| Beautiful char-mode, nothing compares for RPGs and they look so clean on c64. |

| TWW: apart from the fact that the tiles here look great, despite the heavy restrictions of char mode, there are a million other things that are more important to get right when making an RPG. |

Moloch: Sounds good: IRQ loading would be great, nothing worse than playing a RPG, the screen goes black and the drive starts...2 mins later it happens again in another part of the game.
Looking forward to the next release :-) |

The speed of the scroll routine is limited by a delay loop otherwise you'd move from 0 to 128 within a few seconds.

I like the idea.
However I do have a recomodation:
How about using Bitmap Hires instead. Gives you (a little more) graphical posibilities. Animations will be the same, the $d800 colour routine is the same, the only thing you need is to move 8 times more graphics in memory for the bitmap. With the movement speed here this shouldn't be very dificult.
my 8 bits! |

I love the graphics style, and Adamantyr's project has been an inspiration for me too. The game sounds ambitious, so this preview was a little underwhelming - I was hoping to learn more about the game design, scripting, combat system, object management, and all the other things that make CRPG development interesting.
Looking forward to the xmas beta.

Thanks for the feedback guys! It's good to hear and increases team morale!
@Ksubi: We'll certainly use an IRQ loader, we really haven't looked further than that into loaders. Map compression is also a factor that comes into play.
The world is 48 128x128 maps with 8 towns (64x64), 4 temples (64x64), 4 castles (64x64), 2 lighthouses (64x64), and four dungeons (128x128), plenty of these locations are multi-level. Disk size for final release is probably two sides minimum.
The game is based around my P&P D&D sessions of 20+ years. The interface and "feel" is heavily based around my favorite C64 CRPGs - Legacy of the Ancients, Legend of Blacksilver, and the Questron series.
We're working on a new, more playable, preview for release at WoC in December.

Based on the interface it seems to be a heavily gamist oriented CRPG.
Area representation looks good, glad to see a minimalistic approach -- I liked Wasteland's even more symbolic and minimalistic graphics as well.
Hopefully game design will not be exclusively targetting gamists, and there will be non-combat encounters and clever puzzle solving tasks beyond the red-key-for-red-gate stuff. I am curious what the finished game will turn out to be like. |

| Really nice :) Love the RPG feel built up by the attention to detail with regard to the graphics and the atmospheric music. A few questions: 1) How big is the game going to be? (hard to tell at this stage I guess) 2) Any idea with regard to loading systems? (IRQ etc) Anyway, I'll be following the progress...thumbs up :) |

Chrom: just by searching some random byte pattern from the music data, for example
18 00 5F 1C 31 5F 1C 21 5F 1C 31 5F 1C 21
It's no magic =)

| Hey Motion, I'm really curious to know how in the world you managed to identify that tune in HVSC... It amazes me! :) |

The music sounds like: /MUSICIANS/R/Ross_Mark/Mutator.sid - only (as you state), this preview features an excerpt of the complete tune, that I've listed here.
I love that font in the note and game. Good luck with the project, guys! |
