Text Based RPG!

Have a project in the works but not much media? How about an idea you are turning into a project? Maybe a game design document you want to start with. This is the place.

Text Based RPG!

Post by Miroidan »

Hi all old and new people here on Indie Resource! (Sorry if I put the topic in the wrong section, but this seemed like the best one)

As you can probably see by this topic, I no longer use Java and intend to use C++ instead.
I have made a console application game that is pretty much a Text Based RPG and I would like some ideas, thoughts and suggestions of how I should or could improve it.

Here is a playable version of it, it is currently an untitled game as I haven't come up with any good names.
There are aswell no storyline and no objectives in this game yet, but there is items; such as armour and weapons, even mobs.

You basically use 1, 2 and 3 as your controls and there are currently only 2 rooms to investigate.
When you have created your character you use 0 to open up your inventory to see your items, equipment and character stats.

I don't know of any file hosting service that supports additional files/folders, so here is the changelog if you'd like to take a look.

Please, leave your thoughts about this game, I'd love to hear any thoughts on improvements, performance etc even though it's a non-graphical game. (I could use ASCII, but haven't managed that yet).

Thanks for reading!

I havn't ran that file as I don't trust it 1 post and a console file was my first thoughts from when I first came across this thread. Then I just came across this tonight:

Very true.

Maybe consider upping the source code and allowing us to compile it ourselves? We are pretty adept at stuff like that here ;)

I removed that project. It was a simple one though, and yes it was ran by a console. I'm working on a new project, with a GUI(no console) and have come across 1.5 and are now working on 1.6 which is still unreleased and a work in progress.

Although it is still playable but I'm not sure if you are allowed to advertise your own websites here?

I will give it a try anyway as I don't like spamming topics about the same thing basically, here's a link to my wordpress where I upload changes/updates to my game(s).

The website is now removed from the internet and this project is discontinued. I do have the project left in the Dropbox folder, but as an .exe.
