bongomeno Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) Hey all, I just stayed up through the night and morning making this game lol. What i made is a shooter with several rpg elements including: health, experience, mana, health potions,mana potions,goblins, demons... magic... you get the picture! =) it takes place in a 3d looking (the walls) tunnel. to play, press fire at the main screen then in the game: you are a wizzard running down a tunnel your 'health-bar' is represented by the ball at the top left of the screen your experience is the score you should shoot the goblins(green) and the demons(red) with magic as you pass by them if you have no mana then you cant use magic health potions (red) heal you a little mana potions (blue) give you some mana there are holes in the ground (black) that you should avoid NEW: you can gain a new wizzard (purple) by 'running into them'. NEW: as you gain more wizzards you gain more health but they will die as you lose health UPDATE: ---------------------------------------------------------------- I wanted this game to be more like an rpg so i made it to where you can control up to 3 wizzards in the tunnel. You can 'collect' them as you run down the tunnel... if you lose health, they will be killed off. a good strategy would be to save up on mana before you get more than 1 wizzard. I also made the background look more like a tunnel. and i made the sound a little better... I would love to know what you think. This is my first REAL Atari 2600 game and I want to make it good. ***** There are still some bugs that need fixing. ***** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- rpg.bas.binrpg.bas Edited June 29, 2009 by bongomeno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byte Knight Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Hey all, I just stayed up through the night and morning making this game lol. It was origionally meant to be a fake 3d rpg ish game. that proved to be waaay too hard. What i made is a shooter with several rpg elements including: health, experience, mana, health potions,mana potions,goblins, demons... magic... you get the picture! =) it takes place in a 3d looking (the walls) tunnel. this game no doubt needs some work, but is currently playable. to play, press fire at the main screen then in the game: you are a wizzard running down a '3d' tunnel your 'health-bar' is represented by the ball at the top left of the screen your experience is the score you should shoot the goblins(green) and the demons(red) with magic as you pass by them if you have no mana then you cant use magic health potions (red) heal you a little mana potions (blue) give you some mana there are holes in the ground (black) that you should avoid if your health runs out, you die. =) ROM: SOURCE: Interesting concept - I'm impressed that you made this in only one night. I played for about 10 minutes and felt like I could go on forever... Probably needs to be a little harder. Also, you should look into using the playfield score bars or status bar for lives and health. You can still use the score with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongomeno Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 i would like to use the status bar for the health, but i cant figure out how to use it! lol I have a question......

yuppicide Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Also, if you want a good graphic editor that's free, get GiMP! I use it many times on a daily basis. It's almost as powerful as Adobe Photoshop which is about $700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongomeno Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 any ideas on what i can add to the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) EDIT: You're wondering why I have that screen shot attached here. I meant to edit my post earlier. I was thinking your game could be easily modified into an "Antarctic Adventure" like game. That is a screen shot of the NES game. It was similar to a racing game in which you moved around and avoided the holes in the ice, something that looks similar to what you have. You have to reach checkpoint before time runs out. You could grab flags, fish jumped out of holes. Anyway, have not been able to try any new games yet due to me repairing the computer I do all my stuff on, but I'll give it a go later. Looks nice and especially since you did it so fast. Edited July 5, 2009 by yuppicide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmountainslim Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I started playing it today. I like it especially the fact that you have to learn what to shoot and what not to shoot. Thats is better than havin only enemies come at you. A good start ya go here. Wp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Okay.. I finally got a chance to try it out. I like that different things come out on the screen. I'm not sure what they all are, but they look like enemies, holes in the ground, and I don't know what the round water balloon shaped things are that are blue and red. I don't like the fact that you basically go on forever. There's no way to die? So far I've gone through 51 points with no end of game. Why the need to pick up additional purple guys? They just disappear when they hit something anyway. My strategy is to just keep one guy. Makes it easier to avoid enemies. Does the game ever get any faster? it should.

bongomeno Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 most of this is explained in the 1st post. the 'balloons' are potions. red=health blue=mana. you can see your health by the dot at the top left. you have not died because you still have health you dont HAVE to get more wizzards (purple), but when you have more mana (the blue potions) they help because you get more shote. they also give you more health. this is more of an rpg game not a shooter. you will likely get like 200-300-500 points before you die... just look at the origional post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
