Re: [Aleona-devel] Proposal for continuing Aleona's Tales

[Wolfgang Köhler]

I think quite different there. Instead of making an own miniproject 
instead of Aleona's Tales, we should try to make the first milestone of 
Aleona's Tales. This would mean that we try to create Chapter I one of 
the campaign in aleona's Tales. We could recycle many graphics from FcMP 
for this, so the graphics won't be such a big problem. The problem will 
rather be the support of the engine for some of the new features (e.g. 
you can only build on area owned by you through towers).

I have an old version of the CCL of Aleona's Tales, but I guess it won't 
work anymore, because there were updates on CCL since then. But we could 
update them and then they would again be working except the fact that 
there is no support for certain features and that the spells and 
resources are hardcoded.

Nevertheless this milestone itsself shouldn't be the greatest work, the 
greater work must be done in the engine, and this has to be done anyway.

Instead of Intro and Extro we could eventually make a small picture show 
with text as you, grumbel, earlier proposed it. You also made something 
similar in pingus (I downloaded the game some time ago, and I like it 
very much).

Let's look how far we are with our milestone:
The storyline and game design is ready so far for milestone 1.
Some graphics can be used from the old FcMP, some have to be created newly.
Same with sounds & music.
The engine needs to have more support for more game features and ccls 
have to be updated and corrected.
Then we must make the scenarios (my part I guess) and write some texts 
for it.

So far to this topic, additional suggestions:
Couldn't we make a subdomain aleona.stratagus.org referring to 
nongnu.org/aleona? Would be easier to memorize.
We could do the same with robovasion and wargus.
I think I also wanted to propose something else, but I've forgotten it. :-)
