The Wasteland: Roleplaying game (Part II: No dice)
« on: August 16, 2016, 02:00:48 am »

You know, I feel bad for bashing Bethesda, considering how unbelievably difficult it is to actually make a game. Let alone a good one.

I have decided to try and make my own game in the vain of Dwarf Fortress, but set in post apocalyptia of course. This thread will show my victories, massive failures, and anything in between. I am making the game with Unity, which may be a bad choice, but I don't really care to much. I just wanna try and make something worthwhile.

This is gonna be difficult, but it'll be fun, hopefully :D

PART I: FALLOUT INSPIRATIONS

Stay tuned :D

PART I a: FALLOUT INSPIRATIONS

I've always fancied the idea of making my own game, especially a Fallout game, but of course I can't do that because legal reasons. But I can take inspiration from it.

And that's exactly what I'm doing. Except, I wanna try something a little different for it, I wanna try a life simulation of a post apocalypse. And of course make it part roguelike too. What I want to do for the first week of development is to make a basic random NPC generator, complete with a trait system. Will update the post when I make the first parts of it tonight.

PART II: NO DICE

I have decided to ditch Unity for this project, and picked up RPGMaker instead.

No random generation, I'm going for an old school cRPG style now, complete with authentic monochrome green :D

Here's the pics of what I've done so far: http://imgur.com/a/tNVKt

The color scheme may be pretty ugly to some people, but I like it for some reason. Maybe I've looked at the Pipboy in Fallout too much xD Ah well, no matter. Stay tuned for more :D
