My roommate and I worked on a Dungeon Master type game for the Amiga for
2 years. IMNSHO, it's very advanced. The main neat thing about it is that
you can build dungeons out of pieces of bricks. That way each wall, pit,
monster, or anything can look completely unique. It gets 9 fps on the
500 and 25 on the 3000. It's all extremely optimized for speed and memory.
About 30% assembly. And unlike other DM games, your view is 320 X 160 X 5.
We use more colors and bigger graphics, its way faster than any other DM
clone, uses less memory, and the graphics are stunning compared to other
games.
There's a very nice wall editor for building walls and a dungeon editor for
building multi-level dungeons. Everything works. The engine is done. I
even drew some great graphics. We're at the point where you can walk around
in your dungeons. We even put objects on the ground and made an object
editor, but haven't written the tools to put objects in the game -- you
still have to do it by hand. There's still no monsters or buttons on the
walls. Doors don't open, etc.
It's really incredible. But neither of us have touched it in a year.
We may or may not pick it up later. We finished the main engine and then it`
kind of got tedious For now, we don't see it going anywhere and would like
to think that all that work isn't going to just die. We only want to give it
to people who really will work on it and who already know how to program well.
