Synergy, you could try to be one. I liked your idea. it would be a pity if it weren't be executed. Aaaaaargh, as Ephesos said, your posts are getting more and more difficult to understand. Ever heard of the words grammar and spelling? probably not. And another thing: the creatures you said where in sci fi series that already existed before you were born. that is, if you are not a person in his mid-thirties or mid-twenties, which i doubt, as you spell like an eight year old. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

There is no way I'm ever going to learn to program a game, but if a powerful and versatile enough game editor ever came along, I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try. The BoA editor isn't it. quote:guess what? ever hear of coldstone i is an editor that you can get at ambrosia.com it works well try it -------------------- join me! we shall harness the power of geckos, bunnys, and fluffy pink stuffed animals and rule the world!!!

Please learn the proper way to use quote tags. It is not the way you are using them. You're supposed to put what you're quoting between the [ QUOTE ] and [ /QUOTE ] tag. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Yeah, there seems to be an epidemic of simultaneous posting lately... And Coldstone isn't so great... I remember trying it. You're still stuck in a restrictive engine, one which is based on running around and killing stuff. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

I kind of liked Pillars of Garendal, though. Without really being able to explain why, since there was literally nothing to it but running around (really a LOT of running around) and madly pounding the X key whenever you ran into anything animate. I think the music was nice, and without looking really good it looked somehow friendly and homey. It's as though it tricked me into feeling that it had been written by my little brother or something. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty.

I prefer to write stories to imaginary fantasy games. I don't have to learn programming and I'm less limited in terms of what I can do. If I had the ability to create a fantasy game, I probably would have been able to create a BoA scenario by now. Plus, it keeps my writing skills sharp. Of course, it's doesn't have that open-ended, create-and-discover-as-you-go-along feel that a game does. Oh well. Can't have everything in life. Seriously, though, tt's good to see creativity and the possibility of more computer games that aren't gory first-shooters some day. Dikiyoba, who didn't actually mind arghhhhhhhhh's creature topic and was disappointed that it was locked before Dikiyoba could post some bizarre fantastical creature.

In brief, I'd like it to be action-adventure, in timeless or futuristic settings (but not an ultra-developped technological world with wires, laser and smog, but a balanced semi-utopic one). I like medieval fantasy too but it's my 2nd choice. I'd like the graphics to be 2d, with handpainted backgrounds and nice and carefully animated figures (Though i'll probably start with texual or pictorial games with simple images, if I'll ever go for it.) And simple but pleasant melodic music. I myself enjoy [good] dialogues, I sometimes reload games over and over only to go through every option of conversation, so naturally I'd set lots of them in my own game. I'd also let the player have the choice of shaping their fate by their own actions so they'll see different endings (hopefully tempted to play it again, too...). It probably wouldn't be breft of battle but I'd somehow make players consider death and take it slightly more seriously, say, no sadistic gutsplitting. Well I can't describe further *yawn* got to go to sleep... lucky you lol Posts: 12 | Registered: Friday, December 16 2005 08:00 |

Originally by Ephesos: quote:Oops. I did that somewhere else too. I already apologized to Alorael on another post but I guess I have to do it again. Sorry. I usually refer to myself in third person to sign off, but that must have been one of my earlier ones where the ", who" got by. I don't know why. (Look, it rhymes!) Dikiyoba likes to sign off like this. It's different. Hopefully, it's different enough to avoid offense. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

It's so nice to have minions to enforce your policies for you! —Alorael, who has no problems with anyone wanting to be weird and slip into the third person for the last paragraph of a post.

Screenshots of Pillars of Garendall look cool. I'll check Coldstone engine... though I feel too lazy to start learning something. I see that they're working on an engine for one of my favorite games ultima 8 though it's not going to be independent. Think at my best I'll start with Interactive Fiction as said before. Still, if you know of other interesting 2D engines (as noob-friendly as possible) please share. Posts: 12 | Registered: Friday, December 16 2005 08:00 |

I don't know if some people are grouping fantasy and rpg, but I like both. I wish I had the graphics engine the Avernum 4 has. Or Delver- I hope we all have played Cythera, one of my favorite games of all time. There is an application called Coldstone, made by Ambrosia Software.....
