    • September Progress report


      Just noticed that september is half over, and thought somebody might want to restart this thread.

      As for me, "The Fall of Abodon" is right now being re-written due to some really nasty plot problems that I didn't notice. Maps are a little less then an eighth finished. My guess is... about 5%

      ------------------
      Whose cruel idea was it to put an 'S' in lisp?

    • Hi Blacklite. I'm currently awaiting the review of the first draft of script from several people, so I can begin draft two (as i doubt that draft one was mistake free). I've started creating a few graphics. I am currently looking at obtaining new artist, as my old one was unable to continue due to health reasons. I have started creating some maps, planing out sidequests, making notes on draft one of the script, deciding on how much voice work is to be done, beta tesing GrahamVH's Legends, and in my free time I work a full time job and if i'm lucky I even get to sleep 🙂

      I'm hoping that I will have some graphics to post somewhere soon, but that might be a problem as I have no webpage and the coldstone board does not host pictures (is this right?)

      Hopefully I will be on the ball enough to start October's thread in October, but if I'm not please feel free to start the thread.

    • Let's see. I'm still thinking about the basic plot of my possibly sci-fi action shooter game, not to mention the poker game, which is on halt due to problems with Coldstone. So I'd say I'm about .5% done with sci-fi action shooter game, and a hefty 10% done with poker.

      How about the (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number;=57&SUBMIT;=Go")Coldstone Image Gallery(/url)? 🙂

    • Still working on it, but very sporadically. I didn't do nearly the work I thought I'd do during the summer. Work got in the way. (Gotta pay the bills!) My maps are about half done. Been making animation graphics for NPCs and that's coming along well. I'm actually working with someone who's making some maps of mine while I give him graphics and am enjoying that very much. I'm seriously thinking about making my own houses and things found in the village folder so that it'll have a different look than POG. That'll set me back several months. Haven't made a final decision on that. I'll have a different hero, for sure, not because I don't like the hero in POG, but just to make him look different. I've figured out a lot of the global events, but will not focus on that until my graphics are finished. So my focus now is on graphics.

    • I said my sci-fi rpg called space would be ready by christmas. It is now looking more and more like summer/autumn 2004.
      Situation:RED is looking like a Spring/Summer release (in case you don't know what it is go to my website. I have screenshots and a story)

    • I'm also thinking about making a line of educational games to counter my...less educational games, and to help people much like MathBlaster and Number Crunchers did for me. I don't have any idea of how these will work, as I just thought of the idea last night after learning about Kit's ABC Adventure.

      How about the Coldstone Image Gallery? 🙂

      How about not?

    • Hmm. Sorry about that, I was under the misconception that a place was needed to display the pictures, not to host them. My bad. 🙂

      Anyway, Pedrith, there's a few places around like (url="http://"http://ww.geocities.com")Geocities(/url) that, although I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole (being a loyal, paying webspace owner ;)), do offer free webspace that could suit you. Check them out. 🙂

    • I am happy to say we have a name... Dark Tides: Renegade Heroes. If you have 8 seconds to kill you can look at our website:
      (url="http://"http://home.earthlink.net/~isthaq/darktides/news.html")http://home.earthlin...tides/news.html(/url)

      Admire my nearly functional rollovers but DON'T click on anything. I am still uploading our stuff. You can see our logo and marvel at the slick anime portrait of the heroes, but that is all.

      This is our sixth and final game idea. We wasted a lot of time in denial about what we thought we could do, and what we thought we could make CGE do. The good news on that is there are a few graphics that won't work with our current project that we hope to be able upload to the, uh, page where the stuff you can use is. You know. That page. Give me a week or so.

      We're going Old School now. I doubt anyone has heard of (or remembers) Faria on NES, but that would give you an idea. A little Dragon Warrior too.

      Darn. I was hoping GrahamVH would post on the progress of his beta testing...

    • nice site.

      As for anyone who wants pics putting up I would be glad to put them on the coldstone resource page (which like my games has taken longer than I origionally expected). Just go on it and email me with your screen shots.

    • My Midievil RPG Legends is currently being Beta tested and I expect it to be complete late October early November.

      The current version is v1.04 beta. So far the beta has been going very well and I have gotten a great deal of feedback from the testers. I can't list very many details about the game because they may change during the beta test. I would like to thank everyone that is currently beta testing Legends for being patient wih all the bugs and shortcomings to the beta.

    • nice site, but your directory's open,
      this is why most hosts require you to have an "index.html" so that i can't just hop into your main directory and download your entire site and tax your bandwidth...not that it will protect your site from this kind of activity...no this depends on your host...which happens to be M$ if i'm correct....but it does stop your casual unsavvy user from beating your bandwidth over the head repeatedly.

      Other than that again, very nice.

      My site? If so thanks. I host my own site which is sponsered by the Heunox corporation not M$. I don't really mind is a user "beats my bandwith over the head repeatedly". It has it's own seperate T1 connetion.

      If myshkyn's ya I agree it's a well made site. Good job myshkyn!
