Development Info 3069 & Triangle Wizard Sell Out to the Man

Tags: 3069

It was bound to happen. Sci-fi indie rougelike <b><a href="http://sites.google.com/site/free3069/features-1" target="blank">3069</a></b> finally fell for the high tech glitz and glamour of a 3D engine and had a full graphics overhaul done with Ogre3D. Just <a href="http://sites.google.com/site/free3069/Story" target="blank">have a look</a> for yourself. Up next: walking animations and doing blow with Chloe Sevigny.
<br>
<br>
While not quite as trendy as 3069, <b><a href="http://trianglewizard.webs.com/index.htm" target="blank">Triangle Wizard</a></b> is getting there with the newly released R 7.01.
<br>
<blockquote>This version includes quests (randomly generated), healthbars, buffs for the sorcerer and assassin classes and a few other things. Also fixed was a bug (identified by Khashishi, thx) that could crash the game in certain conditions.</blockquote>
<br>
As always, blame getter77.

 

if 3d && roguelike then interest--

 

I have no idea what are you talking about

 

Re: 3069 & Triangle Wizard Sell Out to the Man

One of these is a fantastic and highly-anticipated feature. The other will just slow down gameplay and frustrate me in my lusty, coke-ed state.

 

Thanks for the front page, Jason

Walking animations is something I'd love to have, but it is unlikely to happen :-\ I'm working on this game alone on my spare time, and it took quite a bit of work to convert it to 3D as-is. I'm using free models, most which don't have animations.

Anyway, I hope some of you guys enjoy it! Thanks for trying it out.

 

Something about the spareness of the environments, mixed with the pre-textured models...perhaps taking me back to some of the Doom full conversions I loved. Tugging on my nostalgia gland, big-time. I'm getting it.

 

Um, if I may ask, why is this not open-source?

 

Freeware police, freeze motherfuckers!

 

I have the source up for v2.8.2 (2D version); I just need to package the latest 3D version up and post it. I'll get the source posted by tomorrow.

 

well, uh, it's a step up from ascii.

that's about it.

 

Wtf

Jaime Lannister your name is a step up from "I am a total fucking moron who cant think of my own name so need to steal one from very popular fiction of a major character and prove to the world what a total fucking unoriganal fuckknob I am-and whats more I make fun of people who work hard on games while I cant spend 2 minutes coming up with an original thought"

 

Re: Wtf

Well that came completely out of nowhere.

 

Have you got a rough roadmap in your head for 3069 to meander along from here on out phr00t? I was definitely surprised when I saw this latest "superhero" update, so color me curious.

 

Re: Wtf

lol we need more edgy newbies like you, keep posting!

 

Re: Wtf

Phr00t's alt? If so, congrats and welcome.

 

Re: Wtf

:shock:

Does this win codex's "best first post evar" award! (assuming it's not an alt)

 

lol @ creating an alt just to flame someone

pussy

 

I'd like to implement networking (e.g. play with other 3069 players in real-time), but it is quite the task to get right -- no other plans, for now. I added the "superhero" stuff because 3069 is based on an earlier HeroSim project that allowed you to create "heros" and have them battle each other. I believe it adds a bit of replay value

Not an alt of mine. I thank him for coming to my defense (rather bluntly, I must add), but I also respect other people's opinions (whether they are good or bad) of my game.

 

Wow a joke about being origional. Yeah! How origional......zzzzzzzzzzzzz boring banal shit.

 

I have released the source code and project file for 3069:

Sweet! Keep up the good work!

 

Damn that triangle wizard looks good.

 

Thanks for the info phr00t.

Triangle Wizard has really advanced quite a good bit since it last showed up in discussion around here, gigantic changelog between all the little and not so little versions up to now. To date, it remains the only ASCII'ish game I've ever been able to wrap my head around and enjoy---some combination of the Vector style and a "K" actually galloping towards me trying to smash me to death on a spike wall does the trick I reckon.
