Rpg

by RichardoSmith · in Torque Game Engine · 02/11/2005 (2:25 pm) · 4 replies

I want to write an RPG that is very much like the Might and Magc series.
Can any experienced developers tell me what tools I should learn and use
to do this.

I have Gamespace 1.6 and Torque Indie license.
I've also downloaded most of the free tools like milkshape,
Quark, etc. and Studied some tutorials related to them.

And, What I would really like to do is use the latest version
of Unrealedit to create the environment. Although, I understand that
it does not and will not ever work with Torque.

Is there anyone who would correspond with me during the
first stages of this process so that I can get moving on it faster?

Oh... BTW, any other aspiring M&M developers or just plain M&M fans,
there is a Tribute in development (MMT) at this web address.

I liked to play the Might and Magic series but I liked Pool of Radiance the best (Dungeons and Dragons). I'm making Pool of Radiance type game right now. Unlike Might and Magic which has first person battles I prefer top view battles. While keeping the adventuring map in first person view.

Wanna make a game with me? :)

We can sure as hell try.
How long have you been developing?
I just got started.
Finally, this evening, I was able to create an interior house with stairs,
A portal for entry and a lighting entity using Quark 6.3.
I can see how I will be able to use this well to create interiors
and levels.

I am pretty familiar with all aspects of Torques mission editor,
I have created a test game environment that I am using for
my learning.

One thing though, I'm not very fond of the top down mouse click
environments like Pool of Radiance.
However, I think having battle sequences in top down view are
in some cases acceptable.
I do love the D&D series and am familiar with the whole set
that was published in the 80's.

Lets correspond by email. Or maybe we could set up a realtime chat system.
I'm at Ingot@kc.rr.com

I made some games on other engines. Even finished a HoMM type game without any magic :P I'm new to the Torque engine though!

Ok..
I have been messing with Torque and feel
real comfortable with it now.
I am currently learning my other tools,
like Quark, Milkshape, Gamespace etc.
