Tahi - The Arocean War (9-9-09)

[Anthony817]

Well, as a person that knows some Spanish, and even more German. I know that learning other languages is hard at first. So it would be a great idea to have it localized for other languages for the folks that can't speak English. Hell, I have friends that only spoke German, and I was just learning, but we could understand each other hehe.

So ya, other languages are definitely needed for the world to enjoy it. lest ye forget, us English speakers have it EXTREMELY easy in the world. More people speak it as a second language than any other. We tend to forget that this is not the only language out there hehe.

You can count me in too if you need help, i can perfectly speak spanish and french.

hey, my native tongue isn't english either, that doesn't mean I can't understand or speak it

might as well suggest that they bring it out in full chinese only, coz the majority of folks on earth speaks chinese only

Haha! True that! Btw, whats your native language? Just curious.

dutch, I'm from belgium; to further explain my point; my own language is a perfect example. senile team (who recently released R4) also speak dutch (they're from holland). Imagine if they had made the game in their own language...who'd wanna buy it? therefor I say english is the way to go for games, that way you reach the biggest crowd

btw, I also speak near perfect french (its a bilangual country like canada), some german, understand some spanish & took japanese classes years ago. my gf on the other hand is a russian translator, so she also speaks dutch, french, english, russian (obviously), some polish & some german

Whoa that's awesome. I have a friend from Belgium, he is Flemish. I like how Dutch and English have many of the same or nearly spelled the same words. I am a language nerd lol. Like if you say "How far" in Dutch, its "Hoe ver" and "Forget, Forgotten" = "Vergeet vergeten".

Anyway, I'll stop with the off topic.

Did anyone check out the new website for this game?

This is from the games section of the website: Put yourself into the shoes of heroes and villians and fight as the native, noble Tahians or the outlandish, tyranical Aroceans in an everlasting war! Fight along side your friends online to explore and conquer the bizzare, alien world of Tahi and recover or exploit its precious resource; Oorian energy. The story of Tahi is over ten years in the making and may be the first Dreamcast game in over decade to be online. So brace yourselves for 'Strength and Honor' and a memorable journey that will never be forgotton!

So maybe they actually might implement an online portion of the game. Even if it was just highscores or something that would be great!

This is really the greatest moment in post Dreamcast history if this gets completed.

Hello folks,

Yes, it's been quite a long time since our last update but we do have some information...

First off, we must say that we understand that many of you are impatient to see some images and details of the game but we are a small group of people putting this together and so what we must do must take time and we have many images to share however we need to discuss some aspects with our illustrators regarding releases of their work on the web.

Second, we have now fully discussed a tentative release date for the Tahi game and the release date will be 08 - 2011. If there are any changes to that date, we will let everyone know in advance.

We've been compiling source code from different locations, tearing it apart, analyzing and recoding our own segments for the game. We've already begun writing a diagram outline of what structure we will need and what classes and dependencies are going to be required in order to program this game successfully.

Our largest challenge is actually not the online capability at this point, it's actually the 3D rendering and display of the game; that has been our biggest challenge as of now.

And as for our website, we are a little behind on it, our main concern at this point is making sure that our team is maintained properly and we all have our assigned roles. Once we have that in order, the official TAHI website under http://www.reticonentertainment.org will go up.

We have talked to our musical composer (Sean), and after ping-ponging some thoughts as to how the soundtrack to the game will sound like, we have come to a consensus. The game will focus more on electronic and instrumental music more than 'heavy metal' as our first website implied (though we will use that song). The music can be best reflected as 'Zelda: Ocarina of Time' With melodies that can be easily 'hummable' and recognizable. He will be composing his soundtrack using Logic Pro 9.

Also located below are some VERY recent character concept designs for the game from Jordan our Illustrator!


And now, here is something that YOU could help us out with! We are currently designing our in-game display UI and we have come across a few designs, but what we want to know is, what would YOU like in a user interface when playing a game, and how should it look?

P.S. We have also posted this same topic at our website http://www.reticonentertainment.org along with a FEW MORE images!
