I had an idea of cel-shaded multiplayer 3rd person shooter, when I was exploring new Direct X sdk. The general idea of the game would be to conquer different posts(like in Battle Field). The game would be cel-shaded like in so called "kiddie-graph" (Zelda Wind Waker), and the camera would be in 3rd person. I''m no Counter-Strike fan but it would be fun shooter with not so "tense" atmosphere as BF, CS or so on. Large maps, vehicles and with the cel-shade it would bring a new perspective in shooter type games. But yet, I''m not so good at coding(modelling would be more "my" area), but I can manage to code a bit. So I''m asking you whether you would be interested or could give me some advices or info about coding this kind of game(I know these could be a BIG and LOOOONG project, but I have tons of planned ). --- sandelz

Check out XIII. Although it''s first person, is this the kind of look you''re thinking about?

there''s killer 7 of shinji mikami

but the cool intro, if i remember well, of interstate 76
or maybe not the kiddy but youth design of jet set radio??

but why cell shading is important in a new perspective of shooter??

maybe by introducing new setting by run away from graphic stereotype???

sandelz: Do it. First get your theme down. Just one sentence. Stick to it. Stick to it because it''s important. Stick to it throughout the entire development process. Is this a game of teamwork, with a trek through a wilderness? Is this a game of timing, with a Samurai sneaking around a nuclear reactor?

Just do it. JUST DO IT.

I just used "kiddy" like expression, because many describes it that way. And "not tense" I mean like the game isn't so serious as CS,BF or so on, just fun. To be more specific, like Delta Force, only in 3rd person and cel-shade.

And yes like XIII-game, only in 3rd person :D

And to reply for Some Guy, basicly teams fighting each other, well you can hide and sneak if you wish to do so

[Sorry about my english]
