Rol'An'Go - HomeBrew - Tactical RPG on Megadrive

[Vetea]

! Rol'AnGo Megadrive Edition !
Hi all,
Here is my new project for Megadrive, Rol'An'Go an old project on PC I done 4 years ago.
Here is a Video Gameplay on the PC version :

It's a very complex game for the Megadrive and a hard challenge ... But, Papi Commando give me a lot of experience for.
It's a Turn/Turn gamplay like Heroes of might and magic.

I've finished the graphics media. You can see some of them :

Player Sprite :

Monsters :

I've juste started the game and share you a first prototype !!
You can travel in this huge map ( 320 x 960 ) with your PAD.

You can DL the Proto here :

It's a good start for me and a very different game as you can usually find for the MD.
See you !

The video for the pc version seems to be missing - can you post the link?

 

 

I've been noticing missing YouTube video links for a while now - the first one on a page will show up but any posted after that don't. I've learned that if you click QUOTE on the post with the missing video you can get the video's URL.

Wow this looks sweet, definitely going to give it a try later.

 

Really digging the tactical gameplay.

Hi all,
Today I've updated the ROM : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/108143465/RolangoProto.bin
I've managed the selection of Player, some code optimisation too.

As you see in this short video :

 

For now, there is no gameplay available, it's a Work in progress version.

See you !

Hi all,

Today I manage the Window's information text !
It depends to the text's size, position, etc ...

I also modified the cursor gestion.

You can find the new Proto Rom :

See you !

Hi all,

Today I've just started a HUGE work with the A* adaptation for the game !

 

 

There is a few seconds of CPU work ( depend the distance of the Path as you see in the video ) but it's ok for a turn base game !
It's awesome ... this 68K simply rocks !! :-[

A great improvement for the game for me.

See you !

New Demo available !

Hi all,
This time this, the serious things begin.
Indeed, with this new demo, you can take control of our 4 adventurers and explore the map.
Not still of fight, nor IA for the moment... That will come soon !



Commands:
- PAD to scoll the map.
- Button A to select your heroes or inquire information.
- Button B to select the destination and move your hero.

It is still only a Fench version prototype! Nothing is still definitive !

Link of the demo:

Enjoy with this demo, it represents an enormous work.
See you !
