Title: NightCity : a never completed project from 1997
Post by: Kornel Kisielewicz on May 09, 2010, 08:14: Recently I've been browsing through old stuff, and found a project of mine from 1997. Let this thread be a tribute to it:

A tear in my eye :)

Geee, it's Vampire ! Tell me, are you going to finish this one ?
(Those descriptions ! Feels like a formidably true Role-Playing stuff !)

So... Is the project completely abandoned ?

Post by: Kornel Kisielewicz on May 09, 2010, 11:50: Now that I think of it, I was a very disturbed 14-year old to write such a thing -_-.

Abandoned? Yes. Completely? Up to you ;).

Youth doing awesome things is not quite disturbing. I'd rather say they are extinct.

Post by: thelaptop on May 10, 2010, 18:24: Hmm... this game looks interesting, taking the RL genre on yet another spin. Might be interesting if you could put up a runnable somewhere.

I do hope that you still have the code squirrelled away on your HD, Kornel. >.<

Post by: Tavana on May 11, 2010, 02:37: I've been told that the code exists, but needs huge quantities of work regardless of the language chosen. I've suggested that it be one of the items done to celebrate Neko being in a RL playable state.

Post by: thelaptop on May 11, 2010, 07:12: Sounds like a challenge to be met. I wonder if we have enough capacity?

Post by: Melon on May 11, 2010, 07:55: Was this written in C? [[[[[[[:

Post by: Tavana on May 11, 2010, 08:13: No. And it's very procedural. It would need to be re-written regardless, so I figured it could be picked up and put into Neko when the time comes. I have volunteered for that task, to clarify.

Post by: yaflhdztioxo on May 11, 2010, 10:38: You say procedural like it is a bad thing :(
