Does anybody like square based 3D-rpgs like "Dungeon Master", "Eye of Beholder", "Black Crypt" and "Lands of Lore"? I´m writing a clone with d3d8 right now and am a little bit curious...

Heh ... Lands of Lore was a cool game. So was Dungeon Master. I like that old-school stuff.

Lands of Lore was a great game. Dungeon Master II sucked. I have never played Eye of the Beholder and I have never even heard of "Black Crypt".

Dungeon Master and the EOB series were excellent games, but the best of that style of game ever produced in my opinion was the Amiga/PC Sci-Fi classic ''Hired-Guns''.

I think in writing such a game, you''ll end up spending a lot of time drawing monster and wall graphics.

I loved the first Dungeon Master (except the end bit), and Eye of the Beholder. I think the key to making such a game successful today would be atmosphere. That, and not having bits where you can get stuck. I really hate it when I have no idea what I need to do, but I have explored everywhere I can.

Kick arse graphics and sound would go a long way too, but that''s the same for all games really.

Ah yeah, I still remember Lands of Lore... It was so much fun indeed. I liked Wizardry 7, too, although it was a bit hard to find out what you had to do next. But I liked the fighting system and stuff.... *sigh* The good old days .

You are right. Drawing pictures is tedious. But I´m planning to buy myself a digital camera and create all the animation sprites in no time.

Is it true that id did the monster graphics for Doom by taking photos from 8 angles of small clay or plastacine models they built and painted?

It''s also possible to render all your wall and monster graphics in MAX.
