Eventually, someone fought back.
The destruction was so complete, other nations no longer recognized the ISA as a nation.
When the radioactivity began to fade, survivors from all over gathered and built the city of Neo-Lexington.
The city was a utopia, until the fallen tyrant, Emperor Bush arrived at the settlement. He spoke before the citizens, and with his propaganda he united them into his following, and became their ruler once again...
Emperor Bush organized a new elite military force using the new training programs, QUEST, The Centurions, and The Academy.
His rule is absolute and unquestioned, and the people all fell into place under him, peace reigned in Neo-Lexington, until Bush announced his new policy...
No Child Left Alive!
Tragedy looms over the horizon. Who will stand and fight in this most dire hour?
Who will dare to... rebel?

-Replace the name "Bad Guy" with something else...like "Juvenile Exterminator", but that would be too long of a name
-Instead of making spells like "Fire", "Ice", "Earth", and "Electric", make the spells more Sci-Fi oriented: "Power Blast", "Head shot", "Homing Missile", and "EMP Pulse" would suit the story better
Other than those things, nice job so far! ;)

EDIT: It looks like I have recently achieved 200 posts here... (and I just noticed I have almost 1000 on UTI, I think I should plan a major program release for that *hint*)

It isn't a real enemy name, "Rebel" and "Bad Guy" are just what I use to test the battle system.

That's a good suggestion! I'll see what I can do, they'll have to be short to fit on screen.

not to be too picky, but EMP stands for Electo-Magnetic Pulse

Maybe they're wearing special electronic masks, and if you use EMP, they will have less accuracy or something.
BTW, Game looks great so far, can't wait for a release.

EMP used for disabling vehicles, robots, cyborgs, and electronic weapon systems. May also be used to distrupt regular cardio-activity. BTW, cardio-activity is long for "heart beat"

Also I'm trying to create a reactive blocking function, where you block an enemy attack only if you press the block button at the right time rather than switching to a defensive stance like I have it. I cant make it work so far.
I'm trying to decide how to go about dialogue.

Yes, it is very hard to implement. My suggestion would be to create a For( loop with a getkey and if the person presses the block button within correct time span, he successfully blocks.
Another thing you can do is before an enemy attacks, the enemy takes up a stance for one second of what type of attack he will do (left to right diagonal down slash, jab, lateral slash, etc.) and you have to press the correct button to block the attack using the method described in the previous paragraph, only with a larger time span

neat graphics!
world destruction!
screenshots!
swords! (only swords are true B)
)an original story line!
and most importantly
fried Bush!
or so I hope... :D
which leads to Spellshaper liking this project, drooling in anticipation and talkingof himself in 3rd person. *drool*

BTW, what does the writing on the sword say? (if it says anything at all)

Screenshots look killer, storyline sounds a little cheesey, but has potential, and the concept art you drew is great. I'm looking forward to seeing this completed.

| VI? What happened to I, II, III, IV, and V? tongue.gif |
The first 5 were made on my TI-86. I met with a tragic demise when my friend borrowed it and changed the batteries incorrectly, erasing the RAM. II met its untimely end before completion when the calculator froze up and I was forced to remove the batteries. III met with a similar fate before it was finished. IV was completed and existed all summer, until I went in to add a secret level and it was destroyed in the same manner. V was completed for 3 days before being erased by the unseen force of calc freezing.

lets hope VI goes better :D
Post by: Shazane Koronova on March 05, 2007, 04:48:00 pm
So you guys don't think I'm the kind of person who starts a project and never finishes it.
Game engine is fully playable, still in progress and being improved.
The first level is complete!
3 enemies have been created!
The Story is underway.
The dungeon...
THE BOSS!
Keep rebelling, and I'll keep programming!

1) Put the files onto your computer
2) Make a readme
3) Compile it into .zip format using WinZip or WinRar
4) Upload it!

Did you make them oncalc? I don't have the patience for that anymore :(
as for distributing it:
Just as Delnar_Ersike and trevmeister66 said, dump on comp, compress, upload ;)

but...
1) i know it's only a demo, but it can be optimized EXTREMELY!!!
2) very very very nice intro, but when it asks me to choose a class, i chose elementalist and it says "ERR: INVALID DIM" and i select goto, and it shows a value being set to a list. I just realized it, but i guess you didn't creat the list or something. I'll add it in.
Post by: Shazane Koronova on March 09, 2007, 05:56:00 am
I've updated the download to now include those lists.
I know it needs to be optimized, how about some advice on HOW to optimize?
Post by: trevmeister66 on March 09, 2007, 04:23:00 pm
that could get rid of some bytes.
Then check for repetitive code and see if it can be deleted and used only once.
