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/)
Sorry My bad
Don't feel bad tower, most blogs on this site either get few to no comments, or they get lots of comments, but the comments have been completely derailed from the topic of the blog.
To be honest the blog is kind of lacking much content.
True, it does seem kinda like "We're making a game with a really fucking big world. DISCUSS."
No offense, Tower.I'll post more when we actually start making it.
Right now I just wanted comments on whether it sounded like it would be something interesting or not.Well what is there does sound interesting, it's just that there isn't much there and I think most people want more than a vague description of the general gameplay before they form an opinion. Or I do, anyway. That's why I generally don't comment until the conversation gets completely derailed.
I only came up with the concrete idea a few days ago, so I really don't have much else to show lol.
I just kinda wanted to get the feel of how this here blog works.Yeh, I believe the "blog rules" are much more relaxed for new members, so they get used to how it works. Really we're looking for a bit more detail, or some media. Unless you don't mind your blog not being on the front page and feed, but then nobody will see it. Just hold off on blogging until you have more to talk about.
The only blog rule is an unwritten rule: "Be interesting." The official rules are (largely) flexible so long as you're contributing to the site in some way.
