Dungeon Master Forum

Hi all Dungeon Master fans!

After finishing this amasing game for so many times I started to have a dream. I wish to create something as good as was this game. After several attempts I failed. I try it again and failed again. Now, I think, my life give me an opportunity to create this game.

Features:
- 2D environment (RTC dimensions)
- Cowsmanauts tile sets
- One dungeon can u use n tilesets
- Based on condition and effects
- Highly configurable
- Almost nothing hardcoded
- Opensourced (as soon as initial code will be almost completed(too many changes in code cannot work with many members))
- Any object can be linked to another object.
- Animated objects(Walls, floor items, wall items, items, ...)

Technology:
- XNA for display
- C# for logic
- Windows as platform

Credits:
Programming
- Mystic_Unicorn (Martin Drška)

Graphics
- David Gervais (http://pousse.rapiere.free.fr/tome/index.htm)
- Francois Munos
- Cowsmanaut

Nice to see the project still continues!

Still. But i changed programming language so there is a delay. from delphi to C++.
The game will be in opengl but with all nostalgia features, like square walking.....and with opengl there will be more possibilities for effects.....teleports, spells,.....

I create the game I want to play.

if you havent seen the website yet i urge you to go

Also feel free to add me to your MSN / ICQ / AOL messangers

You can add me too i u feel free for some good ideas. Why so many people create so many clones? Lets make one and realy good!

Because different people have different ideas about what is good. And if we would stick to the one-clone-philosophy, shouldn't you join CSBWin or RTC instead of creating Deep Cave? But even if there was that much of agreement and team work, you wouldn't do so, I suppose, because you probably invested a lot of work and time and ideas into Deep Cave, else it wouldn't exist, right?

So although I like RTC most, I'm glad that there are several people making their ideas come true.

Balance is the ultimate good!

you're right

It's an everlasting discussion. Although one clone might be much more powerful than 10 or 20, each has it's own style, quirks and surprises, not to mention fans and opponents.

I'm favoring RTC and CSBwin personally, but that's just my taste. Keep up the multifold styles - chaos rules

woohoo to terry pratchett quotes : )

at this adress: http://deepcave.wz.cz/download/EngineTest.rar u can download engine test.
Please tell me your problems or your FPS or anything interesting.
There are some controls:

<F1> FULLSCREEN
<F2> WIREFRAME
<F3> SemiTransparent walls
<F4> Lights on/off
<Arrows> movement

it is important to wait one or two sec after execution. Do not move at this time. u can create your own maps very easily. Edit default.txt in convertor directory and launch MapConvertor.Exe. U must remember that Wall=any leter; space=' ' <= <SPACE>.

Next deep cave engine update, square walking )

The actual URL is http://deepcave.wz.cz/download/DeepCave.rar The old one doesn't exist...

aaa sorry, gambit's right. Thank you

Finally movement is done! u can move with WSAD,QE as same as with arrows.....enginetest updated???

Ummm... came here looking for the Delphi project bu I just found out it is yet another C++ DM clone, which there are already plenty of good ones...

Pitty, Delphi + GLScene is my area...

GL

Ian send me your email if u want that delphi code.....it is not a problem for me....ill zip it and tell u what size it have.

Deepcave is dead i forgot to backup my files and there was a accident (((((( all codes are gone.

That's terrible. Did anyone else have the source code, was there a download for it?

Regards, PitD

That sounds really awful. Is really everything gone? Isn't there anyone else who did some work for deep cave who might still have important code? How much hours of work did you loose, and what kind of accident did destroy that work?

After reading this I immediately went out and bought a flash drive so I can have off-site backups. I think I'd go insane if I lost 18 months of work. Maybe that's why we've not heard anything else from Mystic Unicorn.

I like the "floating" dog head as a picture... despite my usual animosity towards dogs.

Regards, PitD

It's my puppy. Called Holly. From Red Dwarf. Hence the floating head.

DeepCave id not so dead as it appears few months ago. I started to work again. Maybe sometime in futuru u will see release . I creating a game, which i want to play.

P.S. Congr. to dungeon maker release.!

Thanks hehe, i would like to see more of deep cave, and message me always if you need me to do anything lol, like helping .

Do you also think the website needs a lil update? i could probably help you with that still.

i do not have much time for web updates, im working on dc code.

Wow, are you going back and ressurected it? I thought it was dead - good to see it back in the land of the living!

Haven't logged in so don't know the state of play - if you are, then I can sticky this post or a new one with the link and news

Thank u for your quick answer. Im working on web right now so there can be some issues, but it will be good. Most important is game.

I started again. Codes are gone but my mind and desire to create clone such like Dungeon master is realy great. )

Ok, web is now online and ill use that web for me as well as for u

Nice to see the project is not dead.
In which language is it coded?
