kirottu Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Is there some sort of rule where indie rpg developers go turn-based and mainstream rpg developers go realtime? Or is it just me?

Meshugger Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Eventhough the odds are against them, i do hope that they will achieve something worth playing.

PastramiX Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 It's great to see that Mitsoda and Carlson have finally merged into one entity, a FEV-enhanced grizzly. Hopefully we'll get some bizarre, fantastic characters and dialogue a la VtM:B, coupled with a powergaming tour de force like in SoZ. I wish for more of Jeanette's "kitten" talk.

cronicler Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Kirottu: Basically it is easier to program AI for TB. No sorrt scratch that, It is easier to make mistakes when you are programming an AI for Real time. They both use the same principles but in turn based system you can use the whole enemy turn to calculate movement for the whole enemy force (thus giving the illusion of Cover/Flanking etc) while in RTS you only have 1/x amount of time to do it and you have to do it individually and hope that your overall ai does act coherently. So in a way TBS is a bit easier to create a better quality product with less (not really the best word but i hope you uncan understand my meaning) effort. IG. We kick ass and not even take names.

Jaesun Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 IIRC a few people at Obsidian are on 6 month to 1 year contracts, the rest are permanent. Some of my Youtube Classic Roland MT-32 Video Game Music videos | My Music | My Photography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgoth Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) IIRC a few people at Obsidian are on 6 month to 1 year contracts, the rest are permanent. But certainly Brian wasn't a contractor. But if it is his volition to form his own company and do some hardcore games, he's certainly welcome. Btw how's that ex-Troika team making "Dropship" doing? I heard they use Source engine and turn-based combat. I want that. Edited August 5, 2009 by Morgoth Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niten_Ryu Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 They must hate money Well, there's nice profit to be made in DS and iPhone turnbased games. Good for skeleton crews anyway as development costs are dirt cheap and you only need to sell relatively low number of copies. It's like c64 days all over again.

Morgoth Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 It's sad if the DS and iPhone are the only viable platforms for TB games to develop for.

H Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 It's a game about little dudes who chop up other little dudes in a very hetero turn-based fashion. It's sprite-based, and it's on PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
