Also I would like to ask what engines there are for this? I know RPG maker and that game maker is one that gives you an ok base for your code in what comes to tiles and objects.

Thanks I'm interested to learn more about the options in this genre and I'm most interested of the way the 2D graphics (game world) is represented in these 2D games (RPG maker style tiling). In fact I'm not much of an interested of the battle system these games use but just the 2D sprite graphics.

In Christ,
Jari.

Here's a video of this mornings cut scene testing using RPG maker (that took the whole morning): http://voiceofhisword.com/misc/csd.htm

It's bit choppy, but viewable I think.

Any one knows what that story represent? It's Matthew 24:48-51. You see I'm trying to represent Jesus' teachings using RPG maker XP which would also serve as a base for the unique "combat" system I have in mind.

I wish that there would be something that had similar tiled graphics system and would allow dialogs like RPG maker but would also be free.

Please, tell me what you think about all this?

I just viewed the video -- that's a really interesting method of telling parables. I like it! I think you did a good job with it.

I'm sorry -- I really don't know any RPG-maker type tools well enough to recommend anything -- I've never used them.

Thanks for keeping us updated on your progress!

I do wonder what kind of projects there are ongoing in this genre.

Faith_Warrior,
What OS are you using? Windows xp pro? Doesnt XP pro only allow 10 inbound simultaneous connections? If not, let me know. That was another reason i gave up the text games on MITE, I thought I couldnt get many players on. If i am wrong about that, then humm.... Oh well, i am still in graphics mode for now. I know Linux allows a lot more simultaneous connects but the MITE text engine didnt work with Linux just yet. Btw, with the advent of MONO ###_17.1 beta, i think it is, the IDE in MITE is activating on Linux but the IDE is still not fully functional. Its getting there though.

For applications that you make, there is no such limitation and windows does nothing to manage limits on how many connections can be managed through your software or hardware layers. They of course are not gaining access to the Winders server system but just connecting to your application through a set of communication protocols. They don’t have a winders user account on the machine to connect to which has limits you are referring to, so yes you can have 100k connections or more to your application if your system can handle the traffic.

Oh man, then i was way off on what they were talking about. I thought they meant that i could only have 10 incoming telnet or TCP or whatever connections, at one time on winXP pro, connecting to application software such as MITE. Well that gives me food for thought then. This is great news for when i learn multiplayer programming. That is so cool. I was thinking i was gonna have to figure a way to have a 50 cal win2003 server to run any big multiplayer game server. Now i can do it with XP pro. PTL Jesus. Thanks for the info Faith_Warrior.

Hey, if anyone is interested in that code I was talking about, here is a link. It’s public domain so you can do anything you want with it. It has the compiled .exe’s as well as the source. http://www.oat.ee/andres/nc.rar

Here is a pic of what it looks like

Not a full game of course, but it's a start

PS: The server was not online, I guess you have to run one your self.

Yes you run the server yourself, I’m not aware of any active servers. Is it a Christian project? Doesn’t look like it, just example code meant to be done to whatever anyone wants to do to it. As for info, the thread is on the Blitz Basic forum in the code archives (not much there). As for his other projects, there is info if you backspace the download link I provided, nothing there on nemesis though.

I think, we'll make the game single-player first, and then look at making it multiplayer/online. There are a lot of what-ifs to think about with online games. Online games are the biggest culprits for video game addiction, so I'd want to consider that, first.

The trick is to get them hooked young and blame the government for not having strong enough rpg regulations.

My competition game '7 Churches' was essentially a proof-of-concept for that idea. I wanted to see what I could do, and then move on to creating the tactical game.

But I actually really like Steveth's idea/plan.
