"Harmonia", an online tactical RPG

[fusion_power]

I've found an interesting new project on Kickstarter, an online RPG in classical Dungeon Crawler style:

"Harmonia is an online, moddable, tactical RPG with a flexible scripting language that allows the community make their own content."

It's got my attention because thy use SDL and plan to bing the game on many platforms, so I instantly thought about Pandora. It looks like you already can play some ASCII Version of the game over telnet, putty, whatever:

Worth to test on the Pandora.


The planed 3D engine of course seems to be much mor accessible, I hope our tech gurus here can tell if this would be possible on the Pandora. As more Software we can make run on the Pandora, as better, imho. ^^

Hi, I'm the lead developer of Harmonia - I just stumbled upon this thread today, so I figured I'd give an update on our latest progress. We've just hired a new artist that's producing some amazing work, and we've included her first character in our new logo here:

We've also had a steady amount of development on our game engine. We currently have a demo available for download for Windows, Linux32, and Mac OSX 10.6+. Like Fusion_Power said, we're coding everything in SDL/C, so we hope to support as many platforms we can get our hands on for development. Here's a video of our latest engine features:

I wish you the best of luck. I've added my own modest pledge, but there is little more I can do than that.

It really looks pretty good so far, I like everything that includes an graphical Editor. The Parallax background Water layer might look a little bit weird but the actual 3D graphics are nice.


I'm actualy not a Dungeon Crawler player, I've once tried Nethack and it was just frustrating to die so often and have to start from the beginning. Harmonia looks more like an RPG, I hope it will go more into the Final Fantasy direction than in the hardcore Dungeon Crawlers direction.


However, We have many Fans of such games here, I'm sure they would enjoy this game. I also heared that our current, improved SDL is pretty optimized and fast, notaz is the man to ask about this stuff, he can do miracles every day.


I wish you all luck to get your Game funded, maybe it could help to get in contact with Notch? The Minecraft maker is a big fan of such games it seems. And he has a very large fanbase.


Viel Erfolg mit eurem Projekt.

I first heard about this from here, it looks like a solid game, perhaps one of the few tactical games I would enjoy playing. I like to focus on a select few characters when I play tactical games, and use the rest as meat shields... I shall also be backing this, once I get off work that is.
