Let me just say this: The War of Mmruda is about 95% dead on calculator format. I've instead resurrected it in the form of a fantasy fiction book series. The War may be over... but the Chronicles of Mmruda have only begun! *play dramatic music*
So what am I now programming? I'm now working on the Game Maker 7 platform, and my first project will be a short RPG called 'The Destined'.
http://www.sharebigfile.com/file/138554/demo1-exe.html
As you may notice (I don't see how you wouldn't...) it starts out with the logo for Magenta Lightning, the name of my new beginning programming group. No, we don't have a forum.
Title: The Destined
Genre: Turn based RPG
Plot: In the land of Grodul, all was well until the wizard Breig came along. He threatened to enslave the world with his magic. Eventually he was defeated, but not before he had the chance to lay down a curse on the island continent. In one thousand years, all would be destroyed in one godly event.
Now, humanity's time has expired. A wave of monstrous creatures has descended from the underworld to kill all. It seems nothing can stop the last stand of Breig. Nothing can stop The Destined...

I'm glad you're still alive.

I knew I forgot something in that description... press space to advance from the title screen to the demo area...
Also, WoM may not be as dead as I'm saying it is. ^-^
Someone I know may start calc progging, and if he does I'll probably fall into my normal competitive self...

Then through another random chain of events, I ended up spending the last three hours watching random japanese episodes of Naruto on youtube...
Looks like I'm already thinking of new and creative ways of procrastinating working on this. Tomorrow I'll just focus on the story and characters. I can find sprites elsewhere.

I hope WoM won't die, i was (and still am) looking forward to it.

But I'm not a total failure. I'm making a map now.

Okay, towns are circles, dungeons are squares, mountains are those hideous triangles, water is blue (forgot the ocean though), and there's a boat to take you to that island at the end. Purple paths signify the intended path the player is to make; I'm not sure if I'll make the entire island; probably not.
The battle system has been brainstormed and I think I came up with something versatile and allowing for maximum strategy. In other words, a pokemon ripoff mostly.
But I hope to dig deep into the workings of GM7 so this game could go online for multiplayer battling someday. That way the system is put to use ^_^.
I'll be making spells for the next few weeks. I'm not stopping until I have at least 200. Then the hard part will be separating them all into spellbooks of 4 or 5 each, without letting any of them become too overpowered...

Just kidding. :0wn3d:
It's good that you seem to have a good portion of it planned out.

hmph, it seems like I actually did plan out a lot this time!

Well, let's hope the battle won't be a complete pokemon ripoff. I didn't really like the pokemon battle engine because I thought it was too limited. Maybe a battle engine where the player could move on the battlefield and there would be obstacles and such...meh, I'm starting to dream again...

Also, I'm fine with a limited system, as long as the strategy you need to win is maxed out. Have you heard of pokemon's http://www.smogon.com/? These people have taken the game to such a high level of strategy; that's sort of what I'd like this to achieve someday. Yeah, this is probably coming from the fanboy side of me...

I have decided upon the 10 elements in the battle system. That's farther than WoM ever got...
