Scratch

Batch, a pretty old programming language compatible with most Windows based computers. It was originally from DOS and is simple to use, but can get messy if not handled properly.

New Website: Dystopia Universe
Dystopia Universe is multiplayer, while Dystopia is singleplayer and possibly local.
Also, we need help on the website and with the coding.
(BTW, local isn't the same computer, it's the same network)

Oh gosh, your website is blocked in China!

An entire text based game
In batch?

It seems awfully ambitious, I've tried doing that before and totally failed at it. But go ahead and do it, seems like an interesting idea. I'd love to pitch in but unfortunately my memory of batch is really foggy.

Ba-BUMP.
Oops, sorry, did I BUMP you on accident?

if you're going to make a batch game at least monospace the title lettering

The net send function will send data from the players, like in-game name, in-game location, etc. to the host computer, who sends the map and stuff to the players. Basically it's a port-forwarded net send function sending to one computer, which sends data back to the player. PvP is next to impossible when I think about it, but if someone joins maybe we could create arenas or PvP zones at some point.

My idea for multiplayer actually helps a lot with zones. Zones are basically just one section of the map. When you reach the edge of the zone or go to a zone exit, you go to another, different, zone.

The only problem is for you to not be able to loot resources constantly from just one resource tile...

I would join and help code, but I'm already up to my chin in other projects at the moment....

"You can gather random materials from Searchable tiles, represented as a question mark on the map, or gather specific materials from Trees, shown as a lowercase letter t, or Rocks/Quarries, shown as r and Q respectively."

I picked whatever it started with that was fitting. Lowercase t looks like a tree, Q looks like a hole in the ground (a quarry), and r is what rock starts with.

Working on the title screen, I really need members.

Ok, there seems to be a lull in the projects I'm already on...

I'll join and program.
