I don't really see him needing to compete with the likes of Bethesda. Besides, they're not really interested in making RPG's with any sort of turn-based mechanics (Fallout 4 pretty much proves that). But especially for a first game on a new engine, I'd rather see it start smaller in scope, and scale...

“Magic's just science that we don't understand yet.” That said, fantastical science with a semi-grounded lore can go a long way toward immersion and suspension of disbelief. We are seemingly close enough to breakthroughs in technology such as FTL and teleportation (even if we're realistically far a...

@ CrazyBernie Thanks for the info! Did you encounter any graphical glitches while playing? Nothing while I was playing the game, but when I locked my computer with the game still running, this was awaiting my return: CaptureErrorEmerge.JPG I clicked ignore several times, and the window was redrawn,...

My father passed away last month... he was only 56. I have many fond memories of long co-op gaming sessions... Doom, Heretic, Hexen, Quake, Warcraft, Starcraft, Descent, Age of Empires, Command & Conquer, Halo, Gears of War, Call of Duty, the list goes on for miles. Computers and gaming are what...

Checked it out... pretty entertaining. I like the turn-based-but-with-a-little-bit-of-real-time-action-a-la-missile-command style. Several times I wished I could preemptive strike on some zombie controlled areas - I know there's tech later on down the tree, but when you're sitting there with not eno...

Sci-Fi?
Strategy?
Turn Based?
Xcom-ish?
Fallout Tactics-y?
RPG Mechanics?
Skill Trees?
Under a ten-spot?

@ Leezar Ew, Macintosh. :mrgreen: Unfortunately it takes more than free time... it also takes a lack of distractions. It's pretty hard to learn anything that's retain-able when you've got a high energy three-year old running circles around everything. @ blatherbeard I purchased an entire (and consta...

@CrazyBernie: I did take a quick look at Game Maker, but it looked like more work to set it up specifically for a RPG. You're right about that... it's in the name, after all. :mrgreen: Make sure you look into some parallax mapping... it's a little more work, but the effect pays off in spades. Littl...

Good deal! A lot of people crap on the RM series for the resolution, but there are so many talented coders making scripts to do some pretty crazy stuff. You can make a full bore action RPG if you fish around for the right stuff... or an Adventure game a la Zelda. There's even a couple of isometric a...

Come now, the Wrath of Prismatic Maelstrom isn't a great example? :mrgreen: I may have been absent for quite some time, but I have also done some occasional lurking. Seems like you have quite the hate boner for BW these days... isn't time to pull back a little? Here, I made you a post-it: relax.jpg

Well... umm... it's in my Steam library... but see... it's like this... :oops: lotsagames.jpg lotsagames2.jpg And that doesn't count Indie Gala, Humble Bundle, games I haven't activated from various bundles, my Xbox One, Wii U, etc... the sad part is most of them go unplayed... between work, wife, a...

A testament to those with both the skill and the creativity to create games. http://www.engadget.com/2015/10/02/super-mario-maker-crushed-my-dreams-of-making-video-games/ Ever since I can remember playing games (video games, book games, pencil & paper RPGs, etc), I've always had the desire to cr...

*** PREFACE *** So this one was... what, five years in the making? It's a bit of a prologue to Book I, and one that I worked on before LtF: Frozen, but it sorta fell by the wayside and has been languishing on my Google drive, about 75-80% finished. Well since I'm not doing much travelling right now,...

Lewis the… Fighter? Lewis woke up with a start, and almost fell on his face. Ugh, must’ve fell asleep standing up. Whoa… talk about deja vu… and what’s the deal with this place? Looking around, he found himself standing in what was left of a bedroom. The stone walls were crumbling, and there was gra...

Looks pretty slick! Are you planning on doing the "Character Train" style of movement (a la Spiderweb), or having a single character representing the party (say, like Final Fantasy), or just having individual character movement?
