Hi Michael, At this point I don't know. I don't think anyone truly appreciates how much money would be involved in creating a game like this in a fully audio environment complete with sounds, music, and professional voice acting. We are talking somewhere between $1,000 to $2,000 to be conservative. That's just licensing the sounds and music. We haven't even talked about how much time would be involved in writing the game's story, writing the program, and testing it. It is almost impossible for a single person to create something like this on his own, and have a life away from the computer. I know that Entombed took two years to create. Well, what I want to create would be much larger because instead of 25 dungeons or so to explore we are talking cities, towns, forests, swamps, tombs, temples, and all kinds of stuff to explore. A massively huge game world which would require thousands of sounds to make it anything close to realistic. The more I think about it the less i want to work on the game. Text is simple enough to create, but a world done in audio would be a nightmare. I might have to settle on a simpler fantasy project. Perhaps a fantasy FPS game that uses only one of the places to explore rather than the entire game world.
