Hi ,
Before I start presenting my (First Attempt) To create a game with
this fantastic Language , I have to make some introduction.
I am not use to introduse myself and I like to present something finished fist.
(But this will take a long tome and I can't wait)
I thing is very very Early for me to present something in
Work In Progress section of the forums , because , I am very newbie
in programming, "yet" and I don't have create a big Demo of my
(First Attempt for Game programming with DarkBASIC Professional).
I said First Attempt , because this will be my first official Presentation of my workings with DarkBASIC Professional.
Many people here have presented something in Work In Progress
, and I does not yet have present something.
I have present some screenshots in the forums and I have said about my projects.
There are 3 Projects in the (Lab) , hehe I say in the Lab , because I am under heavy construction and many of things , are in very early stages , because I don't know all great plugins yet.
There will be many things , that I will present here , and many of them , (if) they will be killer games , they will be sell in the markets.
But this case is in the very deep future.
Some of you will be my game testers. (But this will happened in the deep future again).
I am one year programmer with DarkBASIC Professional and Now , I
am at the beginning of the second year. (Now I start learning some more interesting things).
I use to programm very slowlly and I will take little long between versions (Because I want to make complete testing of my programms before release the next version) , and I am very selective when I create graphics.
I am not an artist. The only thing is I have very big patience when I want to create something , and this will be changed hundreds of times , because I don't like the last creation and I rechanged again , untill satisfy myself about that I have create , in this time.
You will see many things , during this Work in Progress presentation , many things you will like it , other things will dislike it.
I am open in every opinion about correction , improvement and bug fixing.
Things you will see , are not the finals. Everything you will see , will be dramatically or totally changed , or remains the same until the final version.
The progress speed will not very quick. So if someone will complain about the slowly progress, need to be patient , untill the next very good (For me) version.
(Here in Greece we say) (Good things takes longer to managed)
(To kalo argei na ginei). In greek latin Characters.
So!
I don't want to become boring with my words , so I will go at the
subject.
The first Attempt , (no matter if I have fail or don't like about you have saw) (There is no problem, none of you , will be judge about your opinion).
I am creating a futuristic game , you have saw some screenshots for this game , in artist chalenge , but in fact this is THE first attempt and is the official because this one was created with DarkBASIC Professional and with all its plugins.
Screenshots of the versions of the same Game you have saw (were created with c++ and allegro library which does not the part of DarkBASIC Professional).
So this is the original DarkBASIC Game Programming attempting for me (
). Thanx
This thread will be edited many times in the future and many progressive , versions will be posted. (With your opinions , your Ideas , because YOU will play this game and YOU must satisfied with this and YOU must like it ,because YOU are THE ORIGINAL GAMER).
In the first presentation , You will show the interface only.
You will see , how is the appearance of the game when you play with it.
I have posted complete source code of my game with complete graphics and media attached.
Some people does not purchased all plugins , as Enhancements
like , FILE BLOCKS , and some third party DLLS which , used and
needed to compile the game and make it run , that I have create so far.
So you are not able to See the first Demo. (No problem then.)
I have a precompiled version (The exe with media) and you can see the game without compiling.
In the normal zip , there are 2 other zip files.
One zip has all media and other one the source code (Note that ,for copyright reasons , I don't have included the additional libraries in the zip file.
And The second file includes only the precompiled EXE file with its Data zips.
Zips contains Game's media. These zips now are opened without code.
Final versions of zips will be locked. (This is one chalenge for you to unlock).
Allso final versions , when FILE BLOCKs will be changed and supports other kind of BLOCK Files , as .dat or .tak or .fut files , then zips does not be included as zips. (When game will be finished).
The story is very long , but I will say a very quick about the game.
You are an elite hacker in the future and you try to save the cyberspace.
ATTENSION:
This game will not ONLY a game (in fact will be a hacking encyclopaedia) in the limits of game.
This game will contains informations about hacking , ways to make hacking (in Game limits).
I am not a hacker and if you finish this game , will not gain a hacking degree.
But you will be rich in computing knowledge and many things about how one computer is working? , how one network is working? , what happened behind the scenes? , how a mathematic processor is making processing and you see the resaults on your monitor? , How computers communicate each other in very low level?
You will be more familiar , or you will see how a virtual reality is working. (If you have saw the movie Johnnie mnemonic(tm) ) you will be very familiar and if you see the Matrix(tm) you will be more familiar again).
You will gain many knowledge about , electronics , circuits, nomenclature about computers as flip flops , binary analyser , SMD electronic parts , boards , transistors , How logical gates are working , connectors routers etc... Many of you (allready know about that , from your University).
(This will be a very good FUTURISTIC , science fiction , Fantasy , virtual reality Adventure game. You will test your knowledge about operating systems , as UNIX and someone of you , that you will never installed and never saw how is a UNIX system , you will take , big tastes , how is the cyberspace and these operating systems).
How is working one UNIX system , how is working the internet and what happened if you make an error?.
This game its not only a puzzle game?
You will be an Elite hacker and you will be in very fast (in harry) , because cyber agents , are allways hunting you , you will be challenged to test your skills as haste , typing on the keyborard fast, in programming , solving ridles , moving your mouse fast and acting fast making wizdome decisions because , with a wrong decision , this interactive game story and events will be changed. And one wrong answer will be fatal for your game progress.
and through a very good atmospheric story you will see a very good (Cinematic film).
This game will not yet another game , will be a GOOD game and I guaranteed that, hundreds of hours of fun in front of your monitor.
(And if you have a laptop , your friends , they will thing that , you are a hacker and you have connected real in a bank from your laptop and now you are transfering real money in your account).
With this game you will make , very good devilments jokes to your friends).

Messenge----------------
My friends , don't worry about my progress delay. I don't have stopped my developer progress , simply , I have problems with my truespace (I am learning TrueSpace 6.6 and I don;t understand many things about this huge programm and I am working with Introduction video clip).
I am trying to create one satellite and I try to change one cube to a satellite shape.
If someone is upset about my very very slow progress , I am very sorry , be patience. I want to create a very good game.
When I finish something good , on my intro progress I will post the video clip , before I put it in the game.
