I got some more test renders done, let me know what you all think.


They enlarge when you click on them. I know they are all very amateur right now, but I've only spent about an hour on each. It's been a while since I've modeled anything.

Man, it's been a while since I've done any 3d modeling. This took me about an hour to make and it's par at best. I was able to get some bump mapping and layed out the UVs myself though. Just a preview:

Simple Broom Render

If you can't tell what it is, it's a broom at 3 different angles. Ahhh, tutorial time =)

As of right now, only the simple design and work-team has been 'created'. I don't necessarily have any motive in whining about not having a Harry Potter RPG/MMO, so I figured 'why not make one'. That's where we are at right now. What I hope to have do is create a portfolio with things like sketches, design plans, renders, etc and compile it in time for the pottermore release. If they have a community section (like a forum or social networking system), we could spread the portfolio to almost everyone who is a die hard fan and get their opinions on it. If all goes well, it would be submitted to EA and hopefully accepted. I live about 45 minutes away from the Mythic (EA's studio for MMORPGS) and would not only love to travel back and forth working on the game, but could easily do so. So, with all that said; let me ask for some help: It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could support. The following items are what we need to work with at first: -Sketches,blueprints,GUI (any and all formats) -Producers (not official ones, but people willing to post the finished portfolio where they can) -Ideas (please keep them close to the original game design - single player in hogwarts as harry, all seven books + MMO self made character, normal 7 year term, the MMO is open for most ideas) -any other helpful tips or comments you may have I'm in the process of setting up my modeling station and should have a couple renders very very soon. If this kicks off, we can create a gamespot group for the project. Again, I really think having enough material ready for pottermore is going to help us. Whether it be to get the game approved, or just encourage developers. Most importantly, this all needs to be done right. Feel free to PM me with anything you might have to say.

That makes sense James. I guess we'll have to see where it goes. It would definately take some self/in-game design to create side quests and all. Even if EA were to approve it (big 'IF'), I don' t think they have creative licsense. Then again, the up and coming 'James Potter' book is said to be from a different author than JK herself. Either way, I wouldn't want it to stray to far away from the Harry Potter storyline.

That's an interesting point (post above). While I'd like to keep the single player completely story-line scripted, the MMO wouldn't necessarily expand on the series. Instead, it would exist within it. The player's character would be just like any other student at Hogwarts, and the adventures and stories the same; all within the realms of the books. I don't think creating a new or more harry potter would even be interesting, especially if it's from a different author. This is just an idea atm, but it's coming together. Feel free to submit any opinions or tips you may have.

I just feel a Harry Potter RPG would really fit well into where the series is at atm. With all of the movies and books being done (and the previous games being "sub-par" at best), a full feature single player campaign would only add to the already diverse medium base that Harry Potter is portryaed in; as well as make a lasting impression. The multiplayer could also open the story for people as induviduals experiencing Hogwarts for themselves as the book series has been un-officially ended. Maybe it would help the story live on. If you are interested in helping out with the portfolio, feel free to PM me. I'll take all of the help and ideas I can get. Make sure to head your PM as 'Harry Potter RPG'. I'll take help from anyone with programming, sketching, modeling, animating, design, skills etc. If we can get a good portfolio up by the time the pottermore website launches, were bound to expand our support base. I'm working on some 3d models now and should have a couple renders up by the end of the week. Stay tuned for more updates/

That's why I'm trying to get a portfolio up for this game. If I think we can at least get a portfolio up before the pottermore website debuts, we would have great publication oppertunites as millions of people will be logging in and if they see an adequate portfolio, it may even catch the attention of some developers. Particularly EA.

I'm sure it could work with a lot of tweaking and specifics. The game could be designed so that you end up creating your own wizard, and then go on to work in the ministry of magic, etc etc. I'm going to make a group for this if anyone is interested; let me know.

That's what I was thinking, something like oblivion. But I would want the game to have a mode where you stick to the storyline. That's why I figured the single player should be the way it is. The multiplayer would allow for greater exploration, but I want to stay away from the 'skill grinding' aspect many MMORPGs play as. Ideally, the single player should allow for total immersion into the Harry Potter world while the multiplayer would be more of an exploration/evironment type game where the player feels like they are actually a student at Hogwarts or fighting off trolls.
