RPG project



Hi, I'm Mark (AKA: Kyo). I've always dreamed of making my own RPG from scratch. So I WAS trying to make it. I WAS writing it in Visual Basic 6.0 using DirectX8. For testing purposes, I WAS using graphics from the game SECRET OF EVERMORE. But then I threw out the Secret of Evermore graphics and began using my own test graphics. Unfortunately, due to being pressured to find a better job, I need to spend more time job searching and working on stuff towards my career. I'll leave this stuff up though for memories. E-mail me if you have any questions.

NEW: Changing the pace of this RPG and making everything a bit more simple. It'll be just like a normal RPG, but just a little more simplified. I'm gonna try to focus more on making a solid game instead of having to worry so much about graphics and too much other stuff. Think along the lines of Lost In Blue except 50 times more immersive.
IN THE WORKS: Still coding the AI.
