FantasyQuest

Many computer scientist wants too build up their own games with a scenario...

There is 3 difficulties :
You need an engine.
You need graphical resources.
You need a scenario/game design.

If you make the engine, you'll not have time for other things...May you are good at engine programming but may your are not good at the other things.

Build a game is difficult so there is my advice :
This project is not to make you build your own. It is to make you understand how it works.
If you want build games, build the game but not the engine. Take an engine that match your needs and lets roll ! (You can use frameWorks)
It is not already interresting for game builders to throw out thousands of code lines.

have fun !
