new modern harvestmoon/sim city esque game

Post by Anonymous »

ATM, im working on a game with my room mate. The game is set to be similar to harvest moon/ sim city, with the goal of owning/building/running businesses. For example if you buy a caryard, you will need to employ people to work there, plus buy cars to sell, and make sure you have a high popularity rating to get better prices on your cars.

Popularity can come from having a larger house and buying art, furniture etc off people in the community. The same goes for restauraunts/bars/caryards/hotels and ultimately casinos.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story/aim: you are an entrepeneur who has inhereted $50,000 from your grandmother. So you leave for town (name undecided). You want to start up a business to start your new life and meet a nice girl. However your enemy, Richie, has decided to do the same thing.

Go to town and make a life for yourself, and dont let richie stand in your way!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Features:

- so far only tile*tile scrolling (which will be updated to p*p later) (complete)
- lively town with NPC's and traffic (complete)
- unique graphics which i have yet to see in any other QB game (40% complete)
- the ability to build and place your own buildings in the town (still working on :)
- a spreadsheet system which allows you to manage your employees and money (complete)
- a 24 hour time system, allowing you to only open bars after 9pm/casinos after 8pm etc (waiting to complete businesses)
- a relationship and popularity system which allows you to buy and sell more effectively, as well as meet women to be your gf/wife! (still working on)
- Ability to buy businesses such as; casinos, bars, restaurants, caryards, hotels (completed 2 of these :)

*MAYBE* and AI system which will run against you - depending on whether there is enough program space left!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This game WILL be completed (when ready), it is about 30% complete (the engine is almost complete, just alot more gfx work), and i have more motivation than ever!!

ps thanks to all who have helped me in my q's!!

You seem to be worried about some restrictions that are on QB. You should check out FreeBASIC - QB only 32 bit, for Windows, and no limitations that restricted QB, like program space, graphics, and memory. Check out www.freebasic.net for more info.
