We compiled initial working prototype with 3 virtual houses, 1km x 1km x 300m (virtual land space), 4 non-player characters
game is set in initial medieval environment, complete with virtual wooden houses, player attired in medieval clothing, virtual scenery (shrubs, trees, lots of woods)
- there is concept of virtual time, 1 virtual-day takes 30 real-world minutes.
- there is rainfall, water, fire, sky simulated. you look up, there's ambient sky (sometimes it rains), there is water for land below certain level.
- physics engine takes care of projectiles. gravity (g) is set to 9.8, but we could make g=1.2 (you fly) or g=20 (you swim instead)
- player can interact with currently 4 other characters. (polarity increase using formula described previously)
- player goes exploring places for clues. he can either choose to help or offend with funny effects.
initial observations:
- pet your virtual dog, send them virtual love.
- players inside virtual world think they are separate from each other, they are all one inside virtual world
- treat virtual people well, they will treat you well in return
- small irritations help discover yourself
- don't know what to do? explore place and discover clues
----------------------------------------------------------------
i'll try to release binaries after clearing licensing, etc.
