    1) Every kid programmer ever wished to create a game like that.
    I have to disappoint you. You're not going to make it any soon.
    2) Lua and OpenGL huh? good luck...

    Oh my god use punctuation,grammar and proper spelling please. i hate it when people post large posts without punctuation and proper spelling.

    Proper translation:


    Me and my friend are thinking about making a new video game.The setting will be post war. It will be a sandbox game that has a similar mining system as the first "redfaction"//i don't understand this word. destructible buildings.If possible the map will be washington state but the distance will be realistic.It will take 4 earth days to walk from lacey to mt rainer.To make it even more realistic, no teleporting but we are still discussing that.The player will gather supplies to live and also will have to sleep eat and drink. You can build anything from cars to helicopters to house to fallout shelters and more.The game will also allow you to parkour through the seattle ruins and much more. We need any volunteers that are willing to help in programming. Also if you have any suggestions or advice please tell me.Hoping on using lua.


    And in my opinion this seems like a really complicated game. I recommend you do something simpler like a flash game unless you are a super expert in programming.

    So what I'm seeing is a game where you play as a survivor of a war who is traveling towards Mt. Ranier from Lacey from their safety. You have to keep yourself alive through sleep, food, and drink and can use a variety of forms of transportation across an interactive environment.

     

    With the amount of complexity you have here, it sure is gonna take a long time. Although I'm not an expert in programming, I am willing to help. I reccomend that you just get the basic gameplay going (e.g. simple traveling, basic transportation,etc.) before you add the details (e.g. realistic day/night cycle, hunger, fatigue, graphics,etc.) to make the job easier.
