Starting development on a new kaiju game!

What would the time table be for a project of this size?

@GMAN I would like to get a jump start by December (gives me time to clear out College classes and finish the semester). Hopefully I can get a good amount of progress on the engine before the next semester or a little after. I would definitely like to start releasing demos throughout the year to keep the interest flowing. I have no definitive time table but I’d like to go at a good enough pace so I dont lose anyone.

Sounds awesome! Hopefully you won't get the red light by ToHo, (If You're gonna use Godzilla kaiju)because we really do need a new game. Maybe something along the lines of Daikaiju Battle Royale, since it runs on flash. Unfortunately, flash is being discontinued next year, so us fans may not be able to play it anymore. 

I actually had fun memories when flash was still available,i beated Godzilla Daikaiju Royale without any Codes.

@GojiFanPat i’m actually going to use a Godzilla model during prototyping to get a sense of what I want to happen. Plus it’ll be temporary until I get the models done. 

Holy crap! This sounds awesome! Do be careful of copyright, though. Especially when making an entire game without the permission. 

As for the music, maybe sometimes you hear one of the themes of the creature you're fighting? Like having the original Godzilla theme if you're fighting the Hesei or Showa Godzillas. Orchestral is definitely the way to go, and throw in some choir in there too! I think a good example would be the theme from Requiem for a dream, but that might be just be me.

Sounds awesome. Can't wait to play it when it's finished. Good luck.

GOOD LUCK BOY!

@TheLazyFish The whole game will be original. The only thing I’ll use Godzilla for is testing game mechanics. You wont see him in any demos or the final product. As for music,  I would definitely love to give each monster their own theme/battle music. 

@MinecraftDinoKaiju @Ganimes Thank you both! I hope I can deliver an great experience for you all :)

@ChrisRemix

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood lol. So it'll kinda be like Pacific Rim, in a sense? How they have original Kaiju? Either way, really excited for it!

@TheLazyFish Totally original Kaiju, each with their own lore for the players to understand. It'll definitely be a challenge, but I'm always up for one.

@ChrisRemix You're very welcome for the support. :)

Open world is the best way to go, I think that the epicness of obliterating buildings with super moves is probably going to counteract any negative effects of going open world. But you could also add in a more claustrophobic map to force the players to have an intense battle. I love the idea of an original kaiju game with orchestral music and original lore. I can already see myself always choosing some particular character because his story, look, and moveset are all cool. And also, that monster you've already gotten the top of is great. Is the bottom done yet, and if not I think it would be really cool if it was like a hedgehog shark (just a thought). Another thing that would be cool is one character who is a mech rather than an animal-type (but with an ai not a pilot). I just think adding one (so the character stays unique) mech would be cool. Anyways that's what I thought off the top of my head. Random question, is this what you went to college for, to make an epic video game?

Holy crap that monster looks cool

@Ultra BIF Thanks a bunch for the suggestions!  I'm going to college to get a general understanding of game design and animation. I'm an avid fan of movies and games so I want to apply the cinematic imagination I have into a game that pairs well with my love for Kaiju. 

@TheLazyFish Thanks!

Np

Really excited for this! Don't pull a Mesozoica on us, please. OR ELSE...

No pressure, or anything.

@TheLazyFish Haha, I will be taking my time since I believe that nothing good comes from rushing. I will be shelling out updates here and there to keep your interest piqued :)

Good. As long as you don't pull a Mesozoica... Because if you do... I will find you... and I will rant about you on Scified... XD 

Just kidding man, take as long as you need for it. And thanks for deciding to send updates! Plenty of developers don't bother with the latter, and sometimes that results in... Fallout Trees. Also, don't forget, no one is forcing you to make the game, so if you need to take a break from it at any time, do so. 

This ought to be good.
