Hi Ken. Magic the gathering is a ccg, not an rpg. That is, it's a collectable card game, albeit one with a fantasy theme (other ccgs exist for everyting from pokemon, to wwwe wrestling, to harry potter). Ccgs work as effectively two or more player battle games. players collect cards

Re: [Audyssey] why i build the games the way I do

Hi Jeremy. I agree the wastes took randomness a bit far, and some sort of scaled approach might work, but there are examples of games that got it right, Angband, despite being a roguelike is one of them. I do think Fallthru was a good example, because while the challenges were the same the

Re: [Audyssey] why i build the games the way I do

As to rpg's and replayability, I want to take issue with at least two of your examples Dark. Fallthru was replayable, but the essential shape of the game stayed the same. Once you beat it, the general plan to beat it was the same. Some locations moved a little, but the general challenges were

Hi Michael. I actually see a text, or at least text and audio rpg as a much more possible thing and probably good for a developer because of the possible expantions and such available, I also think it would be very good for development of audiogames in general because as I said, I do get a

Re: [Audyssey] why i build the games the way I do

Hi Dark. Excellent points there. You and I agree in most respects. One can indeed create great games without needing to incurr vast expense. I think there's a very real game between what's possible with one or two individuals to create and make accessible versus the expectations. As blind

Re: [Audyssey] why i build the games the way I do

Hi Michael. I disagree on costs there. You can use mostly text for the interface with some sound effects, and use the mechanics of the game to create replay. Look at the way dos rpgs did it, games like fallthru, and more recently a dark room, not to mention the wastes, heck the wastes random
