Guest spacemonkey Posted April 22, 2003 Report Posted April 22, 2003 Thought some of you guys might be interested in what I'm doing, I've added it to my site. It's like a zelda/diablo rpg engine (or will be) The map looks really dumb, but that's cos it's totally random at the moment. [edit]Another important disclaimer ;) The sprites are all pretty rubbish at the moment cos (A) I'm no artist and (:) I just found them on the web to get something on screen [/edit] Go to http://www.surrealservices.co.uk/rpg.html and check it out.rpg3.gif
Guest madu Posted April 22, 2003 Report Posted April 22, 2003 OMG!! That looks (and sounds) very impressive! You don't stop surprising me spacemon! Best of luck for the project!!

Guest Brody Posted April 22, 2003 Report Posted April 22, 2003 Taking the rather scrambled map into account this looks promising!! Hope to see an alpha soon? Ps. Have checked out the link and yes the ghosting is cool!! ;)

Guest MoRFLeZ Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 Deemon -> What's the GBA SP like compared to the normal GBA?? Well in one sentence: Worth ALL the money! *pats her black SP* The light is awesome, the battery seems to last forever, and if you got a cramp from the old GBA, you will love this thing!! I can play for hours str8 without getting cramps (not that I have time with my new SPV toy *inno*). Get it mate, it's awesome...

Guest spacemonkey Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 As to graphics etc, at the moment I'm more focused on getting the engine running. Hopefully I'll have some sort of melee combat only thing for a taster next weekend. Once it's all done, then it's tidying up graphics/storyline for the free adventure and then deciding how I want to license it to make a bit of cash (to keep me in phones). My hope is that I can sell the engine (at low low prices) to allow you all to build your own rpg's in my engine, kinda like the model that Kyle's quest (for palm and pocket pc) uses, except mines gonna be loads better than Kyle's quest. The pricing model would be that players would buy a registered version to allow them to play other peoples adventures, rather than the adventure writer needing to buy some special expensive version and I'm thinking a pricing of probably £5-10 (all my initial sales would go to cover certification costs). PS. sorry mods, I bumped that nasty little report this post to moderators button ;)
Guest spacemonkey Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 Got this moved on a little further (for those interested)... I've put up another couple of screen shots... backgrounds loaded so they look sensible and a shot of my cheesy visual basic map editer. http://www.surrealservices.co.uk/rpg.html My next step is sorting out a generic skinnable mechanism for a status overlay (current target, hitpoints, mana etc) Then it's the hardyards of sorting out the monster data structures and getting some game type rules in it.
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 Looks amazing so far mate ;) Do you have any kind of story line planned out yet, or are you just trying to get the engine up and running first?
Guest spacemonkey Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 Engine first... I've got a few story ideas floating around in my head, but once the engines done there's still quite a bit to sort out like actual nice graphics sets etc...
Guest Deemon Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 looks like its coming along nicely... good job !
Guest axe Posted May 3, 2003 Report Posted May 3, 2003 wow this is very interresting !! i will definetely register this when its out and start making RPG's for all my collegues (whole companie has SPV's now so thats cool)
