Hi everyone,

I've been a lurker for a while - I decided to be brave enough to post now. :)

I've been working for about a year on a new open source game.

The game I'm writing is inspired by the old goldbox styled games. My goal is to create a game with the same Look and Feel of the goldbox games while bringing to it newer graphics, sounds, music and network play.

So where am I now?

• Basic game layout implemented
• 3D perspective view and movement
• Overhead view for maps
• Overhead view for combat with characters and monsters and movement
• Scriptable events engine
• 45 degree movement

Game maps use a simple text file definition which allows for various wall, ceiling, floor, sky, shape textures and even 3d models to be displayed.

I'm looking for some feedback. What do you guys think?

Over the holidays I'm going to spend the time working on documentation. I'll get the map and script file specifications up on my web site soon.

I'll post something when my web site has the new info.

Thanks for your interest and patience.

I am 99% sure that this post is not honest - I don't see how someone can lurk here for a year and then post about a CRPG. "Long time lurker, first time poster" is a common ficton. Everyone, please do not reply.

On the remote chance that this is not spam, then to the author: the Forge is not the right site for your topic, so you should find another site to promote your work.

Best, Ro
