Hello Blender-artist community, my name is Samuel Moxham and I am the director of the Rookie Project.
I believe the project has made overwhelming progress, with nine members joining the project over the last few weeks.
It’s because of this progress I am happy to announce the first Alpha version of this game will be released on the 12/05/2013 (that’s day/month/year, I’m from New Zealand you see). This Alpha will feature three areas of the map, Incanto College exterior, interior and basement. These will be free to roam.
The aim of this Alpha is to try and create an identity in which our game will look, such as the style of modeling.
Alpha 2 will be released on the 01/06/2013, and this will also include new map areas such as North-Western end village and South-Eastern end village. Along with the maps, we will also add the main character and basic controls (yes this does mean people may begin zapping things with wands).
Edit: Just to clarify more about the game. It will be a RPG game set in Incanto, a valley which has been heavily affected by the war. Inside the valley is the Incanto village and Incanto college where village itself is neutral to the war, but the colleges activity has slowly driven the village into poverty.
The main character steps into a new land and is split between trusting the college he is studying at or helping the needs of the villagers.
The game will be made in the ‘Blender Game Engine’.
We are still looking for more keen artists to apply covering all fields of game development.
