Introduction:
I am working on a game named "Pirate Game". It’s my school project and I have been working with it about half a year. The game is written in Blitz3D but the actual game is 2D. I am the programming the game and working with the graphics (most graphics is used from guys who give free game graphics). I have chosen the Basic language because of I am familiar with it. The game's genre is RPG (role playing game). The game consists of over 5000+ lines of code and the game is based on 4 layers.
-Layer one is base ground collision based on tile
-Layer two is the tiles on top of the base ground and collision is also based on tile
-Layer tree is a not blocking and the layer is above the player
-Layer four is the roof layer when a player walks under one of the tiles in the layer four the layer four layer will despairs.

Here is some what you can do in the game.
-Save/Load Character
-Kill monsters & gain level
-Increase the 6 attributes of the character (Strength, Constitution, Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma)
-Discover Quests
-Talk to NPCs and buy from them
-Wrap zones (Teleporting system)
-Listen to music while you play with my jukebox

I have made a Map Editor, NPC Editor and a Weapon Editor. I can make the most stuff in the Map Editor which is good.

Here is some screenshots from the game:

Nice work! That's awesome that you've got all of the editors built out as well.

Any chance of releasing a demo or putting some videos on YouTube?

I might release a demo or a video but there is still alot of work todo. Like quests, story and such things. Iam happy you like the project.

He ain't the only one. Thats badass. Also if you do release YouTube vids, you get to join an exclusive club
And you also get a shiny blue name tag

Yeah I agree that does look badass. Make sure to let us know if you do release a video.

Wow that's looking great. I love the art (Tell "Lars" he's the man). I really need practice doing top-down stuff.

I will make one maybe tomorrow so... ^^

edit: Some of the graphics on the picture is taken from a artist from the internet that give away his graphics free.

That looks awesome.

I would make the character two tiles tall.

It would look more real to me.

The player graphics will be changed soon to a new and better one.

Sorry for the bad quailty and fps!

It looks really great :D

Damn that is really good.

Did you program that editor all yourself? That's a pretty cool project man.

Yeah. The editor was the easy part but the game is so much harder to make it run smoothly and get all the systems work.

I must say I watched your video, and I was impressed with both the editor and the game, great job!

I like your user interface, simple, and non intrusive
