Title: WWII RPG for the 89 in the works
Post by: SilverCalcKnight|_ on September 09, 2006, 12:28:00 pm
Hello, I'm SilverCalcKnight|_, and you may know me from United-TI. I am working on a WWII RPG for the 89, here was the original topic:

QUOTE
Well, I've been throwing this idea around for a while, and seeing as no one wants to pick it up, I'm going to. I'm still finishing TS89, but I'm starting to form the ideas of this one. Like, it will be based on my strategy RPG engine for the 89, but there will be different characters: soldier, commando, medic, and so on... And there will be ammo, like you need ammo to make a ranged combat attack, but you need more ammo for different shots, kinda like MP, only different somewhat. And you get to pick your main character, but the game picks the rest of your team at each battle, and they are the same level as you. This way, it's more accurate, considering you wouldn't have the same teammates in every skirmish. Oh yeah, and it will be for the 89.



Sprites and other ideas would be greatly appreciated,

*update*
I have done a few tiles, almost finished with graphics in general. I still need:
1. 10x10 "Commando" sprite with a 1 pixel border around the edge, preferably started at the top of the screen
2. Battle animation sprites for:
-Tank
-Missle tank
-Commando
-Landing craft
-Artillery
-Airship (don't ask)
-Aircraft Carrier
These sprites should take up quite a bit of the screen.

I'll be gone for a few days, I'll be checking here in the mornings, but otherwise I won't be here, I got grounded q_q

See you soon,

Keke, will try to post some screenshots tomarrow. I'm typing this from school, I can stay after till 4:45ish Central Time. Unfortunately, I can't get on IRC from here, so sorry xlibman.

-=SilverCalcKnight|_=-

EDIT:  I may be able to post screenies tomarrow afternoon CST, but that depends on whether or not the school's computer will accept my 89. Maybe in the morning if I get up eariler than my parents.

It's not that I can get in trouble (my school district couldn't care less) but it's that the Java applet won't work from here. ;_;

Sorry, Super_Speler, I have that version on calc. But that version isn't meant for the 89. Thanks for searching, though.

No, thanks: unless you could manifest yourself wherever I tossed the CD x_x. It's ok, I was going to revamp the whole thing anyhow. I _may_ have the opening level, "Proving Grounds" done by later this week. If we all join in prayer...meh, just cross your fingers.

Hey all,

Not going to have the demo finished yet. But I may have a skirmish mode done soon, if I can just get to work on it.

Back.

I'm still working on this, but not as much. Trying to create a decent map displaying routine, once I finish that I'll have it made.

Peace

Update: Map routine finished. Did I already post the pic? Working on the engine now. I have the menu made, you can select your characters and it stores them in variables. I also have all the stats planned out.

Classes so far:
Commando
Minigunner
Medic
Black Ops

Got any other ideas?
