I just finished Reuben's Quest. I think I gotta stop playing games and focus more on developing this game

Which one did you play btw? I remember making the first one quite hard (altough it was short)

jsj795 · « **Reply #197 on:** January 31, 2010, 11:02:52 pm »

I played the first one... I thought the game was a bit slow, although the graphic really was stunning

Yeah that's a major issue with Omnicalc grayscale. I wish xLIB APP came out at that time, it would have ran twice faster maybe.

In 2005 I had a very early build of Reuben for xLIB but I lost it and it only had the walking engine that was modified

Hi, this post is to say that TLM is NOT DEAD, and I actually am working on it.
Although it is a slow progress, and I didn't do anything on calc programming itself, I did work on the background story and the storyline itself, while brainstorming some of the features I can put in.

When I get farther into the storyline and stuff, I *might* release some info for the spoiler

Cool to hear, I hope you don't give up on this, I am looking forward for it. I am curious about what will be the story about too

Me too. I'm glad you're working on this and I'm looking forward to it as well.

Oh, btw, I started coding on calc now.
It really got a boost in optimization and speed(especially after learning some tricks from Factory Series

)
I also gave them new looks, and is now working on the menu system.
The whole game will rely heavily on Horiz Mode and will try to post screenie up by next week^^

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #203 on:** February 19, 2010, 04:21:44 pm »

Glad to see it's progressing again

I hope you continue like this. By horiz mode do you mean it will be an hybrid of graphical and text game? Radical Pi had a similar game on the old forums and CDI/Bsparks also worked on one back then. I'll post a screenie to show what i mean

EDIT (83+ speed)

This game will be fully graphical. When I post the screenie up, you will see what I mean, but I'll try to explain it a little bit more here...

The game's overworld will be on Homescreen (like Illusiat), with sidescrolling action (sort of like The Blue Platform by Eeems), using ASCII. When you enter the menu, or even battle, there will be horiz screen showing the character on the bottom half (the homescreen side) and the menu will be on the top side (the graph screen side). Gah! It's so hard to explain. Will have to wait until I post screen shot (which I plan to do within 2 days

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #205 on:** February 21, 2010, 02:09:34 pm »

I think I might understand, but I like the idea ^^, hoping to see it in action soon

jsj795 · « **Reply #206 on:** February 21, 2010, 07:32:20 pm »

Okay, I just decided to post what I have so far...

ztrumpet · « **Reply #207 on:** February 21, 2010, 08:32:39 pm »

WOW!!! That looks awesome! Amazing job!

That's really, really cool! Excellent!

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #208 on:** February 21, 2010, 08:42:59 pm »

i like this new title screen. I liked the other one too, but (no offense) it looked a bit like generic BASIC games you find on ticalc.org

Nice load save file screen too ^^, and I love how the convos displays with the name on the first line in bigger font. Should make it easier when a NPC has extremly long name. I love the menu so far too. Nice job so far.

Yeah I know. In the TLM note that I keep, one of the list-to-do was to make the better title screen, and one morning, I came up with this idea, so I went for it

and the map, for now, is the place holder. I still have to make the battle engine tho... They are frigging so hard to make!!!
