Humm...

I wonder if I should look into maybe trying to take up Unity or GameMaker or RPGMaker (fwiw, I already have Steam licenses for both XP and VX Ace via a past Humble Bundle thing, though I haven't tried using them at all as of yet) or AGS... or maybe try to get back into doing something with TADS or Inform or perhaps the relatively newer RAGS...

Ah, idle musings... pie in the sky musings...

Is that the same thing you guys were working on from a few years ago? Iirc, at one point I made a loop for you out of part of a Linkin Park song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVYr9sKPF8s#t=00m54s) that you'd wanted to use in that as a dungeon theme or some such. Was that still the OW!RPG, or something different?

As for Ruby, I don't know much of anything about it. I'm familiar with Python and Javascript (which I used a little of in my old job), and C/C++ and a very tiny bit of Lua and such, which I used at DigiPen for a class or two. I haven't used any of that stuff in years though, so I'm rather rusty. If I get into this stuff, which still isn't remotely a given at this point, I guess it could be a way to knock some of the rust off, if nothing else. And I figure Ruby probably wouldn't be too awfully dissimilar from the others. Outside of really ancient languages like Fortran or Cobol or whatever, I've found that most of the languages are generally fairly similar, at least until you start getting into the more deep level shit like classes vs prototypes and whatnot. (Back in my old job at one point, I somehow successfully converted a previously written class structure in Python to a Javascript prototype structure such that the driver code could still be used with it without needing to be changed at all, and that shit was a real bitch. >_>;)

Yeah that was intended for OW!RPG back then, although I'm not really aiming to continue with an actual OW!RPG itself (Although having koby and TD running around in it is certainly on the table.)

Still gotta wait til I have the money to buy the 2003 engine since that's what we'll use if anything. And then hope it'll run on one of my two comps. ^^ Since this engine can do mp3s and the like for music, we'll probably use royalty free music from incomptech since there's lots of music to choose from on there.
