comeing to an island near you!

Post by zaroba »

a nice economy with a healthy balence between fighting and economy
an island where the economy will never go downhill or become flooded
an island where if the market for an item gets flooded, you can just blow up your compititions buildings
an island where items can be made cheap, and many buildings are easy to replase when blown up
an island that (hopefully) brings weapons into an economy without the fighting side or economy side being decreased in enjoyment at all!

Damn! Sounds like my island, only without the blowing up buildings part...

To be honest, it sounds a lot like Netropolis at http://netropolis.lineone.net
But I'm guessing perhaps...Zoric 7 or whatever the number seems to be nowadays (Wow, we've come a long way since Zoric 2 huh?)

Maybe he's talking about "The Underground"?

yeh, i'm still working on it part-time inbetween game models, but it probably won't be out for at least another month. it'll be called reina roja - it's actually right next to the reine blanche planet you guys will have access to, which is a rather complicated island in and of itself really.

a bit different than what zar's describing though. in roja you'll once again have to build a boat to explore a limited number of other land masses (others you'll need to unlock in other ways). you only have a limited skillset to start off, and you'll have to unlock additional skills by building up your character and accessing other islands.

the economy will also be maybe 50% of what a normal island would be, and instead focuses on buying things to make your house and such look pretty.

like zar's thing here, there'll be weapons, and lots of bounty, wealth band tax, etc to make being rich more miserable and difficult to maintain than being poor.


atm all i've got done is the landscapes, some settings and maybe a house or two. hopefully after i finish off some of the cricket stuff i can bug fooli for more models ;)
