Yup, they designate how long it is until someone's turn.

Oh, and this project is not dead.   The storyline just takes forever to plan.  I will be coding on this again in about a week, as I will have a ton of time in a car without computer access.

DJ, I really like the ROL3 screenie!

Ah, I played one game that way. Maybe my first PC RPG ever.
It is harder to see that in ASCII graphics.

The storyline just takes forever to plan.

I know how you feel.  I thought of the storyline for S.A.D. about 5 years ago (no kidding), wrote the entire script out, and it's STILL going under lots of major revisions.

nice, and I thought Illusiat 13 storyline was planned for incredibly long :O

Originally, Illusiat 13 was gonna be an xlIB platformer RPG but I lost interest in the idea eventually. It was gonna use ROL4 storyline, kinda, but with one character. However, afterward I put the idea in ROL4, which died. Afterward I started having thoughts aboutan Illusiat game involving the collision of planet Illusiat with Earth, but then Omnimaga shutted down and I slowly moved toward Casio calcs. Later my interest got renewed and I remembered the idea around late 2008, to eventually start Illusiat 13.

Also glad this is still progressing

*Bump*

As most of you know, I'm working on the storyline now.  I figured I'd share the 7 crystals I think will be used in the final version:
Fire
Water
Air
Earth
Hope
Governance
Intuition

Progress is slow, but it's not at a standstill.

That's actually all I've done with the map.

I will have more, but I want to put actually maps in, and not demo maps.

I think I could have a multi-screen map screenie up in a week and a half.

It is good to know the project is not frozen. I hope you get inspiration to write a good story. And the coding continues at least at slow rate.

I don't have the same difficulties with stories, they easily form in my head. My only problem is writing them down.
Maybe I should write some stories repository or on request. It is just question of writing all I invented in paper and then to the computer.

Thanks guys.
I have a neat screenie that I need to upload.  It shows moving around on multiple maps.

I may have it up by Thursday.   (Time is hard for me to get for the next two weeks.)

Yup, there's about 8 rooms, but it looks like you go from a town into another area where there's a temple.  I need to put it on my comp...
