azkanan Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 **I had a dream…**So I woke up, thought about it for a couple of minutes, and figured it was possible. I set about making it, and "Project X" (Currently unnamed) is the byproduct of it.Project X will be a turn-based village management game. You will have to tell your home-made-customized people what to do and where to do it. You begin with an Adam-and-Eve situation. They are the first of their kind, and must forage and hunt in the beginning… and procreate.Over time, you will build up an Incestial village, if not town.All animals, plants, other tribes, metals, gems, coals and even the world map will be procedurally generated, giving you a different game experience every time you play.Whilst not even close to playable yet, I thought I'd showcase what I've accomplished in the last 30 hours or so [See Attachments].==============================Changelog 0.0.1- Customize World; Built- Customize Species; Built- Starting names; BuiltSemi-Working Interfaces:- Personal Details- OrdersPlaceholder Interfaces:- Fauna Encyclopedia- Flora Encyclopedia- Resource Encyclopedia- Area EncyclopediaWorking Features:- Time System- Day/Night System- Season System- Villager Aging System===================Thanks to Pedro, Stephan & Unnown for their valuable help. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myron Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 At first I read that you said a 'Adam-and-Steve situation' so I figured you had a very _special_ dream. But then I realized I was merely reading it wrong.But seriously, this looks interesting. But will this just be a 'game' where you'll see you're progress through reports or will there be anything you can see for yourself? This game sounds good to play when you're bored, have free time or just enjoy it (I'm experiencing the first atm) but reading just bunch of 'text' on how your world/city is fairing can become boring quite easily.

Medleyy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 @Azkabanana:> …"Project X" (Currently unnamed)...Project Aeri. How many times must I explain to people that by naming things after me will guarantee them entry into untold levels of awesomeness experienced only by those with the name Aeri. Although I have already made one person change their project name to Aeri Online…Verto Venatus is Latin for turn based game. Palma Incrementum is Latin for glory growth, which, now I think about it, sounds incredibly dirty, so I wouldn't use that. Mix a few Latin words up and see what falls out of the opposite end. Jesus, that sounded dirty too. I'll shut up now. Good work, BTW.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The driver looked at me funny.Visual is a possibility, but alot harder to put in. For now, I'll stick with Text with the possibility of graphics in the future.

Was working in the wall cavaties of a hospital), and when I read the "Glory Growth", my laugh of suprise came out more like a cracking noise. Was loud and funny.Otherwise, thanks. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medleyy Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Is this going to have a GUI and a visible gameplay section when finished? It looks good, but could be improved tenfold with some sort of visual-in-game section you can see and be proud of how epic you are.I just can't imagine people sticking to it without some sort of gratification for all the work they put in. It looks like it's going to be brilliant though. Just don't release your source because it'll take away the individuality when everyone starts to use it :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sealbreaker Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 maybe you could still use a VERY basic graphical representation in form of dots on a map which just has colors for every kind of representation (shitty use of pictureboxes maybe) - would still be better than none.-seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
