mike_g	Created : 12 April 2007 Edited : 15 June 2008 RPG Game
Version 0.01 Heres a very early working version. You can do some stuff like equip items, eat food, use keys to unlock doors, and set off pressure plates. Key controls for actions are: L : look O : open E : eat U : use D : drop Right clicking somewhere looks at an object. Use 'Open' to bring up the inventory of an object such as a table or chest. The rest of the actions arent coded yet. Dont expect much because is only partly functional. Download at: https://grundez.googlepages.com/Games.html Suggestions or feedback would be appreciated. Cheers

Blitz3Dman	I saw the style of your tiles so I was making a really nice and polished tileset for you so you can use it if you like

mike_g	Cheers dude. Those tiles are from Ultima 4. I'm going to make my own set of tiles for the game, its just something I havent got around to yet. Still if you want to contribute something then youre welcome

Blitz3Dman	If you'd rather not use them that's fine I like drawing stuff anyway I figured from the screenshot you were going for a kind of dark, gloomy feel. Unless those tiles aren't supposed to fit... So far I have tiles for -grass -water -sand (for beaches and deserts) -trees -walls (good for castles and just plain regular normal walls) -paths right now I'm organizing the tilesheet and tell me if I'm missing anything.

mike_g	Thats cool Most (or all) of the game is going to be set indoors. So its pretty much all going to be interior stuff.
Thursday, 12 April 2007, 18:46
Blitz3Dman	Oh... oops. I saw the screenie and thought it was outdoors. I'll have to get to work on some indoor stuff now. Outdoor tiles: includes -grass -water -sand -trees -walls -stairs -shadows -paths and what should the indoors theme be? can you cook me up a very quick picture of the average building so I can get to work on the tileset? and the guy in the hud for the equipped items stuff has a weird shaped head. That is a placeholder hopefully

mike_g	Made quite a bit of progress today. I now have 2 out of the 3 game modes there will be set up. The first is narrative sections for places where theres going to be lots of text. Each will have an image to go with the text. The pointer will be hidden and you basically have to hit keys until the text finishes before the game goes back to normal. Heres a screenie of it. The second mode is exploration. I got a little dude that can wander around levels now. Still have to fix it so you cant walk through walls and stuff. Made some radial movement buttons for it which makes the HUD now look kind of complete. Screenie here. The third mode will be in combat, where it becomes turn based. But it will probably be quite a long time before I get around to starting it.

power mousey	what can I say??! awesome!! if you also need help with a story and or characters...let me know. If you seek out mouseys' mighty magical and mystical myths and legends...then pass the cheese please. True.

mike_g	I havent really got any kind of story planned yet so at the moment I would still be considering more or less anything. If you got any cool story ideas then let us know. Can't say for definite that I will go with it, but you do come up with some original stuff. So yeah if like, then that would be good

power mousey	I will...eeeyepp!! perhaps you, magicman and steve can get together for that Survivalist Simulation Adventure game. The one that deals with Fallout and end of the word and apocalyptic apprehensions. True!! Some of the dark or bright characters such as: Granny Grace Mike the Mechanic Gertrude the Girl Scout Chip the Conspirist Stan the Loan Shark Ace Alfonsio hey and hmmmmm....... maybe a port using your Ultima-like engine too. I like it! cheers power mousey

Prospero	Looking cool! Dungeon RPGs are always good fun. I wish you luck for the development.
Saturday, 14 April 2007, 09:41
mike_g	Cheers prospero. I think I am going to need that luck powermousey: Dude somehow I dont think those characters would fit But yeah I'm only going to have a few NPCs in the game. That way I can give the conversations a ressonably amount of depth. Still other characters are not going play a bit part in it. I am going to focus mainly on making the objects in the environment interactive.

power mousey	no,no not for your fantasy Ultima fantasy game. I was talking about a futuristic Survival Adventure simulation. Not for your Ultima like game. lets see.... for your fantasy game... and just for some characters. just suggestions...of course: Penny the Pixie( pixelated of course ) Oscar the Overwhelmed Ogre. Minotus the Minotaur Verna the Valkyrie Zoombala...the Zombie Sir Humphrey the Humble(an Honorable and Humble Knight) Modias the Mystical Master Cutlass....a lass and upstart catpurse who cuts with her cutlass. True! cheers, power mousey

mike_g	Today I have been working on some tiles for my game. I now have 4 level types. 2 Castle style, a crypt, and a Japanese one. You can see a sample level here. I havent got around to making any placeables yet but will work on that tomorrow or something. @Blitz3dman: If you still want to make a tileset for the game then heres the tiles I have so far. If you can make something that fits together in the same kind of way, and keeps with the style then I'll use it in the game. Cheers

Blitz3Dman	Huff...huff...puff...ahoof... Man those tiles are hard to make! I'm making a cave/underground tileset. It's kind of bright though, so I'll darken it if it's too light.

Blitz3Dman	there we go.

mike_g	Hey, thats not bad
Sunday, 15 April 2007, 14:01
Blitz3Dman	the only thing is, the opened door/staircase tile looks much better with the two corver tiles.

mike_g	Todays progress: Coded basic wall collisions for in-game Coded "look" action triggered by action button, pressing L, or right clicking. Created some descriptive text for environment. Started on base items list. Made inventory with equipable slots. Items can be shuffled around inventory. Coded text logs of all actions.
