As Khris showed, even simple attack/defense/damage can be quite complex: You do NOT want to have each attack deal the same amount of damage each time, and you do not want each attack to hit (or miss). You have to take into account every attribute and variable you're about to use. And you have to test and balance that.

But those are exactly the decisions I made in OSD: Archipelago Adventures! Every weapon does 1 point of damage! Are you saying that my OSD opus isn't a real RPG?!    ( )

Ah! I see what you did there, Cat! 

My own Engine...I never really thought of making such a thing but if I learn how to then I will!

Keep hope alive, Icey!  8)

YOU could be running a multi-million dollar operation as a game developer RIGHT NOW!)

Order in the next ten minutes and get a free toaster! 

I pity the fool that uses extra Ts in words.

...a typo you mind, but saying "no" instead of "know" in the very first post you don't mind?

I'm not really a grammar Nazi. But I can't let a Mr. T. post go uncommented* upon. Everyone knows Mr. T doesn't have time for bad grammar, and when he's around, I can't let him down.

*(See? I'm not sure uncommented is even a word! )

next: Suddenly Cthulhu!

I pity the fool that uses extra Ts in words.

And I ain't gettin' on no plane, Hannibal. 

By the way, everyone, Calin Leafshade told me in a dream last night that he was Icey.

What? He told me in a psychic vision that he was actually Ben304 and that the Ben304 we all know is actually an alien clone of the robot that replaced Calin when he had to return to his home planet to defend his people from the mushroom invaders from the fungus dimension.

Someone is lying to one of us, Snake. And if a cow can't trust his own psychic visions while taking a long, hot, LSD enhanced bubble bath, then nothing in the world makes sense to me anymore.

Also, Icey: You may be aiming a little high for AGS give your abilities at this point. This engine was made for adventure games. And while some of us have managed to squeeze out some surprising horsepower from CJ's masterpiece, it's not something you can do unless you learn to program first. If you're really determined to make an RPG, then given your programming skills at this moment, you might want to consider one of the other engines listed above. They can do what you want with a minimum of fuss as they're made just for making RPGs.

However, if you'd just make a more traditional adventure game (maybe one set in a world that feels like an RPG), you'd find AGS a lot easier to work with. You might even release a proper, finished game.

EDIT: Damn, you posted while I was still composing this rambling response. Ignore everything I just said (you were bound to anyway).  8)

Yeah. Good theme. I may give this one a shot, if I can find the time.

Been too busy.

Too busy for teh pirating? And teh fightings? You is must talkings teh madnesses!

Ponch and icey, I love you both! 

Perfectly understandable. I am quite lovable. By the way, did you ever make any progress in Archipelago Adventures?

Leather Goddesses of Phobos.  8)

If you mean games with more than just text on the screen, the Bride of the Robot on my old Amiga. Or possibly Scary Mutant Space Aliens From Mars. I honestly can't remember which one of those I played first.

:o

Don't panic, Snake. Astonishing self confidence is all part of Icey's charm. 

Cool. Thanks for posting the link.

This has suddenly made me nostalgic for the old AGS ezine. *sniffle* so many memories... 

Also just a though. What would happen if square took Dennis and put him and some new game. only thing is he had a slightly different outfit and went by O.S or D instead of OceanSpirit Dennis?

Icey, don't ever change.  8)

Megaforce?

Damn it, Limp! Stop being so awesome! I haven't even finished lunch!

Yes, it is MegaForce. Just teh bestest movie of all time, as I'm sure you already knew.

Your turn, sir.  8)

Sweet! Here's my clue:



Hint: It's super awesome! 

Cactus Flower? $?

notepad? your talking about the notepad program that comes with windows? if so how do you get them online?

Instead of saving them as a text file, you just save them as a html file. Change the file extension, that's all. That's how old timers like me did it way back in the pioneering days of Geocities, don't you know.
