Traditional Roguelikes (Turn Based) / Re: 3D roguelike

Purestrain: "Forget about fully 3d. You won't ever finish it."

Why do you say that? Can you be more precise please?

Btw, a new version is available (0.1d). It uses shaders for per-pixel-lighting and fog.

Traditional Roguelikes (Turn Based) / Re: 3D roguelike

Z: "And, the roguelike idea of display is that it should present information in a way which is easy to read. 3D display of a 2D game does not have this property. But that's not a big problem, of course. And it encourages all those people who cannot play a game unless it is 3D."

The game will come with a classic 2D view on the lower-right corner (see screenshots). A map of the visited blocks will also be available ("m" key). 3D sound will give a special ambient and gameplay. Combats will occur more in a "Final Fantasy" way...

Z: "A true 3D roguelike would not only have a 3D display, but also the world should be three-dimensional."

The game will be fully in 3D.

All:
Do someone has tried the prototypes? v0.2 shows the 2D map displayed.

Enjoy,
Gael

Hi Anvilfolk,

I'll search the Web about Demise. Thank you for the information.

For everybody:
I'm searching for people who'd like to participate to the game.
Any help will be appreciated. 2D/3D artists and sound masters
are welcome... Talented writers and beta testers also!

I have a story for the game now. Thanks to Deveah

Hello purestrain,

Thank you for your reply.

1) You will smoothly walk in the dungeon, not by block -  idem for the creatures. I won't develop a real combat system - even if I can handle collisions easily - because it means a lot of work the graphic artist(s). For the combat, I imagine a turn-based system.

2) What are your prefered rogue games?

Programming / Prototype of a 3D roguelike

« on: September 03, 2008, 11:00:28 PM »

Hello,

I've created the basics of a 3D roguelike called "The Hole". It is playable (you can walk in the level using the keyboard and the mouse).

Screen capture (1)
http://bb.waw.cx/img/sc1.jpg

I'd like to create such a game, I mean to finish it, but it is not something you can do alone.

Anyway, if you want to discuss on what a 3D roguelike must and must not be,
please post your ideas...

If you want to test the prototypes, here there are

http://bb.waw.cx/Hole/exe/The_Hole_(v0.1).rar    [ 4842 Kb ]
http://bb.waw.cx/Hole/exe/The_Hole_(v0.2).rar    [ 8654 Kb ]

Enjoy,
