Title: Text Based RPG in C# Post by: Kevin on April 09, 2006, 02:23:43 PM
I'm switching roles at work pretty soon and may be learning some C#. I'm one of those people that has to work on something in order to learn. I can't just make junk programs; I usually need a project to work on. So in order to help me learn the in's and out's of C# I'm going to start working on a text based RPG. Right now I'm setting up the basic classes, but I need some story ideas. Any suggestions?

ok what time/frame age are you writing? if i know that i can better help you....

I want to stay away from medieval, it's a little cliche these days. My first thoughts are the 1920s gangster style or slightly futurist (without space travel).

ok how about this: your little you watch your family murderd, the mob offers you protection, you grow up and start o work your way to the top, you have various quests, battle could be you against fbi people or cops, you can buy diffent guns with differnt traits and get skills to help you in battle. thats about all i can think of at such a short time.

That's pretty good. Maybe the same story except ninjas could work too.

lol :lol: that would be cool or how about monkeys!
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: Kevin on April 09, 2006, 02:45:10 PM
I'll definately find a way to throw a monkey in the story somewhere.

you must let me play this game when your done!
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: Kevin on April 09, 2006, 02:49:39 PM
The full source and executable will be here for everyone for each step on the way.
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: sparks on April 10, 2006, 12:07:36 PM
so its a .exe ? if so i have always wanted to make programs that can run on windows....
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: Kevin on April 10, 2006, 01:20:13 PM
Yeah it'll be an .exe. The first version will be console based, then if people keep asking for more, I'll add some UI, then maybe some 2D, then in like 5 years it'll be full blown 3D.

dam i need to learn this language! i shall start next week!
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: Kevin on April 10, 2006, 02:14:36 PM
I was going to program a few 2D games in VB.NET cause I found this book called "Learn VB.NET Through Game Programming." It had it's good and bad parts, but seemed pretty nice. But now that I need C# for work, I thought this would be a fun way to force me to work. I still want to learn some more C++ since it's "the game programming language".
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: sparks on April 10, 2006, 02:53:27 PM
ok
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: Kevin on April 11, 2006, 11:29:07 AM
So I started on the design document for the ninja game last night. Inspiration for the game is coming from Naruto, Ong-Bak, and my favorite Sega Genesis game, Shadow Run. I'm still making way on the story, but I have a lot of game play ideas. One thing I need to careful of for this first run is scope creep. After the design document is done, I'll get started on the first of the program and release them together as a project article.

cool gratz on rank :P
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: Kevin on April 13, 2006, 12:56:36 PM
What should I name the game?
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: sparks on April 13, 2006, 12:59:20 PM
kiss of the dragon crouching tiger hidden dragon.. o crap those are already taken... idk i cant think of anthing... Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: Kevin on April 13, 2006, 01:12:02 PM
"Real Ultimate Power", or for the Sifl and Ollie fans, "Ninja Of The Night".
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: sparks on April 13, 2006, 01:13:36 PM
i like night of ninja
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: CaptainVirtuous on April 15, 2006, 02:50:06 PM
That's awesome that you are creating a ninja RPG. I can't believe you didn't tell me...I play more video games than anyone you know. If you want, show me what you have so far and I can try to give you some ideas. I've been pretty bored lately so I can offer to help when the woman and work aren't taking up my time. Maybe I will even learn some programming and stay interested since it involves a game and ninjas.
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: Kevin on April 17, 2006, 12:19:19 PM
Ok, I sent what I have for the design document over your way. The first article I create might be just on the design since it's turning out to be a pretty complicated task in itself. I will hopefully have the first couple of articles ready in 2 or 3 weeks.

If you're looking to get into graphics for C#, SDL.NET (http://cs-sdl.sourceforge.net/index.php/Main_Page) is a great place to start. It's essentially a managed wrapper for SDL.
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: Kevin on April 18, 2006, 04:52:08 PM
SDL.NET looks pretty cool. Right now I'm sticking to the text based, but if all goes well I'll start adding some graphics and sound. How much OpenGL do you need to know.
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: Nathan on April 18, 2006, 04:58:38 PM
For SDL.NET, you don't need to know any OpenGL unless you want to get fancy. If you're familiar with the drawing primitives that Microsoft's GDI+ provides, you can execute statements similar to that without knowing anything about rendering.

Sweet man. Now I know what version 2.0 is going to look like.
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: sparks on April 21, 2006, 06:14:59 AM
so how is the game going?
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: Kevin on April 21, 2006, 10:51:34 AM
This week has been crazy. I need to get back to work. All I did this week was figure out some object access issues that I had with inheritance. Something tells me work is going to be slow today, so I might sneak in a little programming fun.
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: Kevin on May 09, 2006, 01:16:02 PM
The project plan and town navigation are almost done. I'm going to get a little further and then start writing the tutorials. You should see the first of them this month.
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: sparks on May 09, 2006, 03:35:17 PM
hehe im already making 3d games with c++
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: Kevin on May 09, 2006, 05:02:40 PM
Sweet man. What's the storyline?

also we have a imagin-team.info that i got go to imagin-team.info/forum to chat with us!
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: Kevin on May 10, 2006, 11:08:35 AM
That's pretty impressive. I would help, but it's a bit too advanced for my limited C++ knowledge. If you want, post the project under the User Created or User Announcements section of forum and keep us up to date.
Title: Text Bases RPG in C# Post by: Kevin on May 11, 2006, 05:25:32 PM
So I starting working on the players, monsters, and battle system today. The programming is going really smoothly, but I'm starting to realize I didn't play enough D&D as a kid. I don't know how strength relates to damage or how die rolls come into play. Research time.
Title: Text Based RPG in C# Post by: sparks on May 17, 2006, 06:28:13 AM
ok
