currently I am starting work on "dungeon master" style game, unfortunately for PC (we will use GameMaker (which I own), or MultiMedia Fusion 2 (testing demo), you may have look our previous demo game based on AB series, check thread
http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=49816
We have 3 options (for the Windows game)
- use RTC engine - free, but customization of game, dungeon, spells is very limited
- use GameMaker engine - I own licence, but there are some limitations too, and we have to build game engine
- use MM2 - I do not own licence yet, I will use demo for testing engine
I wil use ripped gfx from the "dungeon master" like AGA games (ishar, and so on), until I find someone who can paint gfx for us, I am not fan of rendered images, I like the old DM/DM2/EOB/ISHAR style.
