Title: Undercroft
Post by: Silverwind on September 22, 2010, 07:44:33 AM
I downloaded a pretty impressive free iPhone RPG the other day: http://www.undercroft.com/

Although it's made by the guys behind RuneScape, the game's structure is extremely simple. Basically you explore an enclosed area of the overworld, find the 3 or 4 hidden dungeon entrances in it, explore the dungeons then return to town with loot, to purchase upgraded equipment of course. Then you move onto the next section of the overworld and repeat the process.

I'd love to make a short game like this sometime.

Or you could just wait until Silver makes a similar game.   ;)

I wish I had the time! All of my days go into work and most of my nights go into church related things. I sometimes jot down ideas for new games though, or unfinished existing ones. After a 12 work shift on Saturday I actually got a decent amount of work done on the RSRPGE. Healing items are almost complete now, and I'm working on ranged weapons and spells.

I'm still really exited about Elathondréoth, and hope to release it before another year goes by.

You would only need an iPod touch to play iPhone games, then you don't have to get a long contract. Or maybe get an old iPhone 2G and then crack it for TMobile.
