Well it would not take much to make any random dungeon generator a first person 3D one. You just have to have it output in the script format used by a 3D engine. I think the hard part is getting the layout to be fun and entertaining, and not too tedious. Also no surprises like, "what the heck is this doing in the middle here!?! That doesn't make any sense!"

Don't bet on that - I am still waiting for someone who finds out what a pleasant job it would be to create a 3D version of Angband that really shows off. I think the real problem is to create models for 300+ different monsters *g*

I said dungeon creator, not game creator. I Just meant the whole random design of a dungeon, less the monsters. Thats a whole other generator!

Angband is based on randomly generated dungeons. |

could you give a brief explanation about the game's plot and how the interface and combat handles? thanks.

Actually, it is NOT based on Daggerfall and Battlespire's combat system. If you vahe ever played Jedi Knight, you will notice that Morrowind's combat control works much like that. Your TO HIT and DAMAGE depends on your skill with that particular weapon you would be using. Same goes with blocking. With shield in hand, depending on your blocking skill, you will get a better TO BLOCK chance, which happens automatically. The higher your sword skill, the more you'll land sword blows and the more damage you will do, as goes with the shield. I have been testing for a few weeks now and it turns out that you can get used to this system very fast and will learn to like it.

yes, and apparantly the shield block animation is reeeally cool. the shield raises, and you'll hear a bang as the opponent hits it, and when the shield goes down you just continue whacking. 
anyway, if you haven't played JK, it's like this: you press a movement key and then press attack which means there are 4 different attacks(which means you'll have to stop for a fraction of a sec if you want to perform a stab while moving left). this system sounds very good to me. also, the longer you hold down attack before releasing the harder the blow will be. |

I quite like the sound of daggerfall's combat system, it has to be better than UA's "whack-attack" system which was quite frankly repellant. I remember hours of coma-like states where I industriously attempted to give myself RSI or arthritis. Oh look a wolf *clickclickclickclick*, oh look a bandit *clickclickclickclick*. |

I loved Daggerfall... it was just awesome even with the bugs... I'm really looking forward to Morrowind. The developer interviews over on rpgvault really have wet my appetite for this game. One thing I am dissapointed about is that they took away the climbing ability that you had in Daggerfall that allowed you to climb the walls of any structure(Great for a thief)... Although it is understandable given that the climbing ability was very buggy in Daggerfall and it's one less thing to test in an enormous world. I'm really glad that they are spending so much time testing. By thr time the release it should be in pretty good shape I hope |

You are the first and only person that I have ever seen that put "like" "Battlespire" in the same sentence. Usually "Battlespire" is preceded with curse words and followed with "where is my receipt so I can take this piece of crap back to the store."

I agree with Rendelius, I liked the combat system in Arena and Daggerfall.
I also liked the sounds that the male and female vampires made in those games. Was very original, scary and cool. |

a combat system like gothic would work nicely for morrowind i think. forward for thrust and sidestep for slash like they say, but not all this mouse-moving-sword-sim-bull.
