New DCRPG Work-In-Progress Screenshots !

[BlueCrab]

Well, there really isn't anything interesting to show at the moment, more than what's been shown in the three screenshots in the forum that was linked to in the first post.

Right now, the plan is that online mode will be 8-players per game, possibly more, if its technically possible.

In offline mode, for the time being anyway, its only one player. There is a possibility of a split-screen mode sometime in the future, but that's not for certain.

I RECENTLY HAD A SIT DOWN INTERVIEW WITH THE MAKER OF THIS GAME!


here it is, the interview Part I.

The Q&A

Q. Anymore pictures of game play?
A. no, not right now. when I have them, I'll post them.

Q. What language have you chosen?
A. C++

Q. this game will make use of the DC BBA and 56/33K?
A. initially it'll only support the bba and lan adapter. modem will come later, hopefully.

Q. are DC users gonna have to buy a new game then?
A. It will be free.

Q. Must they burn updated game disks though if on console?
A. Yes.

Q. Is there any code or binary that is public?
A. if you really want to see the code for it, there's a library that sits underneath it that I wrote that you can see the code of now. I haven't released any code or binaries yet.

Q. How many players?
A. Nine.

Q. Do you think the Dreamcast can handle this octuple load?
A. certainly, its just a case of how much work it'll be to manage the graphics. there's texture compression that can help out and all so, it shouldn't be that hard.

Q. Do you think in this pan-platform game the DC could lag behind?
A. right now, yes. right now, it supports Linux, Mac OS X, Windows and Dreamcast. eventually it'll support other thigns.

Thank you...

Gee, I was wondering who was asking me all those questions on AIM last night.

Anyway, its 8 players planned now, not nine.

Just a suggstion for the future, if you want to try to interview me for posting on a website, lemme know before hand. Then I can actually give you good, thought out answers, and not just the first thing that comes to mind.

edit: btw the latest news on http://dcrpg.ljsdcdev.net/ is FUBAR

you can't post new topic in the news forum, only staff can do that.

Anyway, DCRPG's online mode now works on the Dreamcast, with a BBA (HIT-0400). I'm currently looking into an issue that prevents the Lan Adapter (HIT-0300) from working, and I hope it isn't a major issue.

Anyway, that's all I've got for now.

--------------------------------

Crashing issues with the HIT-0300 lan adapter are no more. DCRPG now completely works online with the Dreamcast.

Now, onto more gameplay related stuff, I go.
