ladlon Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Have you guys seen X@Com, the ASCII-based X-Com game? It's actually quite impressive, as far as visual flare (ironically enough). The interface animations alone are pretty impressive, and they do a surprising job of creating atmospheric/pyro effects with their limited graphic engine (ASCII!). I guess that the Xenonaut engine pretty much has static text display, but if not, I'd love to see some sort of animation treatment like seen in X@Com.

thothkins Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 thanks I hadn't seen that. I'm looking at this link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladlon Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 thanks I hadn't seen that. I'm looking at this link Yep, that's the site I was looking at. Sorry, I should have included a link! Thanks for putting that in there. Check out the vids. They get startlingly good animated effects using just the ASCII (and obvious cleverness). The explosions and fog (I THINK it is fog) are quite nice, and the text animation is really quite well done. The motion sensor is nice, too.

lightgemini Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Been checking X@com from time to time. Sincé I do play dwarf fortress and love it the idea of an ASCII xcom sounded very cool. If DF has done the imposible in the world of RPGs then X@com can be truly epic as long as your eyes dont melt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
