NightCity : a never completed project from 1997

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

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 :)

* Silhar gets badly excited !

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

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

It was planned to be a blend between Vampire : The Masquarade and Cyberpunk 2020.

[Silhar]

Never played CP2020, but "Night City" seemed to sound somehow familiar. Now I know where from.
So... Is the project completely abandoned ?

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

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 ;).

[Silhar]

Which means "lost forever", I'm afraid.

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

How much was completed?  Is there a playable version lying around somewhere?  Would a playable version feel complete?

"Do you want to know more?"

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.  >.<

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.

Sounds like a challenge to be met.  I wonder if we have enough capacity?

[Melon]

Was this written in C? [[[[[[[:

[Tavana]

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.

[yaflhdztioxo]

You say procedural like it is a bad thing :(

[ParaSait]

You wrote that when you were 14?? My, no wonder CF games is quality stuff :DD
