Following DwarfHall, DwarfMaze puts you in a Maze with another Dwarf guarding the only exit. Collect a Crystal by travelling on the Flying Platform and the way will open. (2.2mb)

That was good fun. Very nice.

One thing though. The camera seems to be rotating with the mouse after having been orientated to the dwarf.

That was pretty fun but the camera was really jumpy.

Ugh... I HATE self-extracting archives! They make you specify the directory yourself and they don't even open the folder for you. Anyways...

The game has an interesting concept. I think you could expand on this and add enemies, extra objects, more levels, etc. However, after I collected the pearl, my dwarf and the moving platform stopped when it was about to lower. O.o Does this by any chance use the demo version of NGC?

Yep, so you have a 3 or 4 minute timelimit.

Winrar has a lot going for it, it reduced a 10.5mb file down to 2.2mb and by making it self extracting, you dont have to have Winrar on your PC. I've yet to find a setup program that will reduce a file that much. Most would manage around 4.5mb.

Still, there is no excuse for it not to open the folder after it extracts for you. I cannot stress this long enough.

And BTW: Clickteam's Install Creator can manage 3.9 Meg, which is smaller than the size you mentioned for the other install programs...

We need to get back on topic here!

Ok you're right, these ideas could make an interesting game. I may well develop them. The Dwarf is an excellent character, there are so few free quality animated characters around and there is a lot of work to perfect them..

I think you ought to have multiple levels in the maze, and the elevators would take you up and down between levels. That could make things real interesting.

Actually that particular wall texture ships with the Cartography Shop demo. I've not tried 3dGame Studio.

that was a pretty neat game, i had a bit of fun with it. But it was quite short but mazes can be tough to think up so good job!

When it comes to programing, I'm on fire!

hows the work going?

@ cattle rustler: there was the other thread cause a few weeks ago before this thread he made a program called dwarfhal as a test for his engine, it sank in the list but then someone brought it back to the top.

Thanks, CattleRustler, there are two threads because there are two different programs, DwarfHall and DwarfMaze.

Ilya,
What is the advantage of 'Compressing attached media'. I tried this and the resulting file was 4.25mb (not 2.5mb with Winrar) and when the exe was activated it took twice as long to load, I guess because it needed to uncompress.

Uberwiggett robx,
The work is going well thanks, I have become somewhat sidetracked with ways to acquire, create interesting characters for games and 3d programs.

The default editor is fine.

In case your interested I posted a random 3D maze generator with a map in the codebase a few months ago, guess it may be of use to you.

Hi Deep Blue,
Yes I do have your code snippet on my computer and considered using it when I thought of doing the Maze. There was one thing that disuaded me. Even though the frame rate is healthy, there a serious jerkiness about the camera movement when panning etc. I couldn't find a way to eliminate it. Other than that it looks great. Any ideas of resolving that movement issue, or why it happens?
