Or make a damn good procedural/random generation engine. With those, the work is in creating rules for how worlds occur, progress, and react to stimuli; after that, you can just have the thing generate as huge a world as you can. You can also probably recycle a lot of that code for different games, if you do it right.

Dude you just gave me a really kick ass idea for a future project. Imagine a game where each NPC has a random generator of text and they stick with it? One game session the NPC could say something and the next time you play through they say something entirely different and act different. This would be a long process to implement but goddamn would it be fun if done right. Would basically make each game you go through different.


EXAMPLE: NPC: Gregory The Wise


When you first talk to him he randoms 1 out of 8 things. Each thing contains a different quest. You can only get this one quest from him and that's it. If you don't play the load game and go with it, your next run could be something entirely different.


Pretty sweet stuff that would take a grip of work.

That game has some amazing mapping. I mean holy shit. That church or whatever it is looks like it was made from a company. I don't know how they got so much shit compacted into such gorgeous graphics on rm2k3 like that. The guy must be an artist or something. To create a map that good he probably even has some degree of engineering and city designing in real life.

Though, like people said on here. What they show in graphics makes them suffer in other areas. I have personally not played this game but I might. I did try this one Korean game (forgot name) and it was pretty horrible but was gorgeous graphics.

Come to think of it. That sounds like most Korean MMORPG's

So I thought I would ask you a question about your game. How many weapons are you looking at putting in?

I mean will you be putting in some sci fi, and potential future weaponry in your game? If you don't want to give it away don't worry about it. I was just curious as to how you felt and what you were going to do weapon-wise with your game.

Sci fi?
Realistic?
Futuristic?

A mix of those?

AFTERMATH 0.6 TEASER - BANDIT FACTORY

I really don't want to give to much away, but the weapons you find later on will blow your fucking mind.

Aftermath as you already know from 0.5 is getting interesting in the storyline with the CoS and their control over Flagstaff etc. The mystical parts are just going to become more and more a reality and there might even be contact with another world.

You shall see, but you're going to love the end weapons and faction choices going to be added into the game.

Factions will probably be introduced in 0.6 but might be held to 0.7 My goal with the 0.X is have the beta (Full Version) at 1.0. This gives me 4 content updates to release the full game. So, expect some long periods of time before a new launch. I might push back 0.6 until Feb or so. I have a lot to do on it, and I want Flagstaff to blow peoples minds.

Back to factions. I am going to introduce groups of people that can teach the main character how to become a certain class, but also reward him with things with more he does for that faction quest wise. Think of these as a Planescape Torment on the PC. In that game you had to choose between 8 or so factions and would get special items the more you did for that certain group. I plan on adding this type of stuff, along with new classes into Aftermath.

As for the weapons; you might join up with a faction that is highly advanced and learn how to use more advanced weapons like a laser canon.


I'm sure cohorts or other party members is a question being brought up. Will you ever get anybody else in your party? I personally don't know yet. I have designed the game for the main character to take on most of this shit. An extra party member might throw off the balances. What I might do though is add some skills/spells that let you summon a cohort to your aid that is controlled by the computer.


0.5 is only 16/20% of the game. I hope this answers your questions bro.
