As some of you might have noticed, I've been busy posting in the Mockups thread. I've decided to turn these mockups into something more and actually make them into a fully fledged game! In case you haven't seen, here are the mockups and test tiles so far:

The game is currently planned to be done in pure BASIC, but I may end up resorting to some ASM/ASM libs to read from archive if things get to big. Stay tuned for more!

Oooooooh, you are making this in basic, I assumed in axe

For the data, you could do something similar to the reuben basic thing, if I understand it correctly there were programs to load the tilemap into a matrix, while these programs were named generically, e.g. MAPXY.
That way you could archive/unarchive them with pure basic command stuff ^.^

Also, looking forward to seeing some awesome stuff!

Yea, I'm really wanting to show off BASIC. I doesn't get enough love these days and I want to show that it can still do really cool and pretty games. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle all the data, how large it will be, or if i can even fit it all into RAM. While i can use lists and setupeditor to archive and unarchive lists from a program, I'm not really sure if i want to do that.

If need be some assembly stubs could be made to load compressed data out of appvars or even lists. With that you would still show off the power of basic but leverage some of the space saving abilities/speed for it in assembly

That being said so far it looks awesome. Good luck with it!

Never mind the language you're programming in, as long as the computer gets what you mean. That looks pretty interesting, but aren't we missing some animation here? IMHO, the animation variable does play an important part, or not? I'm not an expert, so please be patient

@Geekboy1011 : I agree, and that would not be outside the scope of what I want to do.

@SpiroH
Not sure exactly what you mean. If you are asking about animated gifs, there aren't any yet. These are just simple images I made to show how the game will look. If you are asking if the game itself will have animations, the answer is yes, but somewhat limited depending on what's going on. I suspect I won't be using moving NPCs. I do also agree though, language overall isn't important as long as it lets you accomplish what you want with your game or program.

Here's a quick mockup of what the battle screen might look like. Please note that the sprites are only place holders and will not be used in the game.

*edit*And.... since I can't sleep another quick and dirty one. This is a possible shop interface:

Sorunome · « **Reply #7 on:** August 19, 2015, 03:17:07 am »

custom font?
Anyhow, both mockups are lioking awesome!

TIfanx1999 · « **Reply #8 on:** August 19, 2015, 06:28:56 pm »

Thanks. The font was just something I came up with on the fly as I was creating the mockup. I didn't feel like looking up Ti's 5x7 font so I came up with something kind of similar. That said, custom fonts *are* actually doable. I've thought about it, but they will make things larger, and they might be kind of a pain to implement.

Sorunome · « **Reply #9 on:** August 20, 2015, 03:32:41 am »

what if you use some asm lib for custom fonts?

TIfanx1999 · « **Reply #10 on:** August 20, 2015, 06:25:50 am »

That could be a possibility, but I think I'd rather not.

TIfanx1999 · « **Reply #11 on:** August 22, 2015, 08:27:45 pm »

Updated shop mockup. Also finished a new font shown off here:

Sorunome · « **Reply #12 on:** August 23, 2015, 04:29:25 am »

I like this custom font a lot

TIfanx1999 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 23, 2015, 08:55:08 am »

Thanks. I'm quite pleased with how it came out as well.

IMO, mockups are fun but are dead! What really excites me is the way the game story unfolds. Can we have a rough idea of what you have in mind or is too soon? Surely you must have already something thought out (drafted in your mind). Good luck with that
