Hi Sophia;
Happy to switch to DSB, and i have some LUA experience too.
But what about all the dungeons already done for RTC? can they be converted to DSB format?

Really want an automap to play all these awesome RTC dungeons.

I have some free time, and I have coding experience, and would like to implement the automap system for RTC. (like you press Tab key and you get your automap progress)
Is it possible to contact the author for source code and ...

I just had to ask about it;

I liked "Escape from Order's Prison" and would enjoy it more if it had an automap, I gave up playing when the levels becomes complex, an automap would greatly help me and maybe others sticking to the game and finishing it.

Don't tell me you like to draw your dungeon as ...

@glecko
There are thousands of games, but only a handfull that are Addictive, Immersive and Compelling.
First, there is the best game ever, it's Ultima Underworld. If you never played it, then you know what to do :)
I used to play a lot of games in the end 80's throught mid 90's, then the games i ...

I know you're trying to help the community
Yes, because, i think, there are still a lot of players that want to play games like DM, EOB, and Lands of lore.
If an individual feels that strongly about getting donations for their dungeon, they can set up their own page for it and ask there.
If they ...

Seeing that this is not a rejected evil proposition, I tried to sketch up a model for the dugeon info page, where one can see custom dungeons, download and donate if he wishes.
Something in the spirit of steam would be exellent.

I agree with Rasmus, i would also give money to Dungeon authors and creators.
The donation box is a good idea.
There also an important thing, the dugeon authors must provide an official manual (in PDF or similar, containing story, hints, and most importantly a walktrought with maps)

Don't get me wrong, i am not advocating commercial software vs free soft like Win/Linux type of things.
I just see that over the years, a lot of free games made by communities, either takes years to accomplish (around 8 years is common), or are done but the quality and finish touches are not good ...

sadly, i am poor man, wish i had $75000, i would donate it eventually (lies)
But i can contribute around $5 or $10 for a good dungeon, and if say 200 people buy Zyx's dungeon then he would pocket $2000 which is not a lot, but better than nothing.

I see the implications thx;
Let it be a competition with prizes then, something like a yearly competition with 5 dungeons winning.
Some retro machines have their gaming competition, where the winning teams gets money prizes and the games are distributed for free.
Example (msx games competition ...

Playing it now with 0.24 and ok for now;
Even with 0.49 i hadn't had a bug problem, because i was stuck not solving a puzzle; (which i did solve now)
Incredible how i prefer playing DM than a lot of new games. Very addictive.
Also, after testing a lot of custom dungeons, i liked Reactor a lot ...

Taking this opportunity, i would like to suggest one thing; Could the community here, create dungeons, and sell them for a price?, that is, i am willing to pay for good dungeons (with either RTC or DM pc version). This way, we all could have quality DM games.

Thx beowuuf for the prompt reply
i'll try this version, and report back.

so nowhere where to get this version?

Thx, but the link is 404
http://chaos.zpc.cz/rtc/RTC_V023.zip (this is what i used)

help!
I tried a lot of custom dungeons, and this one i like the most.
But, it seems i am stuck, i am on the 2 or 3rd level, and don't know what to do;
Is there a full solution to this dungeon?, or if someone can help me, i am stuck on at the very begginng, in a place where there is an inscription ...

I just succeded at snapping some pictures of the game running. Your impressions are highly appreciated :)

It's a 3 episodes game like dungeon master, seems good at first glance;
Did anyone played this game? i would like to know if it is real time or turn based;
http://www.mobygames.com/game/infernal-tome

The reason i wanted to play EOB1 was because i liked EOB2 back in the day,
Thx to the automap, i reached level 9 and decided not to continue playing the game for several reasons:
- EOB1 is inferior to EOB2
- Level design not as catchy as EOB2 or DM
- When on level 8 i dropped throught a pit to level ...

http://www.polycode.dk/archives/Unlzx/Unlzx.zip download this program, and use it to unzip the lzx file into "winuae\games" directory
then find and download this file "Worbench v3.1 rev 40.42 (1994)(Commodore)(M10)(Disk 2 of 6)(Workbench)[!].adf"
It's disk 2, not 1 remember
select a configuration ...

The colours are better (they in 256 colours, in fact they are the pc version images).
The good thing that prompted to play this one is the nice automap it has; (never played EOB1 at the time, tried to played recently, but without the automap, i couldn't find force to complete it)
So with the automap ...

Just tried it in Winuae, using the lzx version one linked here;
(tell me if you don't know how to setup this working)
I played a little (one hour), and entered the first dungeon;
The game seems VERY good, very polished, and worths playing (it's like lands of lore)
To quickly enter the dungeon, go ...

Just downloaded this "remake", the great thing is that it has an automap; now i can play this game finally
here : http://hobring.esero.net/games.htm
scroll down to eob 1 aga.

go down this page, this seems one of the only 2? lzx decompressors
http://www.polycode.dk/

Tried the game with english translation, graphics are good, and feels very polished, but the combat is not in real time...it's turn based.

Hello All;
A year ago, we developped a 3D game engine, and we used it to build a game that is heavily influenced by Dungeon Master and Ultima underworld/Ascension, my favorite games;
Due to lack of money and the sheer amount of work we had to do make it into a complete game, we couldn't continue ...

Looks really good, but i don't understand czech unfortunately;

Hi everyone;
I just found many games like dungeon master for PC and Atari ST; they are from a German game shareware company;
Find them here http://www.motelsoft.de
Do anyone know more about this company and those games?
Seeing the pictures, i've never saw games like dungeon master like those on ...
