exactly! why do you think i stopped making it

zzt isn't really a great storytelling device or anything.

also: the tampons

In engines like this, the overhead map is always where all the action is; the 3D screen is just eye candy.

i sort of tried to play with that using the terminals. the map is blank and shows your relative position, so you can use it to some degree, but until you find one of the four terminals you don't see where the walls are. That and to keep things shooty, there are the doors that lead to regular overhead areas where you get keys and items, and there's a seperate engine for fights encountered in the 3d crawl.

I think that Scorch's CHRONOS CHAOS game or whatever had a 3-D maze.

I could be wrong though.

barney exterminator 2 had a 3d maze, that didn't let you see the maze top-down

it was really frustrating and annoying. the maze display was tiny, like 4x10, as well, which made it worse

So this is probably going to be the best 3d maze yet!

ps don't screw it up

I made a good 3D maze once. You could see three squares ahead, and also go up and down, so it was real 3D. I had to use a lot of objects in the display.

Unreleased, lost to time, etc.

yeah, this one is mostly objects too. it eats KB like crazy, I had to shorten the on board instructions.

nifty looking ZU entry :)

hey, anyone know of problems trying to change fonts under XP, ME, or 2000?

Wow, a zzt shooter that doesn't suck. Good job, Commadore. Your father would be proud.

What's with your "secret" board? And why the semi-monochrome?

Augh, so many questions!

Commodore · Post by **Commodore** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 8:31 am

1) it's linked to in the game somewhere... as a secret.

2) its easier to draw line drawings in monochrome.
