MorphOS: Possible New Game Project - a Trojan Horse for the Mac?
Genesi came up with an idea of developing a new game. This is considered in a possible cooperation with producer Elie Chouraqui. It might then be possible to use this game as a "Trojan Horse" for the Macintosh version of MorphOS.
Whoever is interested in cooperating in this should send an email to: Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco.
Following are both original statements from Raquel Velasco and Bill Buck on MorphZone:
1)
"Gladiateur"
If you have been in Paris the last few days you would have probably seen THIS! It is being produced and directed by Elie Chouraqui. His last film of international renown was Harrison's Flowers (2000).
Last night we had dinner with Elie (thanks to some very good friends of ours). We discussed his latest projects, including "Gladiateur", which is based on the Roman slave uprising lead by Spartacus.
When Raquel and I heard the story line we started to think we might had found our Morph-Apple "Trojan Horse" game.
We told Elie about MorphOS and the Pegasos, contrasting MorphOS and Genesi with Windows and Microsoft...could the Pegasos be the computer gladiator of the 21st Century?! Could the Pegasos inspire another Revolution?! We said OK, let's figure out whether or not we can do it...
Release date: 1 October 2004
MorphOS/Pegasos and Morph-Apple releases
We will invest for this Project! Here are some basic ideas:
1. Themes: Freedom, personal empowerment, responsibility, leadership, teamwork, good vs. evil, changing the world...
2. When a Gladiator (single player) overcomes the challenges of the arena (the CD itself), they qualify to step into the online world and join forces with others who have overcome the arena to fight on for the Revolution (online via the rebellion portal).
Online players hold roles and work together to overcome specific task oriented challenges. Imagine this... You play the CD or through the settings assume an old score...you connect. Online you meet those that are there... you "chat" and plan to overcome the various tasks and requirements.
For example:
Task: Mount Vesuvius
Requirements: Ten Gladiators
Objective: Overcome a Roman Centuria (100 men lead by a Centurion)
The team has to cooperate to be successful and have a strategy for success. Think of Knights and Merchants...
The game and story scale from there. The historical setting is accurate. The greatest success occurs when the most online players cooperate. Game sequences can be re-lived to analyze and improve group game performance. The game takes a quality of its own based on the teamwork and unique skills and resources of the players...
Post feedback here please!
Pegasos!
Raquel and Bill
2)
Just spoke with Thomas Steiding (thomas@epic-interactive.com), who would be the Project Manager for the effort if we can pull the right people and agreements together. As some know e.p.i.c. is soon to release Northland that could be tuned for the theme we are discussing. We would have to go from vikings to gladiators, but it is not too much of a stretch if the right engine is there and we can get Andre to do some new artwork...
If you are interested send us or Thomas an email.
This could be fun!
Raquel and Bill

AmiWest 2003: Pegasos flies westwards
Yes! Pegasos is flying west, and for the first time at a
major
American Amiga show, the Pegasos will be available for users to get a first
hand look at what MorphOS on the Pegasos is all about. With at least
five Pegasos computers at the Genesi booth, everyone can be assured a
turn at taking a Pegasos out for a test flight.
At the 2003 version of AmiWest, YOU can get YOUR hands on the Pegasos,
a tangable successor to our community's platform of choice. See
first
hand the MUI3.9 PPC integration into your OS experience, feel the power
of a PPC processor pushing both classic and new applications, and
experience the transformation in our community. You've seen the forums, read
the contriversies, and watched the flak fly. At AmiWest, however, there
will be no smokescreen thick enough to come between your curiosity and
the Pegasos running MorphOS. See the PEGASOS first hand at AmiWest.
Just in: MorphOS 1.4 with the Trance JIT for MorphOS will be released
in time for AmiWest!
