I don't think that would work. If the game's using real time, to have to play 34 hours to get to Dragon's Edge would be a huge turn-off for a lot of potential players. And to make the world that big would probably be too much data for the systems to load, which would result in crashing problems I mean, of course we could have all those locations in the game, but there would have to be fast travel, or some way to cut flight time down considerably. It might be more beneficial if the game wasn't entirely real-time. Like, time passed in game, but not in the real world. But then it would make it pretty hard for special events. |

That's definitely true. I think the world should be very big, but not that big. It would be better if you only had to fly for a couple of hours to get to a location. I agree with your suggestion about fast travel, but I think that the game should still be in real time, so that Berk would change for Snoggletog, Thawfest, etc. Maybe you could get exclusive items or dragons. |

@Dragonrider's Fury, I have some software on my laptop called Windows 3D Builder, and I think it can convert images into 3D models. I'll try it. |

What about the music? I was thinking that when your dragon is flying in the sky, there shouldn't really be a soundtrack. Just the beating of your dragon's wings, the sound of the waves, the calls of the gulls, and maybe the roar of a Thunderdrum, Scauldron or Seashocker (etc) as you sometimes encounter one in the sea. But if you were near a specific place (e.g. Berk or Valka's Sanctuary) then the theme for that location would play. (Assuming that there aren't any issues with copyright, of course.) @hictooth, do you think it would be possible to import the character models from School of Dragons, not just Wild Skies? |

I'm not Hictooth, but yes, I think it would be perfectly possible to use those models. Unfortunately, I don't have very many of them. The ones I have were (I think) ripped from a very old version of the game, which didn't have nearly as many dragon species as exist in the newer versions. About the music, I think there should be background music when flying, but that it should be very faint/soft. Edit: By the way, I think it's Iantje that you should be asking/talking to, not necessarily Hictooth. He's said himself that practically the only game he's ever played is Wild Skies. Iantje has actually developed games in the past. |

I think I have a couple of models on my laptop (Hiccup in HTTYD 2, Toothless and Stoick, maybe more, I will try to find them). Hopefully some other models can be taken from SoD, including dragon species. I'm not sure how you go about extracting models from a game, but if somebody could show me, then that might be something I could help with. I agree with you about the music. Maybe there could be very relaxing tracks in the background, such as 'Romantic Flight', the piano part of 'Where's Hiccup?', and 'Together We Map The World'. The music is my favourite part of the HTTYD 2 game. Sometimes it's really nice to fly around on Toothless and just listen. Ah, okay. I just directed my question to Hictooth because he mentioned models in an earlier post, but I will ask Lantje in the future.

I know how 3D models can be extracted; the problem is working with the result. Unless you can extract the models straight from the game's source, what you'll almost always get is the model after it has been posed, which makes working with it difficult. It can be done, it's just a lot of work. |

Ah, okay. Well, I will research how to do it and I'll give it a try if it isn't too difficult for me. I was going to find the models on my laptop, upload them on Google Drive, and post the links on here so that they could be downloaded, but I've just read that it's apparently illegal to share them on forums. So I'm not sure what to do. Although I think it would be okay, since we aren't going to sell the game. When it gets made, it would be free to download. Could we also extract buildings (such as the Great Hall) and islands from School of Dragons or Wild Skies? |
