I've got a project going....

I winked at the lady, and proceeded to walk out of the room. I knew what she was thinking. Damn I'm good. She said not a word as I left into that cold, dark, rainy night, but there was a vast conversation spoken. I knew what had to be done, and there was no stopping me. As I got to my car, I lit up a fine cuban cigar with a wooden match, and cast the match behind me into the shadows. I slipped into the car, and removed my hat, tossing it aside into the passenger seat, that was empty as always, like christmas morning for a naughty child; nothing was ever there. With a deep drag of the cigar, I relaxed for a moment, and looked up out the window to the apartment where she was. As expected, I saw her looking from her window, down at me. Smoothly, I turned on my car, and took off, leaving her to ponder whether or not that would be the last time she sees me. Maybe it would be. Maybe not. Like all things, maybe its just a roll of the dice; lady luck decides whether we live or lose...

wait... what? anyway yeah I've got a project going and I can has a spotlight.

if you do decide to test it, lemme know if you find any bugs. I do believe I got them all, it works perfectly normal on my calculator, played through it twice already (Melee then "spell" caster.... ps, melee solo is actually kinda hard.) Hope you get around to it soon.

much more advanced than the first one. found a nice gem called "xLIB". gonna use that, already doing paperwork on ideas. features that are planned

Timed Attacks
some player attacks will have button press timings in them to do additional effects. (ie Player regular attack you can hit the 2nd button in the right time to do extra swings. my best record is 13 swings, but that was sheer luck because at 13 you have exactly one "frame" to hit the button. You can't spam the 2nd key either. if the game detects you spamming, (ie you press 2nd twice within the timeframe of a continued attack) itll treat it as if you had not pressed the action button at all. This is to make the player become more tuned to the timings.)

Three Party system
You have three players in your party at any particular time. (Potter and two friends)

Multiple Characters
The three default characters in the team, as well as four unlockable characters.

Graphics.
Maps, zones, battles, etc. lots of eye candy. already done some code for battle eye candy and it looks okay so far. for worlds I'm hoping to try my luck at a scrolling map for each world, but no promises. depends on memory mostly.

Story
Multiple endings, different bits of dialog based on members of your party. Specific party members in party at key times give bonuses, etc.

Optional Bosses
What would you do without a few optional bosses that know kick your ass.

"Level" system change
Instead of kill the monsters ding level up, you kill the monsters get XP, and spend XP to increase your stats, allowing you to customize every character to benefit what their role in the party is. Also, allows you to be "hardcore" and play the game with entry-level characters. (I'll have to figure ways to make playing the entire game at "level 1" possible, but incredibly difficult.)

Inventory system
32 64 undecided "Consumables" at max, preventing you from stocking 80000 mountain dews and chug-spamming. every character also has specific equipment that they can use. Also, the "Party" can equip a special item that has effects overall, IE, the equip "EXP Magnet" which increases party XP gain from all victories by 10%, or the "Skairy Mask" which makes the enemies skairyfaiced and they don't want to engage in battles. (Except bosses, obviously, they hate you either way.) changed this on paper to "Party perks" (one allowed at a time) and "Character Perks" allowing four at a time. Say if you pick up the "Strong Arm" perk (ups STRENGTH value) you can equip it on all characters, but you can't put it in all four spots.

SemiRandom encounters
Zones may or may not have random encounters. Sometimes if you travel down a certain hallway you will run into a pack of enemies, but later on if you travel back you may not. You never know. Speaking of that, I try to not make it "poof you run into enemies" but rather something you visually see, like if you're walking down the street you will stop, see a nazi on a segway ride up toward you, and then engage. This may also present the ability to "dodge" fights by doing the right action at the right time. IE, you push the button to hide in an alley so the nazi does not see you. Note, having certian characters in your party can help in evading fights too. Say you run into a Fembot and you have the female character in your party, she can make the fembot leave you alone. this is good and bad, because if you're looking to farm a particular enemy group for some reason, (say, that group gives more experience points than another group, or you're looking to farm this enemy group for an item) it can be a hinderance. so, you'll have to do something else to prevent this from happening if you're looking for a fight. And another thing, because of the way I'm handling the "semirandom" encounters, no, you can't just push left and right to farm an enemy area. You'll have to physically LEAVE and return. This is to discourage 'azn_farming' from happening because the game wouldn't be any fun if you're insanely overpowered through the entire game. Not saying you CANT farm, its just frowned upon.

iffy on this one. Super Random Fun Dungeon
Tired of questing? Want to just do some random dungeon crawling? Feel like a pro? Totally based on the dungeon in lufia 2? Why not try the Super Random Fun Dungeon? A dungeon where you start at base level stats (dont worry, your XP is preserved in a separate area so it isn't lost.) and work your way down 99 floors randomly made.

have to think about including a battery checker so you can keep track of your calculator's battery life.

sound good?

As far as the story goes, I have it worked up already but I'm not going to say anything yet because I just released Potter Quest 1. This project will probably take about a year as well if I'm doing it solo (some time for coding, most of the time for tweaking it to get it just right.). Go play PQ1, nao.

been a while. got a project finished, just uploaded it to TIcalc, epic length text RPG based on real world stuff around me, hope to get my webmaster to get the FTP login for my section of a website so I can upload it there too and skip the long wait from TICalc >.<

I used to do code a lot more on the TI platform, but I took a long break with disappointment with the RL, but hey, I might be back. I want to learn either flash or perl. If you know either and you can teach me, feel free to hit me up on that, and ill thank you greatly. If you want to do a project for a game too, lemme know and ill see if I'm not busy.

omg h4y5 r teh @0l haxx0rz they 0wn7eh newbies liek omg wtf lol p1r@73zz

Hays fucking sucks.
