Got a project idea coming along that will slice through to the limits of homebrew...
Q: what idea is that?
A: MMO 2D Sidescroller. An awesome remake of MapleStory remade on the DS.
Q: How will i use skills?
A: Hopefully by L+/R+ ABXY
Q: How will the duel screen mode work?
A: Top Screen is you char running, bottom is lvl/hp/mp/exp, map, and buttons for windows such as Items or Skill assign
Q: if my char is running on the top, how can i click on other users?
A: A button can be assigned to swap screens.
Q: If both screens will be full, how will i text chat with my buddies?
A: There will be no text chat for reasons of gameplay. The only time you could chat would be standing still as typing could take a while.
Q: Is it even worth the time to play since i cant chat?
A: Instead of text, one will chat to neerby, freinds, party, guild by selecting that option and then voice chatting.
Q: With the DS, as soon as i see another player, will it lag? what about 10?
A: hopefully we can cut out any data unnessesary to the player. Just X,Y pos and hp for starters... looks are in question.
Q: will there there be any other cool things?
A: yes, first, i want to make it wifi upgradable. Since homebrew apps have shown me that you can use a gba cart for data read AND write, this will make the actual game sizable and affordable on a cheap DS cart. 2nd, to cut down on hacking, player data will be kept online only. last but not least, Screenshots. i plan to make screenshots available to all players while they play... i found a programmer that has done this successfully with a paint program, i wish to implement it
There is no progress as of yet. I need the help of a few specialist DS prgmrs to aid in its creation. Please leave any help in the posts or my email
