<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2022 Easy-to-navigate menu-driven game editor with online help available for each menu by pressing F1<\/p>\n
\u2022 Create scrolling world maps and one-room-at-a-time maps<\/p>\n
\u2022 Several ‘world kits’ of pre-made creatures, terrain and items that you choose from to import into your new game: EURASIA, FANTASY, SPACEKIT and DELUXE. Modify one of these or build your own from scratch.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Creatures and NPCs can be neutral, hostile, or friendly – meaning creatures can end up attacking each other and\/or rushing to the player\u2019s aid<\/p>\n
\u2022 Create Ultima-like conversations for NPCS, where they respond to certain keywords and ask yes\/no questions. You can also have a branch of a conversation run custom scripts<\/p>\n
\u2022 Build ‘mosaic’ still screens that you can use for intros and cut-scenes<\/p>\n
\u2022 Make interactivity without scripting – use the editor to create objects that respond to specific triggers and which perform a single action (give player item, damage player, summon creature, etc.) or which set off a stack of other objects beneath them.<\/p>\n
E.g. create a dynamite object that triggers all objects under it if it’s bumped into while the player is carrying a match. Then stack a ‘display long message’ object (which describes the explosion) and ‘remove all wall objects’ object underneath the dynamite object in a room.<\/p>\n
\u2022 The scripting language (macro) allows more control of interactivity, and tricks like displaying a 256-color bmp image in game or running an external MS-DOS program<\/p>\n
\u2022 Weapons can be melee or a variety of ranged – pinpoint, for arrows and guns and such, where you aim a crosshair on your target, or thrown weapons with a blast radius (grenade-like) or \u2018cone\u2019 or \u2018stream\u2019 which fire continuously out from the player to its maximum range (cone ranged weapon = flamethrower \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n
\u2022 Built-in support for merchants with inventories who buy and sell<\/p>\n
\u2022 Game engine keeps track of in game days and hours — can simulate night by reducing player\u2019s view radius and run specific script at break of each day<\/p>\n
\u2022 Three different fonts (Basic, Italic, and computer-esque Future one) to choose from for you game, and you can edit these or draw your own<\/p>\n
\u2022 Handy drawing editor for making the tile graphics<\/p>\n
\u2022 Mouse and keyboard support<\/p>\n
\u2022 Define vehicles the player can board to travel across otherwise impassible terrain<\/p>\n
\u2022 Set structural strength of objects – so that some weapons can’t harm or destory them but others can<\/p>\n
\u2022 And the proverbial more!<\/p>\n
