So, it's really funded. Using the Unreal engine, if i'm not mistaken. Well... let's expect the worst and hope for the best. Caution, advertisment incoming: Silversword (sorry, iOS only) is still the nearest approach to Bard's Tale (classic), and if you ask, I will throw some promo codes. The game wi...

After a long time...

...well, for me it wasn't a long time, because I am still spending most of my spare time developing the game. This is no dead horse thread I want to re-animate, but this is a review of how things have changed in the last 18 months... the result is here: http://silversword-rpg.com/ I hadn't much luck...

Some trivia... Years after the demon war had ravaged through Theria, leaving nothing but despair and ruins, the black ash of destruction ceases to rain. The Guardians of Virtue dismissed their allied dragons, sending them into everlasting sleep again in their deep caves near the center of the planet...

Yes, that's the biggest problem.

But I have found a professional artist that will do some of the work.
I am sure that the whole product will fit one style in the end :D

And if not... well... just start Bard's Tale again (for comparison) and everything is fine *kidding*

Hello friends,

it seems that finding an artist is the hardest part.
Sorry to say that the demo has a delay.

But for another tease, here is a video that could please...

Any thoughts about making the game mod-able, similar to Devil Whiskey? Not really. But as you speak of it... I do implement some kind of script engine at the moment, to help me define the maps. The Bards Tale Construction Set is my guide for this. it works like: 010:OUTPUT|A magic force draws you n...

Passion

I plan on releasing a first teaser demo for free in about 3-4 weeks. I hope the game will be finished at the end of the year. Sounds like a fairly long time, but there is much work to do and once the beta testers are involved... the real hard work starts :-P As for myself, I am a project manager in ...

Hard is relative

Hello Growler, thank you very much! Well... surprisingly all programming goes pretty well. At times, I stumble upon a problem when I want to insert a new feature - then I realize that the concept I used in the related part of the program is weak and I have to refactor some code. But at the moment I ...

Still much to do

Thank you very much for your anticipation. Actually, it is written in Objective C, a C++ derived language to suit Apples iOS needs. I have no knowledge of portability yet - aiming for a finished product first... then porting ;-) I have started to search in different networks now, and hopefully I wil...

CRPG on iPad / iPhone... do-it-yourself is exhausting

There ain't no good news for Bards Tale Fans who are using an apple device. I am still looking for a long lasting fun CRPG... so in all my desperation... here are the results of my efforts in coding my own one so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mU5SUq_Mj0 The biggest problem isn't the programmi...

Same here

Anybody out there who solved the crashing issue on his/her own?
I am testing on a DELL Inspiron 9300 Notebook by now, and there ain't much hope on using older graphic drivers for me... any clue would be very appreciated.

Thanks
