This is for the TI-92, so if you have one then anyone is welcome to try it out. You can get the demo version at: http://www.iserv.net/~mikev/rpgdemo/

The demo is only the world map, however the game is running at the approximate speed the finalized version shall. Some stats, in case you're intrested.

Time  |  Action
‹‹‹‹‹‹0‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹
 0.75s|  Walking around 65% faster than before
    3s|  Walking around and scrolling vert
    3s|  Walking around and scrolling horz
   16s|  Redrawing the entire screen

This data is subject to change as the last time I check was a few days ago and I have programmed a lot since. Redrawing the entire screen is a rare occurrence and should mainly happen after being teleported or moving to a new map, not walking around the map. This game does scroll and is decently fast for basic. Please try it out.

Danger, dungeons, corrupt kings, rampant monsters, a danger in the north, not to mention evil wizards. Will that plot be enough, of course with a story.

I am afraid that this an RPG with a plot, not hack and slash. Although there will be a great deal of investment in battle system. If you or someone else would be willing to write a program to create random worlds that would be great and I would do my utmost to support your development.

Okay, I document it and when it is complete I will give out most/all of my development tools so to foster developer support. Of course I will need to be mentioned as it is my engine.
