Here are my thoughts, I think that text games are definitely awesome and

There really are two issues here Tom.
The first concerns types of games, the second concerns resources.
Currently, though the second to parts to final fantasy thirteen (which look
more like films than games these days), are being released, it's equally

Hi Michael,
Ah, that's my entire point of my original message though. If I
understand you correctly making the roll playing game in real time
instead of turn based makes it more complex to create and is far more
time consuming. Besides that it really goes against what gamebook

I like text based, and for some of my sighted RPG playing friends, maybe a
couple of static graphic implementations would also be good enough, and
ambient music/sounds should be easy enough as well, but, honestly, pricing
on that level isn't something would look into at this stage - think

Hi Dark,
As for your first point that is sadly all too true. Far too many of
the web based gamebook style rpg adventures are nothing more than pvp
stat grinders with little to kno story at all. I can't get interested

Hi Jacob,
Pricing is always going to be a sticky issue for any game and game
developer. For one thing if it takes me three to five years to
complete a game like that I need to be financially supported for
creating that game. If I license music it is up to the customers to
pay the money it takes to
Hi Dark,
That's exactly what i don't want. I really honestly hate the modern
console rpg games, with a passion because after you get passed all the
cool sounds and graphics all you are doing is walking around picking
up items, talking to npc characters, and a few battles here and there.
I can't
I agree Tom, but actually i think if the game had music, that would
change it significantly.
As I said in my artical, music can do a lot for the game, particularly if it
is well written and well suted to each game environment, eg, different
towns, races or characters having

I have two thoughts on the financial end.
Firstly, as you said yourself, games like Sryth began free, then went into
subscription.
If the game was created in such a way as to be expandable, with downloadable
content, then people could pay a constant subscription rather than one lump

Hi Dark,
Oh, yeah. The combat system is definitely something I've been thinking
about as well. As you pointed out in table top rpg you often get a lot
more freedom in attacking an enemy such as hacking off an arm, leg,
head, or running it through the chest with your mighty sword, or you
can try
Hi Tom.
I wouldn't dismiss console rpgs quite so seriously. Xenogears story captured
my imagination so much when I played through it with a friend I even tried
novelizing the thing! it has a distinct world, characters with back story,
and a plot which is actually interesting!

hey dark what someone can do if they make a text base rpg. is have
voice acting and like you said have sound effect for different kind of
things and have music. in the game there can have many areas to
explore. and have different towns and villages and castles and
dungeons and others lands
will thomas what i mean is have the story text base stuff but give the
player many options to do stuff like go to town or go to the forrest.
and when you are in the town you could have it give more options like
go to shop or talk to people and if you have choose to talk to people
it could

Oh, that could be. As I said my experience with Final Fantasy was
