Tactical RPG Engine

[Sim]

I am starting a new Tactical RPG Engine which will be playable through web-browsers. If anyone is interested in helping visit www.tacticalrpgengine.com/forum Notice this project idea just came to me so nothing has been started yet. We will release the Tactical RPG Engine as FREE so anyone can download the script and put it on there website so people can start there own Tactical RPG Game.

I myself have been programming websites and doing php game modifications for over 10years now. Thats what I will be contributing to the project. I am really looking for someone with unique ideas, a good web-designer to create a template for the engine/game, an AI programmer so we can do single player games, and some artists so we can build a demo game off the engine to showcase.

Re: Tactical RPG Engine

You might get more interest if you could show something - a demo, screenshots/design images, design docs, ideas, whatever you've already got going. (Cuz your forum is kind of empty at the moment) :)

Re: Tactical RPG Engine

I am not a big fan of strategy games and tactical games, simply because you need to think of so many combinations and then somehow implement them in your game. It is harder than you think.

Well you should deffinetly make a plan as it will help you organise your project which will give a flow to what you will be programming and I suppose attract more people to this project, in this type of project you will need to be able to format your ideas in a systematic way thus a plan is needed. Have you prepared a rough draft of ideas for your engine, and what basic prinsiples the tactics will follow? If so try to arrange them in a sequence from the most important to the least important information... and ofcourse the thought behind it. I dont think anyone will look at this and be convinved without a plan I mean just as a builder uses a blueprint to ensure that a building will be structurally sound, you need a plan for yourself and for this project.

Any details about how it will operate? How will compete with the other engines? And do you anticipate any potential problems? All of your potential partners will want to understand as much as possible about how this engine will work before deciding whether to back it with their time.

Re: Tactical RPG Engine

Simple way to sumarize how gameplay will be is to show how it will be played so

single player: http://www.defenseonlinegames.com/node/301/play

Re: Tactical RPG Engine
