I am currently working on a Perlin Noise heightmap/texture generator. Right now I am about ready to throw my computer out the window, goodnight all....

I have just started a 3d engine for a race game, (commercial first game) and hope''s that that will go good

With kind regards,

Have you played Sanitarium? That's one of my favorite adventuregames and it has an interesting take on portraying madness in the viewpoint character - you play through fantasy/science fiction/horror worlds that are the main character's twisted interpretation of reality, with occasional lucid moments so you can see what effect your delusional actions have had on the real world. A bit different from the FF7 technique of having Cloud fragment into lots of selves in different memory locations.

thx... ill try to get my hands on a copy of this game... hopefully my local videoteque owns it
concerning ff7... hm... the mako-delirium is more a sight into the characters mind. In my story i want to base the fading realities on the fact that so called 'reallity' is based on the input one gets. (this creates some funny conclusion: to mention only one: ask some1 to prove the existance of his mind to you )
(btw:splitting up the main character seems to be a good idea
i might do this... or just let him meet himself)

Suicide is a challenge - how could you convince the player to choose for the character to die? It's against all the player's instincts, especially if it's happening after several dozen hours of gameplay instead of right at the beginning.

hehe... i have several dozenz of hours to get the player accepting the suicide. like in every FF game the ending is sad becouse one gets emotionally involved with the characters(extept in FFX IMHO... but thats another story and shall be telled somewhen else). or look at EVA... seeing end of evangelion if know having seen the series one would just be confused... not sad, etc. (misato's death is one of the best scenes :,()

btw: 'die leiden des jungen werther' von 'goethe' makes suicide look very possible and it also made some poeple commit suicide... not my intention though

Also, have you considered that if you have the main character commit suicide you'll probably have to put a parental advisiory on the game?

counter question:
dyou think I as a single person will ever release a game in public? it will be more an undergound-game and its not intended to be super mario anyways... more like silent hill(at least in some passages)

I''m working on the concept of a game which basically is based on the idea of taoism, but with many other religious factors added in. It isn''t a religious game by any means, but it does propose many controversial ideas.

Have you read the _Tao of Pooh_ and the _Te of Piglet_? These are cute and widely-available, and might make good refrence material for your project. _Heaven and Earth_ is a neat old buddhist-themed puzzle game that ran on DOS 6. I''ve seen a couple newer eastern-philosophy themed adventure games, but for some reason they were all annoyingly difficult to play.

Just a little observation I thought was interesting:

I wanted to see how much progress I''ve been making on outlining my graphic novel, so I did some math, and this is what I came up with.

I have written the first draft of the first 7 chapters. The outline of these chapters takes up 17 pages @ 450 words/page. When converted into drawings these chapters should be an average of 16 pages long, for a total of 109 pages so far. I think it''s pretty amazing that 17 pages can expand to fill 109. Makes me curious how the numbers will change as the outline gets converted into a comic script. I think it''s also interesting how 17 pages of outline is much harder to write than 17 pages of fiction, but much easier to write than 17 pages of research paper.

Haven''t read either of those. Most of the stuff I got came from online reference. I think I may have played that puzzle game you were talking about though.

The game itself is supposed to be an action/adventure/RPG mix, but the religious ideas are somewhat skewed, which is explained in the game to help advance the plot. One of the main ideas I''m going for with the game is a good story that people can get into, with an ease of playability so that people wouldn''t get pissed at the game quickly.
