The 4th Dimension
« on: January 11, 2011, 09:35:52 am »
I, like a lot of other people, am starting an RPG. The title is: The 4th Dimension. I'm on the school comp, so screenies later. I have gotten the title done, and the inventory menu is in-progress. The inventory is actually based on the Minecraft inventory, however there will be no crafing bench (cooking area maybe...).

Anyways, the intro:
You are Zed, a denezin of the first dimension. Everyting here is a line because it is all one-dimensional.
Everyday is the same, get up, work, go home, sleep.
Nothing ever changes, until now.


I know it needs work, but this is the rough draft.

I find it interesting nobody has even made a comment yet... especially since it's probably gonna turn into something good too.

The story is a bit weak right now, but then again, that's common among many retro RPGs.  It's already better than FF1s :)  And yeah, there are a lot of RPG's going on right now, but yours like the rest of the bunch, is unique :)

I wish you best of luck, and I will be looking often to see what's going on, can't wait until the first screenie! :D

Hmm.  Do you plan on adding two more characters with names starting with 'X' and 'Y'? /random

Seems interesting!

I'm really curious what the graphics are if the universe is represented by a single line.  If it was first person, the view would be a single pixel XD is the story going to slowly expand through dimensions? I'm eager to see this progress :D

first, the lang is Axe, so I can work at school.
Second, you don't stay in the 1st dimension long, you quickly move to the second dimension (2d).
finally:

i love the title screen and simply cannot wait to see what else you come up with.

i am also reminded slightly of miegakure, a four dimensional platformer.

Hmmm. That gives me some ideas about making each dimension actually conform to how many dimensions it has. Originally, the 4th dimension was going to be top-down 3d as well. But now...

EDIT: How about this. With each new dimension, you gain the "ability" of that dimension.
So the 2nd dimension will be like a normal platformer and the 3d dimension will be top-down.
The 4th dimension I'm thinking will be cool. In the 4th dimension, I'm thinking that you will be able to shift the plane you are looking at. Kinda "turn" the level.
This would make world 2 action, world 3 adventure, and world 4 puzzle.

Feedback please.

do you have an idea for the first dimension? i'm thinking you have a line with circles and squares on either side and you have to get the circles to one side and squares to the other.
Code: [Select]
C-C-C-0-S-S-S
the 0 is a blank space. you can move either a square or a circle at a time. circles can only move right, squares left. circles may jump squares and vice versa, but not two in a row.

Maybe in the 4th dimension you could move backwards in time :O

Actually, you won't really do anything in the first dim, as I'm to lazy. Instead, it will just be a cut-scene, and then on to 2nd dim.
Builder: That could be a cool idea as well. Maybe you could isolate yourself in a time block, so you could either freeze time, or let time go on without you. Remember, nothing is locked in stone for the 4th dim.

The four dimension idea sounds a lot like a game I'm making called 5TD (*cough* pronounced STD *cough*) for some game competition.  Interestingly enough, it was also going to have you start at 2 dimensions and work up to 4... O_o (We decided there isn't quite time for that)  That sounds like an awesome game for a calculator though =D  If you can pull off a working 3D system... =D
