Well most peoples from this forum know but I'll post what I'm doing lately :)

I'm currently working on a game engine for a The Eternal Quest which is a 2D RPG.

Its written in C++ with SDL and OpenGL and uses lua for scripting.

From the video
it says "he did programming and art" and "Engine from scratch" but also says, looking for "dedicated artist to help" ;)

Hey guys,

First off thanks for the interest/feedback - I get very little..
In case there was any confusion. I am the one making it, I did all the programming and all the art (meshes/textures) for it and the engine is "from scratch". *trying very hard not to sound cocky*

I first started to work on Viv Online June 2ed 2010. Iv been trying to make games since 6th grade (started with visual basic) and I often find myself wiping everything and going back to the drawing board. Big story short my goal/aspiration is to make a game that is a mix of d@d and 2d Zelda games with a small player base (around 120 players on at a time. soooo.. orpg + fps) the vid above is my current attempt. The game will have a "surface" and an "underdark/underworld". Both of them will have a set of 2 races (to start with), the surface will have humans and dwarfs, the underdark will have drow and kobolds. I will move this up to 4-5ish races each if I get that far. The two sides are hostile. I plan to set it up so that the game is a "pure rp" game - a game in which you act/do/say what you think your character would. This I feel adds meaning to player interaction and player vs. player encounters, and quite a bit to the immersiveness of the world. Immersiveness and elegance are two factors I try take into account when doing anything for the game. Immersiveness breaks down into adventure/action, beauty/fps, real/fantasy, customization/simplicity (for me anyway). Oh and i want the game to be ages 15ish+.

Anywho hope I answered some basic questions any of you had. Some screenshots can be found here. They are 1-2 months old, and show what I started with and what I have now (sorta kinda). Don't have anything else on the web other then that. I think I'll be posting little progress vids to youtube from now on (this might keep me focused).

Thanks,
-Joe

Hey Joe,

I think you've taken a really cool direction with focusing on a good engine and basic toolset to get you started (since your ambition is clearly quite high). I think it's best to start simple and build up. It's far too easy to get carried away with extra features before the "meat and potatoes" are done (I think I'm really starting to learn the value of iterative planning/builds - get something working then expand on it). Feel free to start a thread and talk about it (especially the nitty gritty details of the engine - you'll find a lot of people who are interested in that kind of stuff here).

I just finished college. I have two weeks until my career takes off. IT IS GO TIME. I will be coding non-stop for days. I am currently revamping the CYBORUS Game Engine. It currently lives in spirit across multiple projects, but it is a mess, and it needs lots of help. The primary objective of this revamp is to update the engine code to the latest version and then pool that code into a separate folder. Right now, that engine code is messily integrated with the various projects at varying degrees. By forcing the core into a separate folder, it'll be easier to update the engine across projects. At the end of this brief revamp, all associated projects will take off! I am very excited. :)
