Cursed Kingdom thread

[Enerccio]

Well, i am now making game called Cursed Kingdom.
In this game you are stranger, who killed the invincible demon and who get cursed by him. The only way to purify his body and whole kingdom is to find and use Wand of light.

Game concepts:
- 26 days where can you as a player find true love or not find true love
- In regular day you can:
* Work for money
* Train
* Buy new stuff
* Explore forests around city
* Spend time in Library
* Spend time in Park
* Not doing anything ( )
* Visiting castle
* Learning magic
- Ofc there will be some special days where you cannot do this stuff
- 6 girls:
* Princess (Best ending XD )
* Librarian
* Trainer
* Elf
* Wizard
* Cleric
- After the 26 day period, you and girl hero choose (based on VN dialogs with them) will try to find the magic wand.
- 7 good and 7 bad endings (+1 worst ending - you are dead XD )
- Combat with enemies (yet simple but it is better than nothing)
- 14 items to buy
- 4 types of jobs to work in
- You can be killed or kill with one hit (just like in real world)
- 8 music themes (3 all ready created)

This game will be created in pure renpy coding without DSE. Only variables, text, graphics, music and jumps (LOT OF JUMPS XD )

LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN DRAW BACKGROUNDS AND CHARACTER SPRITES.

Please post any feedback.

jumps (LOT OF JUMPS XD )

You'll also want to consider using call and call expression, as appropriate.

Mybe yes. But basic i got only jumps to days and jump to shops, locations and so on I have only wokr + 25percent of shopping programmed and it allready have at least 80 jumps XD

The premise looks interesting...have to give this a go when you get a demo of it or when you get it done.

Hey, I just thought of something...My Teacher became the first game completed after it had a demo here! CONGRATS, Enerccio!!!!

OK time for stupid question: what do you mean by *jumps*? Do you mean it takes place at a later time or....?

No here it is part of code and you will know what i mean by jumps XD:

Code: Select all

label shop:
    scene bg city shop
    so "Hello and welcome to my shop. is there anything you want?"
label shopagain:    
    menu:
            "Pick something. \n Gold: %(gold)s "
            "Ring - 170 gold":
                "This ring look\'s good. Many girls will love it!"
                "It is not cheap. 170 gold is not small amount."
                menu:
                    "Will you buy it?"
                    "Yes":
                        if gold < 170:
                            "You do not have enough money!"
                        else:
                            $ gold -= 170
                            $ ring += 1
                            "You bought ring."
                    "No":
                        pass
            
            "Diamon Ring - 400 gold":
                "Whoaa, what a nice ring!"
                "All girls will die for it!"
                "But it is very expensive. 400 gold..."
                menu:
                    "Will you buy it?"
                    "Yes":
                        if gold < 400:
                            "You do not have enough money!"
                        else:
                            $ gold -= 400
                            $ diamond += 1
                            "You bought diamond ring."
                    "No":
                        pass

                "Very cute silver necklace."
                "I am sure girls will like it."
                "Still it is 100 gold..."
                menu:
                    "Will you buy it?"
                    "Yes":
                        if gold < 100:
                            "You do not have enough money!"
                        else:
                            $ gold -= 100
                            $ necklace += 1

                    "No":
                        pass                           

label shopafter:
    if day == 1:
        jump two
    if day == 2:
        jump three
    if day == 3:

    if day == 4:
        jump five

    if day == 6:

    if day == 7:
        jump eight
    if day == 8:
        jump nine
    if day == 9:
        jump ten
    if day == 10:

    if day == 17:

    if day == 18:
        jump devetnast
    if day == 19:
        jump dvadsat
    if day == 20:

    if day == 25:
        jump dvadsatsest
    if day == 26:
        jump dvadsatsedem  

and in day there it is this:

Code: Select all

label three:
    $ day = 3
    $ renpy.music.play("nice.mid")
    scene bg room
    "Day %(day)s .\nGold: %(gold)s "
    scene bg city
    menu: 
        "So how will I spend my time today?"
        
        "Working":
            jump work
        "Training":
            jump train
        "Trainig magic":
            jump magic
        "Reading books":
            jump library
        "I will visit the Castle":
            jump castle
        "Shoping":
            jump shop
        "Exploring nearby forest":
            jump forest
        "Walking in the Park":
            jump park
        "Doing nothing":
            jump nothing

Maybe this is not good way to do that kind of stuff, but i like it it is kind easy.

And thanks. I red about that whenver here is released demo, it will never become full game. I broke that XD

[Watercolorheart]

Heh. It looks interesting. I like fantasy so I will look forward to it.

Also, ya~ay. I finally got the Teacher one on my computer to play with.

[Counter Arts]

lol... just reading that code reminds me of the days where I was programming ZZT as a kid. All those labels...

Not sure how far are you down in your programming but here is something I just came up with when I read your code and was looking at actual real programming. Combining a ZZT programming pattern with function calls. So bad... but it might give you an actual good idea.

Code: Select all

label day001:
    call normalDay
label day002:
    call normalDay
label day003:
    call normalDay
label day004:
    call normalDay
label day005:
    call special_event #your special event label
    if adventure == true:
       jump day007
label day006:
    call normalDay
label day007:
    call normalDay
label day008:
    call normalDay
    jump endingDays

And what is good with this kid of programming? What are advantages or disadvantages of function call?

Heh. It looks interesting. I like fantasy so I will look forward to it.

Well, it still need graphics though. I am no good at drawing...

[Counter Arts]

It basically means instead of this...

        jump dvadsatpet
    if day == 25:
        jump dvadsatsest
    if day == 26:
        jump dvadsatsedem 

You write this...

Code: Select all

return

The only problem is that you shouldn't jump in the middle of a call. There's a few details I forgot but that's the idea.

[Watercolorheart]

LOL, I used to program ZZT too when I was a kid. I was pretty bad at it, especially the debugging. (See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZZT )
It probably helped me overcome *some* of my fear of programming ...

I can't believe I'm meeting someone else that used that system ... did you ever upgrade to the MegaZeus one too?

Too bad I was too young to really know who Tim Sweeney WAS. All I knew was I loved the Caves of ZZT. XP

That will be the main problem. Becouse i will be jumping inside call a lot I mean when i am making the battle system at all...

[Counter Arts]

Okay okay, you can but as long as you remember to call "return".

And yeah, I upgraded to Megazeux. I saw the stuff made for that and it blew my mind! They had something simulating internia although you could only have like 50 variables.

Also, there were only GOTO <label> and IF <flag> GOTO <label> as the major control structures. There was NO "else if" or "else" in ZZT-OOP!

To have a function be called only 10 times, you had to have 10 labels of the same name and zap the first one that wasn't already zapped.
