Cobal - Fantasy RPG

Just remember that even 'War Craft' started out as a shareware game. Who knows, maybe Cobalt 2 will be a huge online RPG that'll rival the popularity of Diablo or Warlords Battlecry III.

Either way, let us know first and we'll support your game all the way.

I agree, your game looked very impressive. You don't need to form a company just to sell it. Regardless our offer shall stand and if in the future you decide you want to make some money off your game please do not hesitate to contact us.

Good luck with your game.

Warcraft started as a shareware game ? I didn't know that. I think Blizzard is the best game company. All games had a very high quality.

Thank you. I'll contact you if I want to sell it.

I uploaded a new version. There are a few new features:

You can buy items
you can wear weapons/shields and so on
Weapon Damage is calculated
first version of a spellbook
Better Object Sorting
Skeletons and golems
ISO-Tiles

You now need DirectX9.c
Here you can dl the game(~36MB)

If someone wants to edit a World:
In the directory "Editoren" there is the file WorldEdit.exe.
You can edit the current world. When you want to create a new world, you need to delete/rename the file "Daten\Welt2.txt"

Warcraft started as a shareware game ? I didn't know that.

Pretty much all their games have shareware versions. I remember shareware versions of Lost Vikings, Black Thorne, Diablo 1, WC1 and 2. (yes, I'm a Blizzard fan too

) In fact, I recently learned that there was even a shareware version of Starcraft.

On a more on-topic note. Would it be possible to have smaller updates? I mean, is it really necessary to download a 36mb file to play the new version? I think more people would be willing/able to download/test a new version when the update is a smaller say 2 mb file.

We have started to program an updater which automatically download the files changed since last update. The only thing which is missing is adding/replacing graphics in the VTD-file. We'll try to finish it within the next weeks.

Hows the project coming? Any more cool screenshots to show?

Looks excellent. Great to see more projects being done in Delphi.

Nice use of Reiner's graphics.

I made a mission editing tool and a new screen, where you can change the look of your model(you can choose your model, size and color).
And I changed many small things like level format and so on.

I added an orc made by our graphic artist. We can combine 2 weapons and 3 shields: (Here you only see one weapon and one shield). I'll make new screenshots soon:

I also added particle effects for the spells, but it's not finished yet:

I didnt upload the actual version, because there was nearly no reply to the last versions I uploaded. I'll inform you when the new version is available.
