Why is the game text-only? Where are the 3d graphics?

Pizza Business
In creating this game, we decided that instead of focusing on creating pretty graphics, we would instead focus on creating a game which was fun to play. Also, since we do coding for this game in our spare time, we decided to try and limit the complexity of the task we were undertaking. A third reason is that none of the current development team is familiar with either of the two dominant graphics APIs: DirectX and OpenGL.

This project is my first attempt at a commercial game, and hopefully there will be many more to come.

If The Supernatural Olympics has a strong 3D feel, why not make it as a 3D game instead?

The Supernatural Olympics - FAQ
There are a few reasons why I made it a 2D game. First, I've been around 2D games for so long (at least 90% of my video game playing time), I know how they work to such great detail. Second, 2D has very low system requirements compared to 3D which enhances who can buy the game. Third, I've been making 2D animations for years (dating clear back to late 2001 at the earliest) and my techniques for making them have improved so much, they have a fairly strong 3D feel to them.

The game engine handles all the results that would normally be determined by rolling dice in the board game version of Strat-O-Matic. While there is a lot involved in the process, here's a quick overview: Every year of every player's career is represented by a "card" (not shown in FantaSim Baseball), on which there are lists of game events (e.g.

How did you manage to make the game behave like it was 3D if it was only a 2D game?

The Supernatural Olympics - FAQ
Math formulas, science, and more math formulas. All of my art-related formulas are here. They aren't as complex as they seem, even to get the 3D effects using a formula as simple as multiplying fractions, something a 4th-grader could do. There are several variants of the color-averaging formula originally discovered to do anti-aliasing and transparency in MSPaint since the program didn't allow it (and pretty much still doesn't as of mid-2006).

Are there any restrictions on how my motions are created in 3D Studio or Maya?

What was so special about the System Shock game engine?

The Unofficial System Shock FAQ
The System Shock engine was based on the same engine used in the Ultima Underworld games (which were also developed by Looking Glass) and was one of the first "true 3-D" first-person action games (in the sense that it allowed bridges and platforms that you could use to walk over areas that you could also walk underneath). At the time it was dismissed by many as a Doom clone, since Doom came out at around the same time.
