Clash of Dimensions
« on: August 27, 2010, 10:20:20 pm »
Clash of Dimensions is a BASIC hybrid entry to the DCS7 contest. It is a point-and-click style game that resembles the early Sierra games from the 90's. It uses DCS libs to make it as small as possible in size.

Screenshots:



Planned rooms:


As of now the game has around 13-14 rooms drawn with interactions, and 2 major puzzles to solve.
This game really will make you think, just like the oldies. However, it will come with a walkthrough.
Total progress is around 58% done right now, waiting for some more art.

Tell me what you think, suggestions, comments, questions, whatever and I'll answer.

Darn I love that DCS mouse routine. I really gotta try it at one point.

And your game looks pretty great. I like the old skool style. Those screenshots kinda made me go back 18 years back in time, as I played similar games on the computer back in the days and saw NES games that were similar. I hope you can finish it in time for Cemetech contest.

Welcome on the forums by the way. I saw you lurk for quite a while actually :)

Welcome here! That looks pretty spiffy actually. As far as I can recall there really haven't been any calc games like this done before, so kudos! I look forward to seeing how it turns out. =)

Thank you to everyone who commented, I know most of you are big-time programmers so it means a lot when you say it looks good.

as i said over on cemetech(i think) this looks amaze and i shall definitely have to try it out when you're done.
do you think there will be a sequel?
Actually I have big plans for a sequel, more on that when this is done.

About how much time do you think it will take one to play the game, without help from the walkthrough?

A sequel sounds cool. I also wonder how long the game takes to be beaten? I know Illusiat 5 took about 10 minutes, but if you knew everything you could beat it in about 50 seconds :P (it was a school project, though, which got later ported to calcs)

If you know what to do or have a walkthrough it takes around 3-5 minutes, give or take.
If you are clever (and this game sure demands it) it could take anywhere from 10-20 minutes.
And finally if you don't know what to do, and are too stubborn to read a walkthrough, it would take around 30-40 minutes.

Update: around 75% finished!
Found major programming facepalm that saved me 500 bytes when I got rid of it.
