An optics-based Role-Playing Game
This repository is for all the assets related to the collaborative RPG (Role-playing-game currently) being developed by RPI students David Medlock and Devak Patel.
When the game engine is finally complete, it will remain located at this repository as a free and open source engine. However, development on the story/art and the rest of the game beyond the engine will not be posted to github. This is probably a long way off right now.
If you clone this and expect it to compile and run on your computer, you'll have to update a few project properties (namely the c++ include/library directories) in the Visual Studio project properties settings tab so that they are specific to your local repository.
If you just want to test whether it can run on your computer, download DEBUG_TEST_RELEASE.zip from the 'Releases' folder and extract the contents to your directory of choice, and then try to run the executable. This is currently only supported on x64 bit architecture.
Note: There do not exist any stable releases for this game yet. The purpose of the one in the 'Releases' folder is to test whether it can be installed in its current state.
This game uses a unique vector art file format, the Fourier Graphic, or '.fgr' file. The tools to edit and manipulate these types of files are in development here, and help developing them is always appreciated!
While this project has not been updated in a hot minute, it is not dead. Both developers have been busy with schoolwork and other things (Work + Job Apps) and will pick up when we have time. This is a passion project that is done in the developers' spare time, and we both want to come back and work on it as soon as possible.
Edit 2020: Found this in my github repos, and realized that it was still considered "open". Both developers have moved on to other things, and safe to say this won't be worked on in the near future. If you are reading this, feel free to pick it up and continue it!
