points with them.

You should do what broquest did and put up some sort of forum where we can see the progression.

>>16528214
So people can bitch how little there is?

They should just ignore every fucking person who is not helping them.

Also they might want to start new threads for this because its going to derail the green text T_T

>>16528226
In versions later than 1.0, this is a planned feature.

In 1.0, we expect it will be possible with enough modding.

NEW THREAD WITH INFODUMP IS UP, GET IT HERE: >>16528293

>>16528411
heh, was just going to ask about it.

Alright, this thread's been archived. Please move to the new one >>16528293 for further discussion.
