Video game dev notes

As this wiki is really just a bunch of notes and crappy maps, it's not my final vision for this project, I would ultimately like to have a video game, or tv series. This page will be some notes about my vision for developing this world as a video game.

notes

• open world
• FPV
• MMORPG
  • Microphone enabled
  • Possibly option to use video of user's face on character's face???
• AI NPCs
• NPCs have jobs for themselves and jobs available for things they need
• open in-game stores to sell real-world items or in-game items
• Players can hire NPCs or other players to do in-game jobs/quests
• Interactive Environments
  • ability to build
    • Mill wood
    • Carve Stone
    • Shape earth
  • permanently destructive environments
• Story Consequence System - player actions affect how the world treats the player's character and properties (criminal system, Wanted posters, fame)
• able to grow as a character by more than just killing creatures
  • killing certain creatures could cause conservation groups to request player's arrest
• Character deaths
  • if character not resurrected/reincarnated/healed, that is the end of the character
  • this encourages team play or putting characters at less risk
  • Full PvP, but with consequences to killing without resurrecting
    • some areas become "kill or be killed"

inspiration

Prompt note ideas for AI

Unreal Engine has an AI assistant that might be able to help actually build this world....

• start with a sphere
  • Dyson's Sphere
• Add additional material to the exterior of the Dyson's Sphere to create the surface of the world and fill with geological crust material

• Import heightmap as sphere
  • Gravity
  • Create areas of different rock types
  • Erosion
• Moons, suns, the black hole
• Rings and Aurora
• Climate, Temperature, and rainfall maps
  • World spins in reverse from Earth
  • Create weather patterns and ocean currents
• Maybe rivers and lakes map
• Sky-islands

• Hollow world
  • Dyson's Sphere
    • Ancient history - planet sized ship built around a small star with a habitable interior surface as well as within the shell structure
    • Over time, space debris has built up on the outside of the ship and it has become habitable
  • Technological structure halfway between the crust of the outer world and the crust of the inner world
    • Two spheres that rotate independently of each other but have paths between that must align to be unlocked
  • Tunnels in the crusts the lead between
  • High tech control rooms for gravity simulation

• Pod landing locations and traveling gates
• Location names and areas

• Destructive, volumetric ground like in Minecraft
• Magic spells that allow shaping the terrain like a 3D sculpting brush
