Anyone is free to modify the engine. It's pretty much mandatory to do so anyway when you make games with a generic engine.

:p

Lol, some parts are generic and some parts not.

If the engine has generic part, does it mean that they are inferior to Illusiat 1?

Anyway, I am curious if you got battle menus and the like thought out or if HBE being used is now official?

Apparently Eiyeron is going to rewrite it from scratch but he's aiming for a similar feature set so yeah.

Dream of Omnimaga · September 18, 2015, 09:00:31 PM

Ah I see. I wish him good luck. He should keep us updated in the HBE thread when he got what he already wrote rewritten

Well wrpg is pretty much a merge of HBE and Pokespire, starting from scratch (Pokespire didn't have much so we actually ported the existing code to C++).

Dream of Omnimaga · September 18, 2015, 09:07:22 PM

Oh. But isn't HBE for more platforms including the 83+?

Does it mean I should make a sub-forum for both HBE and WRPG instead of keeping HBE material in its own?

First it was in Axe then he rewrote it in C. Don't do anything for now, WRPG is still a separate project.

Dream of Omnimaga · September 18, 2015, 11:15:41 PM

Ok. Yeah I was wondering if he had ditched 84+ support. I know that it supports C but I heard it was very limited compared to other platforms.

This project is now indefinitely halted. Even though I'm still in touch with Eiyeron, we lost interest in it and we're moving on to new things.
This was our last calculator project, we're now aiming for less limited platforms to have a little more freedom and make programming fun again.
Sorry to disappoint anyone.

Why not Microcat? D:

An universal rpg engine for Microcat would be awesome! Anyway, if you are not the guys to do it, we can't force you

novenary · November 02, 2015, 05:33:24 PM

I actually have other things in the pipeline but for now it's a secret. I've started too many project threads without any going nowhere so now I'm not showing anything until I actually have something to show.

Dream of Omnimaga · November 02, 2015, 05:57:34 PM

Ah I see. Just don't do like people on ticalc.org who only announces their stuff once it's 100% complete. It's best to get some feedback and also publicity on forums prior release

novenary · November 02, 2015, 06:03:07 PM

Yeah of course. But I'm waiting until I have something semi-decent to show (ie not just a tilemapper).
