new game

here's my prototype of the new Ascii Wilderness.   thinking about doing biomes.  It's 2d and not the old code very much.

Awhile ago I said I was prototyping a new Ascii WIlderness without Z levels.

I'm working on it now and I've got a better plan of how this project is going to go

instead of it turning into barely readable code.

I've got a 2d map up and running with basic crafting and tree cutting complete.  You can list your materials, equip a weapon or tool.  It's pretty early.

But im having a ton of fun so it looks like I'll be working on this more over the winter.

Au revois

Check out my new fiction story, Apocalyptica Mortalis.

prototype

rewriting my code.

I got a simple map up and running (2D, thank the gods)

its really small but it has some basics

you can build a firepit, a fence, or a wall by pressing "b"

the wall is impassable by the c haracter.

the firepit, you can stand over and press "a" to activate the fire.

if you stand over an activated firepit and press "c" you will cook 1 unit of rawmeat.

I've got this crazy idea like I can program a roguelike that doesnt use inventory..

i HATE inventory.. I love fallout 3 but what kills it is inventory management..

games are about having fun not managing items and scumming the traders.

no traderes.. no saves.. no inventory.

so far "rawmeat" is an internal value and so is "cooked meat"

not sure exactly where im going with this but i thought the community might like a look.

here's the address of the prototype:

programming

i had afew minutes today

so I abandoned this project

and started a clone of it.

it's just afew hundred lines

the orignial "ascii wilderness" had gotten so overgrown with old code

I didnt know what was what anymore

so Im trying to write something simple

and keep it real simple.

fallout 3 fan fiction

I wrote some fan fiction for fallout 3

it may not be anything brilliant

episode 1 is on facebook under "The Wastelander's Apocalypse"

episode 2 is mostly online now at:
http://russellswasteland.blogspot.com/

Ive got about 10 more episodes (like 8 filled notebooks) to post that I handwrote. so when i feel like transcribing it ill get it online.

hope you enjoy.

Working on some fallout 3 mods. on the fallout nexus you can find my mod look for "GOWMK"

its a weapon kit system expansion.

im having a lot of fun now with fallout 3,

still have the roguelike in my mind and i know i could write it in 7 days.

Just taking it easy and working on different projects.

The roguelike will happen.

The roguelike will happen.

I just have to get my fill of FPS and then... ROGUELIKE!!!

or maybe FALLOUT REVAMPED - Survival crafting zombie apoc wilderness survival..

with procedural landscapes?????? i know nothing about those but guess what all the fallout 3 assets are there we just need a system for peicing them together in a coherent way.

I played skyrim, borderlands 2, and NV...

RETURN TO FALLOUT 3!

I'm playing with FWE + MWK + EVE + Xephas dynamic weather + dynamic crosshairs

and all kinds of other mods..  vanilla Fallout 3 SUCKS. modded = AWESOME
