I plan on making a new quest game. It will be a roleplaying game called Hellspawn. If anyone has a better name (I think it sounds good, but not for the kiddies. ), please tell me. It will not be NEARLY as big as the Sh4d0w Pr0j3ct (is that right?), but it will be a great test of my skills.

Any details? BTW, I've postponed my project for a while due to other coding projects. I'm rewriting the Dink Smallwood engine (http://www.rtsoft.com) as well as writing my novel Metamorphosis (The God Wars, Part I)

I work on it occasionally, however. I had two towns, about 10 weapons, 7-9 spells, etc. and the plot was coming along fine. That's the single-player, of course, since the multiplayer was totally thrown away until single-player was finished.

If you need any help, ask and we'll answer

I am going to base the skills somewhat like Fallout Tactics (http://www.interplay.com) with Hit Points, so on, but I would like to do some kind of math Hit Points=Strength + Endurance x 2 = HP. Is there a way to do math?

Okay, forget visiting the site and trying to find it. I'll explain it.

Hit Points(Obvious)

Armor Class(Defense)

Damage Resistance(Endurance x 2 or something. % takes that much off of damage, I think. Still not really familiar with it.)

and....

Critical Chance (Oh yeah.... % is chance of critcal. Causes double damage, I think. I know it does a good deal more, but not sure how MUCH more.)

Perks(Not sure.) I may include this, along with levels. Perks are (from the Fallout series) a certain boost that you gain every # levels and give you positive effects (stat increase, so on).

Levels Of course, if I do levels, I'll need an experience system.


So far, I only have for 2 weapons and only about 4 monsters, but with a helluva system (at least for a newbie. ).

I'm a 19 year old kiddie.

Who is that?
Is that ITID under a different disguise?

I don't do that sort of thing, my level of mockery is a bit more evolved.

Speaking of Sh4d0w Pr0j3ct, when will it be finished? I guess we won't see it until after the comp, correct? Is anyone going to make a multiplayer rpg with quest so we can get some ideas?

Evolved like a chimpansee?
Or evolved like a 10 year old girl throwing her dolls around in tantrums?

Hehehe.... ITID is so pwned by me - can't you see my new sig?

Anyway, ITID has some (rubbish) idea's for multi-player Quest games...

I'm still planning on releasing the SINGLE player for the comp, either this year or next. The multiplayer I will write in C++ instead of Quest in the style of a MUD. The single-player will be be a good game but nowhere near what the multiplayer will be. I may have to release the game next year.
I've got so many projects:

re-write Dink Smallwood
S1aY3R-N37 MUD client.
Sh4d0w Pr0j3kt
my series of novels (Metamorphosis: The God Wars I-VII)
Sh4d0w Pr0j3kt MUD

Why don't you just use GMud? http://www.desolation.org/download.php?op=viewdownload&cid=1 And if you'd like to, check out the site (has a game) that that is hosted by. http://www.desolation.org And don't ask me how to make games for it. I don't know. But it's up to you if you really want to try and make a MUD client. If not, that's one thing off the list.

2 more notes I need to say.


Note 1: I have decided to include an Author's Journal! Yaaay!

Note 2: I had to restart the game at least 3 times! Booooo!
