So, regarding that RPG Tyran mentioned a while back... I tried the demo, and yeah, I kind of like it. A bit tricky to navigate if you're used to the turn-wise gameplay of Avernum. It's very clearly based on the Diablo interface, from the inventory to the combat and those red/blue health and magic counters. Unfortunately, after spending some time in it, I mouthed off to a thief without realizing the encounter was way out of my level range, and got a lesson in saving often. :P -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair. | I have a love of woodwind instruments.

Legend of Atlantis is supposedly as old as civilization. But, that's a legend in itself. :P -------------------- You Shall Die Laughing: http://www.worfthecat.ermarian.net/converted The Roost: www.roost01.proboards104.com.

As a matter of fact, it was an allegory invented by Plato. However, the time period given by him was almost four times as long ago (9000 years) when he lived as has passed since then (2400 years). Draw your own conclusions. -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair. | I have a love of woodwind instruments.

Plato claimed that he got the legend of Atlantis from the Egyptians. There have been attempts to place it as a distorted account of the Cretean civilization. Locations for Atlantis include the island of Thera in the Aegean Sea that suffered a volcanic eruption and out in the Atlantic Ocean in the Bahamas and Cuba.

Hard evidence could also explain it. I think Ballard found villages 500' feet below the Black Sea. It is easy to imagine that glacial melt would have erased seashore cities, and without written records all we have is oral tradition. Allegory follows, especially if you don't want to piss off Posideon. -------------------- WWtNSD? Synergy - "I don't get it." Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

From what I've read that is the explanation for the Biblical Flood. There was a sudden influx of water from the Mediterrean Sea in a matter of days that raised the water level and sent the survivors fleeing. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

The NG site says around 6" per day. Not so noticeable at first, but after 3 days they would fear. Picture the Austin Powers steamroller scene. Isn't it likely that Egyptian legend could have come with the conquering tribe of the Syrian highlands? -------------------- WWtNSD? Synergy - "I don't get it."

I hope that if Jeff does 3D that he can do it better than the original NWN and Dungeon Siege 2 --- there's something that is crude-looking about "chunky" 3D characters. While I can pass off games like Nethergate as "retro", 3-D polygon mish mash faces up close are neither retro nor modern. Or just do it 3D and have a top down isometric view (for fluid and realistic animation) but don't do close-ups if the close ups aren't nice and smooth looking, or if the mouths don't move when people are speaking...(!) What I like about current SW games: 1. Turn-based combat, not real time clickfests. 2. Jeff's room and location descriptions. 3. Party combat, not solo mode only (with tagalong npc's) Posts: 102 | Registered: Monday, September 3 2007 07:00 |

At the most--at the VERY MOST I MIGHT ask for a textual acknowledgement...something like "Original idea submitted by ___" or what have you, and not even that, probably, since I really wouldn't care. I don't have the motivation or the skills to pursue any ideas I come up with, so seeing them used in some fashion would be good enough for me. -------------------- Well that signature was out of date, since I've not been here in forever.

Jeff needs to put a disclaimer in the registration screen- "By registering an account on this forum, you allow any ideas that you yourself posted to be used in any way by Spiderweb Software." But in more refined legal terms, of course.

If it's 3D, it is probably a single character game. Building a whole party in 3D would be nightmarish if it is the first time you are doing the game. It will probably be a fantasy game because that is what he has done before. It will probably be a conversion of Blades of Geneforge into a single character 3D environment. Maybe, it will have some unique settings which he hasn't tried before. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

Although, my impression from looking at OGRE 3D is that it is better than Irrlicht, Irrlicht is another open source 3D platform for games... -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.
