Harris6310 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 **Novum**Hello. I'm Harris. I have been a member of Eclipse for a long time. I have never been very popular and I have never really produced anything of any quality, but some of you may remember me. I am working on a small project to develop a new engine. I like the idea of Eclipse, a retro ORPG experience. Though, in my opinion, the current engines are too over-featured and messy.Therefore I am going to develop something very simple and very efficient. I will base my engine on Mirage Source 4\. Similar to what Robin did with Eclipse Origins. Though my main focus will be efficiency and optimisation. Then I will implement some advanced features that work on the fundamentals and not to much on the gameplay. Such as DirectX 8 graphics and database support. The goal of this project is to produce something that I can be proud of, not necasarily something people will use. I will release the source code so you can use it if you want. I will also update this topic with information on the development.The name 'Novum' seems to fit well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hisherwin Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 What's the different between this Engine with Eclipse Origins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkywardRiver Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 > What's the different between this Engine with Eclipse Origins?Looks like optimization and more functionality.Good luck to you mate, I hope to see this project finished.

Matt Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 So this will be in VB6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harris6310 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 > What's the different between this Engine with Eclipse Origins?Eclipse Origins is way more over-featured than what I want Novum to be. Novum will be more of a base engine which should be more customisable.> So this will be in VB6?Of course. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
