Hi Philip, Ah, yes. What I'm basically considering is releasing a free accesssible clone of Star Wars Mysteries of the Sith which was released by Lucas Arts back in 1998. Of course getting around the legal copyright issues is going to be a nightmare and I'm probably going to post it to Sendspace, Dropbox, etc or somewhwere anonymous so Lucas Arts doesn't breath down my neck for trying to create a game that I enjoyed playing when I still had some sight, and can't play any more do to physical disability. At any rate I spent a few hours this weekend during my free time to write up a rough draft of my ideas and created a very simple level to begin testing things with.
For example, i drew a large room, kind of like a fighting arena, and then placed various enemies in the room like storm troopers, AT-STS, probe droids, torture droids, etc and then practiced using Mara's light saber on them. Plus I added a few weapons I intend to add to the game like detonators, trooper rifles, blaster pistols, etc and used the enemies for target practice. As this is all pre-alpha stuff ththe AI, such as it is, is pretty much a dumb bot that walks around the room until I come into range and then it gos into attack mode and gets slottered. The finished game will have a more intelligent AI for each of the enemies, but the code I added was just temperary to get them to do something besides stand around and look stupid as I shoot them or slice them up. As I told Ben earlier the purpose here is just to get the basics working like force abilities, weapons, inventory menu in place, asign keyboard commands to certain functions, etc. All very basic stuff. Once the core of the game is done I can add actual levels to play around with. Fortunately, with an existing game engine creating this game won't take that long because I have already a basic draft of the Alpha working without more than two days of work.
