I am not so mad anymore.  I am so sorry for my profanity. I mean I am the enthusiastic one! My job is not only a writer and and sometimes , researcher but I am a uplifter, a BEACON OF LIGHT!! I was not doing my job.
I NEED TO POINT OUT ALL THE SILVER LININGS!!
I mean so we didn't finish the game.So what? It was not all for not(I am learning fancy old speak to prepare to flesh out the story in the new game).
I mean in this production, did we learn nothing? Did this not give us more understanding of game making and what gamers want? Did this not give us understanding of story telling?
Think of Hogwarts Online as a test. A practice to prepare us for a bigger and beter project!! Did it not acomplish that? Also during this did we not become friends?
So brighten up!!
Don't be mad. Be grateful for what good we have.

@thequaterbloodprince
They never listed a price, but they knew it would be out of my league.
@baskyn
Yes, I plan on using advanced modeling teqniques. Because I'd like to take gaming to the next level.  So you can also take your modeling to the next level as well (cause I'm going to lol). And you should try fallout 3, it will give you a basic idea of what The Generation's gameplay will be like.
@patzo
Yes I've been discussing The Generation I: Origination with AntheamA so we've got some good ideas. Currently writing the game out so yeah. This game will be even better than Hogwarts Online so yes, try looking at the bright side.
I hope Hogwarts Online symbolized something to people and that inspired people to go out and make games. Didn't turn out the way I wanted but it could be worse so I've been getting over it and I hope you all can too. After all there will be a new game I'm making so hope you all are interested.

SWEESOME!! I can't wait to start on those cut scenes, interactive and cinematic. It feels so nice to write for something original and not held back by copyright.!! Well baskyn and FF are interested in modeling!  Also I am here to write scripts for the story.
Towcar and Hollowminds will help out at some point in someway likely.

Oh. Well. er... I have nothing to say. I love HP and so I'm excited for this upcoming mmorpg but deeply sadened. Sadly this game had a lot of work involved. I won't sign the petition as I know it won't work. I'm writing a letter to WB about their MMO. I have a few ideas I want them to look over. Blood do you have a letter adress? |

@patzo
I'm glad you're interested however I might have to do this alone.. This is a serious game meaning it's like a professional game. Which requires professional work. And a possibility it may go commercial wise. As a matter of fact that's what I've been aiming for. So in order to work with me on it you'll have to be skilled in certain areas with pro level. I'm not putting you or anyone else down but this is a high level game.. I'm trying to go beyond my skills and improve them to make a pro game. I'd also probably have to pay you if you were high skilled because the game would go commercial. So I'll be working on this alone patzo sorry. I cannot reform my Hogwarts Online team and work on this game.
@calum
Sorry, I never got an adress for it...They only gave me a zip code.

Although HWO had a horribly organised team system i really need to say and by no means am trying to offend you by saying this but....
what your proposing to do is next to impossible.

@Hollowminds
Yes it actually is. I'm probably going to have to learn all of that in like a year. The only way I can do this is probably by myself. However I might have to hire people (which I was intending on having voice actors as well). The team system was badly organized in what way though?
@patzo
You're taking this a different way than what my post was saying. I'm not saying "leave young, useless people behind" or anything like that. But what I am saying is that you'll have to be a certain skill level in order to work with me. You're not at that skill level yet, but if you do get there, you'd have a chance. I cant take in random people and allow them on the team or have the old Hgwo team because we didn't achieve a whole lot of progress in terms of what we needed. I'm taking my skills to the next level so just dont get all caught up in your emotions.

Hmm... well I'm never doing this again. Sheer disappointment is common to me so I try to avoid it. Eh... Patzo thats not what he was saying. He was basically saying he's going his seperate way. This is going to be hard to leave since I've been here so long. I liked you all so much though you provbably didn't like me (judging on karma).
Bloodbat good luck with your game and hope you get the best career in gaming.
Hollomind you seem talented with computers so I hope you the best for the future.
Nmjam (I forget how to spell it) your very ambitious and so I hope you have the best job you can get! You also seem very good with Blender so keep that in mind too.
Patzo your so enthusiastic and a joy to work with. I love the word sweesome and I hope this situation hasn't brought you down.
FFesgamer you seem to know a lot about textures and so you will hopefully get a job in gaming.
Baskyn you seem a great modeller and also will hopefully earn a career in gaming.
Towcar your are just amazing and I respect you. You never gave up! Thats why you deserve the best future there is!
Dillon you were extremley funny and I wonder where you are now as you don't come on anymore.
To everyone else I'm sorry if I never mentioned you and I'm sad I never got a chance to meet you all.
Finally to HWO. We never got a chance to finish you or play you. It was great fun making you!
I hope this makes you all feel better. |

It takes more then a year to get to professional standards in all the things youl need, i dont know what you classify as "professional/commercial" but ill tell you to what i label that its not something your going to get from a blitz, python or basic language coder.
I allways set the benchmark with crysis, 22million dollars went into that game.
Unless your games going to be low budget of a few thousand dollars please refrain from saying your going to bust into the game development industry at such a young age. Your setting yourself up for anticlimax.
Other then that good luck, i havent seen any of your skills besides shown in realmcrafter projects so i cant really say ive seen enough to say how easy this project will be for you.
