Any news/update about Ultimate RPG v2.0? I'm found of your sprites, and Star Quest was so great... so, well, i really want to see another game from you^^ sorry for the misspelling errors, I'm a clumsy frenchie!
Thanks! I'm glad someone liked Star Quest, not many seemed to enjoy it or even play it at all. Maybe it'll be a cult classic one day? A little-known PC gem? I'm fine with that.
Ultimate RPG has been a history of problems. The files got corrupted after I rebuilt the damn thing, so I'm not exactly sure what to do with it. I've considered switching engines many times, and would still like to do so. That'd be the only way to get a truly Ultima-style experience. That said, in the time it would take me to code an engine from scratch I could build 100 villages with OHRRPGCE, which means I'll probably stick with it as it has all the tools needed to make a JRPG and can easily be adapted for a more WRPG dungeon-crawl experience.
Coding the game from scratch, however, would let me do randomly-generated maps, but that's a long and dangerous road, and possibly another project entirely.
Also, I'm in the last few months of Ph.D. exams, and once those are finished (March) I should be able to give URPG the attention it needs.
Very looking forward to URPG....I also loved Star Quest and still play it! Still looking forward to (hopefully) the Resurrection and Rebirth of Skeletronic! :-)
awesome, and dreamy all at the same time
