xshadowxfusionx and I are making a game for the RPG 4 Digits contest, code-named 16,777,216. Why? Because that's the total area of the world map, measured in levels.
Our idea of a level is about 16*16 squares, with the player being 1 square.So the game's map is 4,294,967,296 times the size of the player. Kinda hard to grasp, huh?The world map will be divided into 28 smaller worlds, each 85^3 levels large.The exception will be the bonus world, which fills the margin of the other worlds.The gameplay is like classic Zelda, the kind that was on the NES and SNES.Even though the normal game will be 2D top-down, the world map will be represented in 3D.Still working out most of the details, so many things are likely to change.We're looking forward to starting on this May 1st!Make sure to look for open beta's for the game!(Note: This game will be made by Engine 001, at http://www.engine001.com/)
Hey, you're kinda ambitious…
*looks at your profile*… for a two-year old? What the.Well, how will the levels be designed/generated, if you don't mind my asking? Or is that not finalized yet?The core is mostly finalized but the details are still in the air.
What it does is it actually turns the co-ordinates of the location of the level your in, and generates monsters, barriers, exits, etc.So we don't have to make all 16m by hand, and if you revisit a level it'll be the same as the first time you played it.How can a talking jellyfish not be famous?
FJ is apparently the only person on this planet who checks peoples' profiles. He's probably also the only one who uses them as a base to comment on. Right on, man, right on.
The idea sounds interesting, but I've never heard of Engine001.Ive vever seen a non famous talking jelly fish……come to think of it ive never seen a jellyfish
@Kilin
Engine 001 is an amazing engine.At first it doesn't seem so powerful, but once you get into it you can see all the possibilities.Also the only engine I can find where the graphical scripting is just as powerful as the textual.It makes epic games you should check some of towers previous game to see
Care to link us?
I linked off to engine 001's homepage in the article, but here it is again.
