PkK Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) A few years ago I worked on a Tunnels and Trolls for the ColecoVision, too. My game would have been based on the RGB (I got a T&T license for the ColecoVision with the royalitites to be paid in games, not money). I developed a techdemo for a giant scrolling map (see http://atariage.com/forums/topic/118543-colecovision-tt-rpg-very-early-techdemo/ for a techdemo ROM), and also a Megacart to be able to fit more content into the game. But since then I simply did not have enough time to complete such a project. This might be different next autumn, so I might be able to complete it for early 2015, but I cannot make any promises. Philipp Edit: My game will most likely be based on the current version (7) of the T&T game rules, not the version of the rules that was current back when the ColecoVision as released (4 AFAIK). Edit2: I see that there was progress an controversies since I last worked on T&T. Apparently the 7th edition is no longer the current version, so I'll have to look into the deatils of this some more.

Ransom Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 And, really, what game doesn't need more trolls? And bacon. Definitely more bacon. Oops. Wrong thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I say PkK takes on the Coleco Tunnels & Trolls I take on the Atari 2600 Tunnels & Trolls bfg.gamepassion can make an original game with an original title like "Aydendi: Chowdery Mountain" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.E.R.O. Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 There's always Trolls and Tribulations, if you need more trolls. Hey, that was a great Commodore 64 game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I love the look of this game! I hope it gets a proper release some day. Really outstanding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+pboland Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 So many reaction, ... I prefer add precision ... Finally i really ask me if this game should be name Tunnel & Trolls. Why ? First, i didn't know that it was a paper RPG ... The only thing i had for making this game is : A rom showing an intro with a dragon, and 2 screenshots (Here : http://www.jeffbots.com/coleco/tunnelstrolls.html and http://www.sacnews.net/adamcomputer/upcomingreleases.html). Second : Copyright Third : This is not a RPG, it's a survival game with a goal. No XP earned, no weapon/armor upgrade. So no "specialist class in 7th edition" or no "Buffalo Castle" because the game is only about Dungeon/Dragon. So the game should be name Subterrain&Snake, or Dungeon&Dragons ( ). I don't want to make a bad buzz with this game ... I don't think you need to call it Tunnel & Trolls. Heck, you are making the game from scratch. Why not give it a new name. Something like "Dungeon Adventurers" or "Dungeon Hunter" or "Escape from Dragons Cove". Just a few idea's for naming the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorTom Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) I'd still love to see a T&T game get made; even better if it were reasonably true to the original artwork. Edited December 11, 2013 by DoctorTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardhat Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I certainly thought about Tunnels & Trolls but the RPG system that the work is based off of seemed more involved than I was into at the time. My current game Reckless Wizard is a kind of action game with RPG elements I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I hope these games are coming along, I look forward to playing Tunnels & Trolls or some kind of RPG. Hopefully Zelda comes sooner than later as well.. It's gonna be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should check Black Onyx from Team Pixelboy, I've heard is a very good RPG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Where did the Coleco Tunnels & Trolls developers go? Are they going to force my hand and make an Atari 2600 version before them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardhat Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The thread that was posted was more a tunnels and bats game, since there were no trolls. And it didn't use the classes or RPG elements of the original Wild Buffalo game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfg.gamepassion Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 The thread that was posted was more a tunnels and bats game, since there were no trolls. And it didn't use the classes or RPG elements of the original Wild Buffalo game. An that's why i won't use the name "Tunnel & Trolls" (And yes there's trolls in the game ... the video was just à WIP). So no problem about classes, RPG elements or copyright, it will just be inspired by the two/three screenshot found on the inernet from the vaporware.

Bill Loguidice Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I love the visuals! Will there be animations/options for shooting at angles? Since it's a bow and arrow, I wouldn't even mind a press-the-button-and-hold aiming mechanic where the character has to stop to knock the arrow and then release it.
