The first graphical RPG by me!
This is 100% BASIC graphical RPG that I am attempting.
Still a long way to go, and still haven't decided on how battle system is going to work - either turn-based or real-time.

kind of reminiscent of old rpgs (form how the sprites look)

btw attaching the image is just as good as hosting it somewhere else, in fact it is easier

Nice looking, I like how you used text characters to generate the sprites. Keep up the good work. Smiley

thanks for all support... I will try to finish this project (usually, i go on for a month and stop, b/c i can't seem to make the game up to my expectation) but with Omnimaga's support, will FINISH!
And btw, what do you guys think will be good for this game's battle system?
This game will be standard RPG, with different classes, such as warrior, archer, and mage.
They have a speed component, and want to make it as real-time battle system, but seems pretty hard on basic.
That's why I'm thinking of turn-based battle in 5x5 battle arena. In that way, Archer and Mage can really use their adventage on ranged weapon/spells.

I hope this gets finished, To not put too much pressure on yourself (unless you have about 1-2 years of experience in calc RPG programming) I would recommend a simple battle system. Go with some classes  but not too much and use a turn based battle system or a semi-turn-based one (where time stops flowing completly when you select commands). Tactical system would be cool for a turn based battle RPG. I saw very few of those for calcs before.

I also recommend staying 100% BASIC unless you need a program to run programs from archive memory (if you run out of RAM), because using stuff such as xLIB or Celtic for new programmers can be quite hectic and confusing. Also, do several backups. Group first, then send to computer (the ungrouped files). Even in Pure BASIC, bad stuff can still happen like dead batteries, your calc being reset on a Math test, taken away by teacher, etc

Keep up the good work!

Alright... I have realized the limits to horizontal sprite drawing, and decided to just use the ASCII characters...
So I'm starting the game from scratch again...  Cry

Aw sorry to hear Sad

I think hard coded sprite in BASIC are generally huge, despite being relatively fast. ASCII should be fine, though. Some ASCII chars can do quite good maps if used properly. Don't give up on project, though!

Sad that sucks.  Rewriting an engine completely takes a lot of courage.  Don't give up!
