New User Introduction Dj Anjel Remix
Greetings and Welcome to the Top Secret Project!
As you can see the majority of the work we'll be doing will take place
on the forums. As such it can look rather intimidating at first glance,
but really it's just takes getting used to. That said we'll now break
things down a bit so you can familiarize yourself in a relatively short
amount of time.
Firstly, as you will have heard, this project is brought you by
Acclaim, and is directed by none other then David Perry, the genius
behind many #1 games and a leading industry professional.
Secondly, as you will have discovered the overall genre of the game
we are working to create is racing in an online MMO format. But
contrary to popular belief, as we move from task to task, we're taking
the racing genre as a base and moving into new territory to make
something new and exciting!
Now then, starting out, feel free to introduce yourself in our
Introduction Area!
This is the place were you can tell us a little bit about yourself. Where yo
u're from, what skills your bring with you, and your
expectations.Also allows the community to meet and greet you and
welcome you to our great community of creative and talented people.
As you have seen, the forums are broken down into various sections,
each related to game design and development as well as various
discussion areas for related topics from Industry Discussion, to off
topic areas for members to just shoot the breeze and talk about
anything under the sun.
Milestone 1
Now the main hub of activity related to the content and concept
creation and submission takes place in the Milestones section. Each
Milestone is broken down into various tasks and discussion areas, which
we, as a community complete to add content and elements to the game. At
present we are working on the general concepts and elements, as time
goes on we will be refining these elements to become core components of
the final game.Currently we are on the above linked Milestone 1.
Each task included in the Milestones has instructions and
submission requirement information posted at their beginning to help
you understand the needs and aims of the respective tasks.
Following along with the areas already listed, we have already
accomplished quite a bit, and to get your bearings on what has been
completed we have the constantly updated
Design Document
Which lays out the steps we have taken and the elements that have
been decided on as well as components we are refining for the final
product? Feel Free to read over it as well as the rest of the Wiki for
more information.
The Research and Discussion Area
Is the section of the forums dedicated to looking at all manner of
ideas in their corresponding sub forums and discuss them, exchange
information and analyze them both for either further development in the
game, or other ideas for later avenues of creation or simply to learn
more. One of the key goals of this project beyond creating one awesome
game and community is also the exchange of knowledge and a learning
experience for those interested in game design and its various
elements.
Community News Site
You will have taken note of the Latest Site News header on the top
of the forum, this area is used to inform members of what tasks are
opening as well as the dates for when their various phases are
completed. A further resource for current community news, is our above
linked Community News site. Where news both in regards to project
progress, task introductions, as well as related community news is kept
current and updated.
Now then, I'm sure this is quite overwhelming at first, so we have
begun a new resource to help filling the blanks and answer any
questions you might be having.
