Chao World - Fan Game

Post by StarLand »

Image
Let's Play (Dev Video) is coming soon...

Chao World is an fan game made from scratch with a lot of tools.
This Fan Game includes the default sheme of a Chao Garden and
some new features like Advanced Interaction etc.

Chao World is one of my biggest project ever (2014-?).
It is the first 3D Chao Garden (I guess) with basic of Unity.
We're a small team with 9 members (State July 2015).

History

December 2014: Project start.
January 2015: Yeah, a long time my interest is wasted. So, I thought
I forget all of this and I never tried to continue this. I made an backup of my work
on one of my empty CD's R. So, I put the CD in my box with old stuff.
February 2015: I opened some more threads about this project on a lot of other
Sonic Fan Forums (Still no more interest). I left all that in some days.
March 2015: I did nothing for Chao World. I only tried to find a good Engine.
Previously 3D GameStudio 8.
April 2015: I got my interest back, So I mad a lot of Chao Gardens and I'd
Composed some songs.
May 2015: I removed my old stuff from Chao World.
June 2015: My friend and me continued that old Work I found my old backup.
So, I got Unity and my friend made some Models etc. That's the right beginning of Chao World.
July 2015: Chao World is almost reached Alpha and that Chao System is
working good. Menu, Lobby is done and some logical scripting has been done.
And the team got a lot of new members for all that stuff we do every day.
Today: ...

Not that I can help much, but even if all you've got is a basic engine with some placeholder graphics, it's generally a good idea to have something concrete to show off before trying to recruit others for a collaborative project.

I would like but I need some resources from Sonic games (Chao World) As example from: SA2B, SADX, SAB (DC)...
And If I have coded some objects etc. Will I upload a preview as evidence.

Thanks, I'll coding the Models for the Chao Garden.
Nice that are *.mdl files. My 3D Modeling program supports *.mdl.

edit:
I'm working on the Chao model right now.

I will try to make this fan made lifelike like in SA2. :walkto:
Give me luck, I hope it.

Edit 2:
1. Yeah, now it have stereoscopic 3d. You must install the 3d vision driver for nVidia.
2. Main Menu Finish.

Your'e going to want not only high res chao models, but models of all the chao's stat evolutions, and alignment combos, because i'm pretty sure the original game blends 2 at any given time together to create gradual evolution (also meaning they need to have the same number of vertices)
This isn't easy to say, but…

N- no. Minecraft never started in Unity. No where on the internet ever even remotely hinted at that. Minecraft was created in Java. Don't spread misinformation please.

:surprise: I know it's a little bit complicate with fruits, stats etc. But I do it. Also, I'll define the fruits and animals with variables.
The variables have a default stand. And with some if() and while() command are nothing inpossible.

1. Yes are you good in composing?

2. Yes I hope I find a good server.
My Idea was we have a online server with a big chao garden for all players.

Good, I must to define the model regions.
Or I make individual components in a Model.
.:Constella:. wrote:I can help with any 2D design, such as some new item icons or anything like that. I'd love to help out! :sway:
Yes I need 128x128 icons. Also for the black market. [fruits-eggs-etc].

Edit:

I big update now I have some stats and fruits finished. And I'm still working on the Chao Garden.
I'll upload the latest screenshots soon... But it's a little bit too unfinished the Chao Garden I think. :wink:

I give support for this.
I'd definitely give a newer Chao Garden a shot. With that said I'm not good at animating or programming, so if you want help for anything except placeholder animation then don't come to me.
My favorite Sonic Game is Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast.

Yes of course.
I need:

* Background Music (For Chao Garden, Black Market etc.)
* 2D Icons (128x128)
* HD Textures. (Not smaller than 256x256)
* A users to help correct my English

Edit:
Update:

I'll change from Unity to CryEngine 3. It's a litte bit better.
CryEngine allows me to use (fully) C and C++. And UnityScript is a little bit too empty.

When it comes to programming stuff, I would range myself in the range of being as competent as a fish.
But I will be a cheerleader for this project. And when it is further along, I may be able to help with things regarding questions of breeding, and consulting on those sorts of topics, if that would be helpful.

Anyway, I wish you the best of luck in this. I think this is a really cool plan, and you all are doing things far beyond my capabilities.

I'm learning how to sprite. may I be of any service?
my sprites may not be the best, as I'm still learning, but they could be placeholder icons until better replacements... ^^'

Renderer + First Evolution Preview

Edit:

I need users to help me with in game texts in English.
Or in other languages like French, Spain...

The Chao Model have some compnents:

Body + Head -> This will be change the color and style for e.g. dark, hero, netral...
Wing -> The same like Body and Head

Edit 2:

Currently I have no chance to the cry-engine but don't worry
I have used Blender. It's good, blender have included a real-time game engine.

Please select a mapping type for:

* Shiny Chao
* Normal Chao
* Reflection Objects
* Medals
* Pocals
* Misc stuff

This project looks great! Unfortunately I cannot help that much myself (especially since I'm not that familiar with blender; I've done all my 3D modelling with 3DS Max), but I can show my support.

By the way, is the project site down? I tried to check it out but it could not connect to the site.

No my site is not down but the hostinger sucks a little bit.
You can connect later, so, try again later to connect to the website.
And yes you're good at 3DS MAX?
That's perfect I need some modellers etc. :darkhappy:

Edit:
I am thinking on an Chao garden editor.
But do I do it? I'll see but before I'll add this I need opinions.
(So far that is... Maybe on future versions like 1.2, 1.3...)

You know what would make gradual evolution possible? Shape keys on the child model.

What are shape keys? Like morph handles in Spore assets, shape keys can makes models dynamic and versatile. As the evolution magnitude increases, so does the slider for the shape keys.

This game is in blender developing. This mean blender is a modelling and animations... software.
I can make for the Chao's components...

Oh, a dev thread, subbed.

What language is this in? is it planned as open or closed source? What License are you using?

I assume from your blog your righting in C plus plus, but screen shots apears to display .NET if I recall correctly so Visual C?
