Alternate Reality X on Facebook!

ARX now has a facebook page so please stop by and take a look. New images of ARX's full screen mode as well as some of the Monolith Philip Price screenshots which I thought it would be nice to put up so people can see them more easily.

I've got a few interesting developments coming up that I'l be mentioning there so keep an eye on the page...

Alternate Reality X: New font & textures

I've now added a smooth font alternative for ARX which I'm fairly pleased with. You can see it in the screenshots below which also illustrate some of the new Alternate textures which I've added and the addition of  "ceilings" in the Dungeon. Hope you like them. Keep on supporting ARX.

Alternate Reality X: The Arena & The Palace

I've been thinking a lot about opening up ARX to the other scenarios and making a start on them now (as well as working through the roadmap releases) so that there would be content for the Arena and the Palace available as ARX becomes more complete. The other scenarios would be added later. A few questions though:

 

With new scenarios and new features a new style of AR will likely develop...

• What about features such as full screen 3D view with overlaid stats and menu options?
• 3D view with real depth to doorways and roofs on buildings etc
• 360 degree movement
• New mouse driven interface?
• How do you see the artwork working? 1 set of modern artwork (easiest for me using free resources off the internet) or 2 sets - modern and 8bit style

What do you want to see ARX develop into? Are you more interested in the new, next generation version or retaining the old graphics, interface and format?

 

Thanks as always for your input.

 

Thanks,
