1. Bards Tale Game
A long time ago I hacked my way through creating a graphics engine to
mimic the one used in the Bards Tale series of games (my favorite games
EVER). It wasn't hard, but I found that trying to draw the dozens of
needed perspectives for each wall, door, building... was a momentous
challenge.
That brings me to now. I realize that with any 3D drawing program I
could do the work instantly. Just draw a single flat 2D image and have
the 3D program do the perspectives and save them in a file. No problem.
Also no problem is writing the code to display these images corectly. In
Euphoria it would be a NO BRAINER. Finally, I have already written a
object-oriented equipment/armour/weapon/magic system in Visual Basic. It
is based on the idea of "scripts" and I think it would be easy to port
into Euphoria.
So my point is this. Does anyone have the artistic ability to draw some
nice panels? Does anyone have the ability/software to transfer them into
a series of panels with the proper perspective? If so it would be SO
EASY to write a clone of the greates RPG game of all time, Bards Tale
III.
Anybody interested please let me know.

I loved the Bard's Tale Construction Set!!!
I would be happy to make some 2-d wall and door tiles...
I don't have anything to convert them into 3-d perspectives, but I would
like to make the 2-d tiles. I just need to know what size you need,
how many sets, how many in each set, etc. Just send any and all
information I need to make the tiles, and I'll get started, and send them
when I'm done.
P.S. I lost the BTCS when I moved, does anyone know where I can purchase it?
Is it still on the market?
