Re: Full-Fledged Audio RPG: Seeking Help

Re: Full-Fledged Audio RPG: Seeking Help I have an overall storyline but Im not at all averse to people wanting to chip in on certain things. I have a build standard in mind, regarding tone and dialogue and all that, but Im not utterly set in stone on everything.So let me be clear. Python

Re: Full-Fledged Audio RPG: Seeking Help

Re: Full-Fledged Audio RPG: Seeking Help So in that case are you setting this up to be kind of like a mud? Turn based combats, fighting based on stats, maps... rpg... sounds a lot like that. or is your goal to set this up like paladin of the sky? URL: http://forum.audiogames.net

Re: Full-Fledged Audio RPG: Seeking Help

Re: Full-Fledged Audio RPG: Seeking Help No, not a mud. More like Paladin, in that its a game with a beginning, middle and end. But I want a better story (which wont be hard), slightly more interactive maps, a much stronger combat engine (again, shouldnt be hard), story choices in certain

Re: Full-Fledged Audio RPG: Seeking Help Hi,Im willing to give this a shot. As I said, I think it has good potential. I was also thinking windows at first, cross platform support requires a little more work and a lot more planning from the coding point of view. PM me or some

Re: Full-Fledged Audio RPG: Seeking Help I have no strict project deadline. Id like to see it done before, say, 2017 in general, but thats very rough. If its really good but takes awhile, then oh well.I was thinking Windows at least at first, which does make things easier. We can think

Re: Full-Fledged Audio RPG: Seeking Help You arent going to want to program that in c++. If youvev tried c++ at all you know that there is a lot to worry aobut especially when it comes to memory management. I would use something that has an automaticacagbage collector. Maybe c sharp
