I find the artwork, model designs, and animation that I've seen so far to be exceptional, and frankly superior to what is in many multi-million dollar titles.

Obviously we're dealing with my creaky old memory from three years ago, but it was my understanding that DSB did not support 256 color DM2 graphics. Otherwise, it would definitely be easier to finish these graphics sets with cooperation from the author of a currently developed project.

Thanks

Simply put, I know of no other way of to test or use a complete DM/CSB replacement graphics set, than with RTC. This requires that I identify a comprehensive and accurate list of the graphics names used in RTC, which I thought I had accomplished by snooping around in RAM, but somewhere along the way...

Greetings, Is there a plan to release a level editor so that people can create custom dungeons? Alternatively, do you plan expansions/additional dungeons as DLC once the main game has been released? As far as an ice monster goes, I'll have to do some research into what has already been done, but fro...

Is this site being archived? Otherwise, can you tell me what the data size is?

(cough! cough!) I'm dusting off this project and taking another crack at the RTC graphics items list. I reinstated the old txt file that may be incomplete, but will hopefully be replacing it with an updated version if I can find omissions or errors.

Re-using graphics and content from a 20-year-old game without permission may be a crime in some jurisdictions, but it's a victimless crime. It harms nobody. Perhaps, but I think the point was that this was a guy that scolded others at the prospect of using graphics from a 20 year old game in non-pr...

Interplay's back! I'm sure they have their hands full with trying to get investors and develop some products based on the IPs they own, but they made a lot of good games so I expect they will succeed.

Since they published DMII, perhaps they'll take an interest in the DM property someday.

After seeing this trailer, regardless of the likelihood that it is an animation rather than a game engine demonstration, and regardless of whether the graphics are state of the art - if it were a real game, my friends and I would buy it in a second. I would even be willing to buy a game console just...

There you go... Piers Anthony's "Incarnations of Immortality" series would be great to see. "On a Pale Horse" has been knocked around for years as a potential film, but apparently never got out of development hell. The last discussion seems to indicate Disney had rights, then sol...

I'm familiar with the 1985 "Dungeon Master" film, but as I recall it is a horrible B-movie that (fortunately) has nothing to do with FTL's beloved Dungeon Master games.

Cheers!

Okay, maybe this is just a bit too obvious, but I would really like to see a "Dungeon Master" film. The Dungeons & Dragons films were very disappointing, and I can't think of any really well executed film that is just about a party exploring a dungeon.

Cheers!

I would suggest that the regulars here have probably completed it several if not many times while occasional visitors have probably completed it at least once. I think I've played through two or three times.

Happy Birthday!!!!! Woohoo!

Awesome Interface Design!

However, here's the thing. There's nothing special about a "bitmap," really. It's just data, 1's and 0's. When it's in your main RAM, it can be manipulated by the CPU just like any other chunk of memory. The problem being-- none of this is possible if the graphics are locked away in VRAM ...

I was crazy to make CSBwin. George was a bit crazy to make RTC. Sophia was a bit crazy to make DSB. Et cetera. In that case, let me say that I'm very grateful that each of you were crazy enough to devote so much time and energy into your projects, and that you shared your creations that give all of...

Since you specifically mentioned DSB, I'll chime in... :) Well thank you. I definitely want to hear from someone who know's what it takes to make the dungeon come to life. Most of the general points Gambit made apply to DSB, certainly. The game's mechanics are 2D and a shift to 3D would create some...

where is the benefit of the 3D engine? Things like lighting effects, animation, bump mapping, fog, water, particle effects, transparency, and selectable resolution. I don't think we'll ever see a bitmap based DM game with 1600x1200 native resolution, but that would definitely be possible with a 3D ...

Well I hope I didn't start a new tangent... What I was trying to do was respond to the original message, which suggested pushing a developer to make a modern DM style game. While this would be wonderful, I think it is highly unlikely since the gaming industry is currently infatuated with third perso...

Happy Birthday from Hawaii!

Alooooooha!

All aboard the off topic train! I think Rowling needs to be careful about the legal threats too, since Potter seems way too similar to someone else's book series and film, "The Worst Witch" written decades before: http://www.geocities.com/sayswamp/worst.htm An edited synopsis of the 1986 f...

Was this thread really started just a few days ago? This is a weird coincidence. Just now, I was just doing some random searching (too) and found a page about a game that was being developed called Dungeon Master 3D. The screenshots from DM3D looked nice, but I didn't see any indication it had ever ...

What about the independent PC games industry? A friend of mine writes and releases indie PC games, which are electronically distributed and definitely do not have even a 1 million dollar budget. There are a number of high quality games that come out of this industry, many that use 3D graphics engine...

Sworn off computer games? That sounds spouse related :> Perhaps you can share the work you've done on the dungeon, then serve as a "producer", and limit your involvement to sharing old or new ideas for the dungeon. Good ideas are never in overabundance. We hope you're still going to be abl...

It is unfortunate that sometimes the only solution many people have found to this kind of problem is to look for a nocd patch or patched executable. When the game publisher turns a blind eye once they have your money, what other choice is there? If one has to choose between throwing away $50 and usi...

Okay, here's a perfect example of copy protection ruining the customer experience. I just bought the driving game Grid. Of course, it will not run because the copy protection check fails. What's the point? The only thing that game publishers are achieving, is to discourage people from buying games. ...

It looks great to me. I would love to play this game

Greetings,

Do you have a link where we can look at the game? I expect there will be great interest!

Thanks!

I found that some items were missing from my list, probably due to some overzealous macro that I used to clean it up. I've taken the list down and will re-post it once I've fixed the problem.

Cheers!
