Right now I'm working on an RPG type game called Onyx's Curse. You play as Ehlana, an Elven warrior trying to rid the realm of a dragon who's been demanding tribute from the people for over twenty years. I've got part of the first town created and I've at least got the groundwork laid for a few other towns, but right now I'm just working on ironing out all the tasks and things. I find that when you're traveling withi a town, it makes more sense to make that part task driven. Si instead of typing North to go to a particular shop, I'd create a task that says enter insert shop name here. So for example when you start the game in the village of Anoth you'd type Enter Traveler's Rest and you'd enter the inn. Then you could either talk to people in the common room, go down to the cellar (assuming you get the key), or head upstairs for a long-awaited nap to restore all your stamina. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rachel D Keyte" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 5:13 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Adrift Text Adventure Creator...
