The Project: The Lord of the Rings 83+

The Reason I Will Not Be Sued For It: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fangame states that "Most companies that don't outwardly promote or challenge fangames have in the past exacted a de facto policy of non-involvement or neutrality, officially stating that their copyrighted material may not be used without permission, but refusing to prosecute fangamers for doing so (other than cases in which games have been sold for profit)." As far as I know, I do not plan to market a TI game as shareware.

Free games for all!

The Design:
'Twill be a turn-based RPG, so you'll go along fighting Orcs and Goblins and Uruk-Hai, and of course, bosses. If and when I get around to making more than just The Fellowship of the Ring, saved games will be transferable. The Fellowship will cover the formation and journey of the Fellowship starting with Frodo and Sam in the Shire and covering up until the Breaking of the Fellowship and Boromir's death at Amon Hen.
NOTE: I cannot take animated screenshots unless someone knows of a Mac-compatible TI emulator - TI Connect doesn't like the concept. :dang:

ALSO NOTE: Powered by xLib v.601b

Features:
- Party system, with up to nine playable characters and three in the front line
- In-game help files
- 18 weapons and 12 kinds of armor
- Special abilities for each character (The Ring for Frodo, for instance)
- Helpful status screen
- Onboard memory-cleaning
- Inventory
- Localized in English and Fran

Sounds pretty nifty. 8] You're doing it in z80 basic I assume? Are you going to use xlib or pure?

Jeremy Avalon · « **Reply #2 on:** April 03, 2006, 06:57:00 pm »

xLib. I edited the post to say that right as you posted. Funny how life works like that.

lol, yeah. I saw you were on the page looking at the topic, but I didn't know you were editing.

If you can't make moving screenies are still ones good enough for you?

BCTurk · « **Reply #4 on:** April 04, 2006, 01:02:00 am »

Yes, post all the still screenies you want

This sounds intriguing! I am a big LOTR fan, and it sounds that you are going all out. Can't wait for them screenshots...

That sound very nice, I hope to see this come out.

Can ti connect on Mac take screenshots? If so you could take them from here, and if it doesnt allow saving them, maybe try taking a screenshot of the computer desktop area where the screenshot is. Otherwise the only solution is to try on a PC or send the game to someone who can make screenshot

Jeremy Avalon · « **Reply #7 on:** April 04, 2006, 03:42:00 am »

TI Connect on a Mac (only Mac linking software I know of) will take still and animated screenshots, but it will take neither as long as a program is in a loop. The calculator has to be either on the homescreen, graph screen, or paused.

tifreak · « **Reply #8 on:** April 04, 2006, 03:46:00 am »

Well, What I do is find a part of the game that is most impressive, press ON, and then take a screen shot of that.

There is of course the alternative of posting a link to a file and asking politely to get someone to take screenshots of the file in different areas...

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #9 on:** April 04, 2006, 03:51:00 am »

I would say break program execution, go to graph screen and take a still screenshot from here

Sounds like you have your stuff straight!

I hope to see some more on this !

I love making animated screenies. Let me know if you want my help.

Sounds like a cool prjoect, keep it up

Jeremy Avalon · « **Reply #13 on:** April 04, 2006, 11:27:00 am »

Woot, this is testing week in my district.

Meaning lots of progress will (most probably) be made.
Hence, relatively large update today!

EDIT: Realized I should probably state this beforehand. For those of you (probably just tifreak) who know someone in the TI community under the alias "NightWind," this is my new username.
